Ad Supported Eudora

Overhype

from the new-business-models dept

Thu, Dec 9th 1999 12:43pm — Mike Masnick
Qualcomm, who makes the popular Eudora email program (and, no, I've never understood how this fits in with the rest of their business), has decided to do away with the free "light" version of their program and instead offer a free full featured version - that will show ads while being used. It makes some sense to do so, but I'm still not sure how it will work. It probably depends on how intrusive the ads seem.

    No Subject Given

    efax does this fairly unobtrusively with their client -- or should I say ineffectively.

    Item for your next survey: when was the last time you clicked on a banner? What was it for?
