Comments on: Forbes.com: It’s Not An Ad, it’s a “Welcome Screen” http://www.johnon.com/339/welcome-screens.html I think there's an opinion on that subject lying around here somewhere....

If you want to view the content that they pay writers, etc., to create, then it's a small distraction. No one would pay to visit your house, so the analogy is terrible. <strong>@JT:</strong> <em>I think you missed this one. Forbes is the one calling it a "Welcome Screen" on their site.

@JT: I think you missed this one. Forbes is the one calling it a “Welcome Screen” on their site. It’s not a welcome screen.. it’s an ad.

They don't know anything about the internet, but they just don't seem to give a shit either. It's like they wallow in their own ignorance. Not that I'm opinionated of course...
