What the?!?!

So you noticed? -edit- Continue reading to find out why this blog has been censored

EDIT - due to contractual restrictions from certain corporate entities we are unable to actually speak our minds and expect to get paid.

I understand the stance of the company in question, with all the click fraud nonsense. However, I think that a company with a market cap of $115 billion can figure out a way to solve this problem without muzzling the little guy making a request for his readers to help support his humble labor of love.

Asking your viewers to help out on a free site is not exactly a revolutionary idea. PBS and NPR regularly ask their audiences to help out. All sorts of websites ask for donations. Their is an entire school of software distribution, called shareware, which is based on this concept of asking people for their support.

So, in conclusion. I was in violation of an agreement. However, I can't help but think that there is a better, more content creator friendly, method of solving this problem.


edit- I'm getting ready for some traffic. I have some good ideas and it may, will, get crowded around here. We're just days away...

Let me know what you think? Good? Bad? Innocuous? Enquiring Bloggers want to know!

As of post time I'm listening to I'll String Along With You from the album "When I Look In Your Eyes" by Diana Krall
