WTF are they thinking ?

July 15, 2007 · Posted in Misc 

I would have provided a summary of this story, but that tends to attract the wrong audience through organic keyword searches on search engines.

Have a look at the following screenshot from the recently launched entertainment portal, Buzz18, owned by TV18. I agree that a newly launched site needs to be seeded with initial content — but such crap ??

On the same topic, take a look at the banner ad that appeared on Rediff at the leaderboard position (Tip: Anthony)

Shouldnt these guys be acting a bit more responsibly ??

    Utterly crass and shocking! And I totally agree with you!! WTF were they thinking?! Not being a hypocrite here - porn has it’s own place in cyberspace - not on my (once) favourite news site and an up and coming generic audience entertainment site for sure!!

    Banners ad servers that accept porn ads do have a higher payout, but should rediff compromise on user experience for revenue’s sake?

    For a content site as rediff, it is the user that helps pay the bill :)

    Check out zapak.tv.
    Zapak is touted to be the gaming site for all indians. And this kind of irresponsibility and cheap tactics leaves a bad scar.

    The above examples too show how low some corporates can stoop. Very disappointing!!
