You might find advertising to be the cancer of the internet, think again. The internet would be pretty much dead without ads, or would you rather pay $0.01 per Google search query? $0.01 for each e-mail send, $0.01 for each news article you want to read, etc, etc? (or more related, $0.01 for each facebook message you want to send/read?) In the end, good advertising means success, take the drop of facebook shares because of the investors being worried about facebooks' advertising possibilities. - Matijn -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
