Ad-free

The following is a DailySkew Public Service Announcement. Here is DailySkew co-founder, Tony Vahl:

At this time, we here at the DailySkew have decided to go ad-free on our oldest web address, dailyskew.com.

Why(tm)?

The reason is quite simple, friends. I don't NEED $.70 EVERY THREE MONTHS from googoogoogle. OOOOOooogle. Rhymes with....

I don't need it, and I have confirmed, via telepathic communication, that Slim Dami don't need that chump change either, doogal.

$.70 every three months is INSULTING. FIVE YEARS OF "Billions for goo, $.70 for me" has worn me out.

I guess that's the price I've paid for being a loyal supporter of Gmail, Calendar, Docs and spreadsheets, Gmaps, GScholar, G-Earth (Earth-G?), etc.

I still love those free services, and plan to continue using them. I am grateful for their free services, as they've improved my Internet life. For example, the fact that I can watch Bloomberg TV or CSpan 2, thanks to iGoogle and Lab Pixies, is really cool.

So, while I may feel insulted, I understand. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

Besides, I make an okay living in my real life ... so who cares if I'm writing for nothing with clicks for free? What am I, panning for gold here?

Whatever.
