Bum

[faustus]

I subscribe via lj to two Guardian feeds: their general largely news one, and the books one. I tend to right click to follow up a story, and it fills me in with material I might not catch on their hideously designed webpage and certainly not see on the book pages (the blog seeming to consist of self-evident manifest bollox written by trolls of one shades or another, sample subject, "Why has no one ever written a novel about a whale?")

Last week the Guardian newsfeed switched from headline-and-a-gobbet to entire articles, saving me the need to click through but meaning I have to do a lot more scrolling. Now the book feed has adverts. Is this enough for me to unsubscribe?

Nearly. We'll see.

Could just be that my browser suppresses ads more effectively than yours, because I'm not seeing any there either.

I was going to say I use Google Chrome which might have An Issue in suppressing GoogleAds - but then realised am at work and thus using hack! spit! Internet Exploder. Will check at home.

Meanwhile, am now advertising a Coventry taxi firm (and a Folkestone restaurant) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/andrewmbutler/1970281433/) ...
