I personally think AdSense sucks. I was really fed up with those clingy, annoying ads and started using FireFox extensions. I even personally suggest my friends to do so. I'd prefer DoubleClik's banners instead. At least they have some aesthetics and creativity ( very few of them though.)Google has successfully fooled the advertisers. Don't you think so?
Its not just the stupid-looking ads but my privacy is also in their hands every time any Google Ad shows up on any website. I am assuming that you guys know how Google Ads work!
I don't think they will be able to make much money out of it in coming years. And,users will definitely rise up against Google to regain their privacy.
I think it is a good idea ! It would be a great opportunity for those who are looking for great hackers or great ideas. Why don't we form a "Boston/Cambridge Young Entrepreneurs Club"? We could have monthly meetings, reviews of our demo products and sharing knowledge/experiences. We could also discuss different successful start ups, fund raising issues...sort of our own small Start Up school - by Entrepreneurs for Entrepreneurs ! Those who are successful founders in the area can also tell their stories and share their experiences. We could extend this idea to the next level by having investors to give us talks if possible. Any suggestions/issues?
