Desi Cartman Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 I just saw a popup on TOI with breaking news and the headline was " 8 blasts rock Bangalore". Before I could click it disappeared and since then I have checked few news sites and there are no reports of such an event. I hope all is well and if it is then this is the lowest anybody can go to make 1 cent a click :mad:
bihutoli Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 No blasts mate... yet! Thanks for your concern though!
DomainK Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 No decent web site uses pop-ups for breaking news. Must be some kind of an ad.
Desi Cartman Posted December 3, 2010 Author Posted December 3, 2010 ^ i know and TOI has a lot of pop ups. it had appearance of drop down menu anyway its pretty cheap
Gunner_Mania Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 Always use pop up blocker and adblock plus for firefox or chrome.
DomainK Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 What a pop up to have' date=' effin douches[/quote'] They would do anything to get people to click on the ad. When you do, you might find that it's not about bomb blasts but some other kind of blast (music etc). Legally, they are doing fine, but their clients need to understand that these kind of campaigns do more harm than good.

ViruRulez Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 A few days ago I saw an advertise by in.com (Netowrk 18/ CNN IBN, Colors etc) where they advertised and invited people to play a game to free Kasab or hang him. I was like WTF. Money making is good and even I love or everyone of us like it but it seems many are forgetting basic human ethics and national pride nowadays in the hoard to make more and more money. All news websites and channels are becoming Peepli Live interested in TRP and money instead of real news and so I have really reduce watching news channels by a huge extent in the last one year or so.
