   I'm interested in adding #AdBard ads to Identi.ca. adbard.net only shows FLOSS-related ads. See http://adbard.net/ads

     @bbh have you looked at the AdBard ads? Or the FSF post about Adbard? http://www.fsf.org/news/ad-bard

     @evan Cool, I'd personally welcome AdBard ads. Seems like a good, ethical, and contextually fitting way to support identi.ca.

     @evan because you can look at #twitter and they have no ads, I'm trying to convince people here in !mx to use !identica they usually compare

     @evan I mean new people hate ads, especially people from #twitter and If the see ads here they will just turn back to that service

     @evan yes and I like adBard, for me to promote #freesoftware but for the new people ads are just ads, and usually they hate it

     @evan but I have two opinions, for me as #freesoftware user and enthusiast #AdBard is good, and I welcome it to !identica

     @evan personally I don't mind but be aware in the minds of many it puts 1 notch in the reasons to use twitter column.

   • Basilio Briceño Identi.ca

     @evan but also I think this maybe can stop people who hate ads to change to !identica but maybe I'm wrong, maybe you should ask to people

     @evan Please do do that.

     @evan #adbard on !identica would B fine, as long as not 2 intrusive. B nice if it became opportunity for lesser known FLOSS 2 get exposure.

     @bbh They do have ads. There is one displayed atm and it is just masqueraded to not look like one.

     @bbh those that hate ads are already running adblocking software. When I looked at @evan's page earlier I had to turn it off to see the ad

     @evan The best thing about this is that it'll push #AdBard and encourage people to use it instead of Google's. Also, apply it beautifully.
