[ NNSquad ] Try Blocking These Ads!
Greetings. Since we were talking about advertisements -- ads people like, ads people hate, ads people welcome, ads people block, I thought you might find this newly launched site of interest and amusement: Vintage Ad Browser ( http://bit.ly/5rhJg9 ) The site offers searchable images of more than 100K vintage ads, some reaching back almost 200 years! Be warned: It's both fascinating and potentially time consuming, unless your self-control is well tuned. There are more than a few lessons in how to design compelling ads within this massive corpus. Vintage Ad Browser is apparently a spinoff from the several years old: Cover Browser ( http://bit.ly/4L73gF ) which itself features almost half a million covers from comics, books, and other materials, and can be equally addicting. Yes, ads -- like comics -- *can* be fun. --Lauren-- NNSquad Moderator
