Hi LongOnDell, RE: WebWasher.

Thank you for the post.

Have you tried this product? And if so, what do you think?

I have been waiting for something like this to come out and wonder what advertisers will think, "If people can erase my ads, why bother advertising on the net?". Or, if this will cause advertisers to morph further into content to erase their distinction as advertisers making it harder for products like WebWasher to eliminate advertising. Or possibly, people will really want the ads and not use the product because the ads are smarter than those in other mediums and more accurately adresses their needs.

In my opinion, I think this is just the beginning of user control over advertising and how the advertisers and ad eliminators will creatively respond to get the users attention. Very cool... lots of room for business opportunities and another example of how the internet and computers will continue to create new industries and drive the economy.

What do you think?

Jon :)
