Audio ads concern Yes audio ads can start out short, sweet and unobtrusive. But take internet banners for instance. It started out, where each site has a banner or two, now some sites just go plain overboard, bombarding you with flashy ad, after flashy ad. Now multiple flashing ads on the same screen. Where the advertizement content takes a long time to load and distracts you from what you are trying to do. AOL and Deja.com for instance. I praise yahoo for continuing to keep their advertisement in an unobtrusive way. I hope GMGC remains sensitive to this issue. I would prefer that Portico reminds you to buy flowers for your wife for her anniversary and says, would you like me to order flowers for your wife? And if the answer is yes, you choose what you want and Portico uses a floral service in contract and receives a kickback for the purchase.
