I came across the article today in Advertising Age (via a Wall Street Journal link). The article hints that this is the first step toward advertising showing up on iPods.
I’m not surprised. It was inevitable that advertising would show up on iTunes. I’d been hearing it in some of the podcasts I listen to already. I wouldn’t expect Apple to turn down that revenue stream forever. It’s still a little sad that there’s one more place we can now expect to see ads.
no place is sacred these days… from the wide open spaces being littered with new apartment complexes, to iTunes and ads… i notice some of areas i would love to drive through are not as inviting because of these new mega apartment buildings… i wish people would just appreciate the peace of mind that can come with wide open spaces… literal spaces or cyber spaces… :o)
I wish there was someone I could pay to shield me from all the advertising cluttering up the airwaves and the world.
