I also voice on TUAW favor. Probably because they post a lot, I learned so many new things on it that it got a great value for me. But I hate how sluggish it’s site is to load on my slow 33.6 Kbps connection.

Hey Mike,

Please don’t misconstrue my mentioning that AdSense is back. AdSense is a part of the web today. My brain-filters are pretty good. I will click on things that might interest me in the knowledge that it will also help you. I’d like to see you make a little money off of this.

Aloha

Just to say I don’t mind having the adsense adverts as long as they are fairly unobtrusive. Occasionally I do click on them if they are relevant ( I just clicked on one that interested me now).

I would say TUAW is one of my favorite Mac focused website on the web. Some of the kocks on the site have to do with the so-called “filler” posts but to be honest I rather see that there is fresh content than nothing at all. If it doesn’t interest me I skip it. No biggie.

BTW – Did I miss the deadline for the contest? If so too bad, I actually had a write up about your site awhile back (http://stationa.net/?p=151), in addition to a link on the main page.

Sorry I missed out on the contest.

Yeah, I really llike TUAW. For a site that posts a lot, most of it is what I want to read. That is becoming a growing problem among tech blogs.

Smittie – Yes, several people suggested that they didn’t really mind the small Google ads, so I thought I’d try putting just those in.

Huh. AdSense is back. You had a change of heart?

I’ve started to go off TUAW a bit. They post a lot, and sometimes I get the feeling they are trying to achieve a certain quota of posts per day, or that the writer’s get a commission for each post. In other words, there’s a fair bit of crap.

I don’t want to be too negative about the site, that’s just the feeling i’ve been getting.

Lately i’ve been visiting http://www.Macuser.com instead.
