- EJTower, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2no no, every place is to be cluttered with ads! no pardons for small screens. Soon their master plan will be complete. Adwords on cellphones, Adwords on billboards, Adwords on the backs of milkcontainers.... Muahhahahahahaha!

(sorry i was feeling silly) - jmazzi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3If you don't wanna see the ads, then don't use google. Google is a corporation in business to make money. :)
- carguy84, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Innaccurate title, google's been showing ads on their search results for a least a year. What's new is that adwords advertisers can now select whether or not they want their ad showing.
Chip- - Vindstille, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I don't think its a bad thing if they just have one or two text-ads appearing on each page.
- sulaco, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2As if my "high speed" data plan needs any more crap to download.
- EJTower, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2no no, every place is to be cluttered with ads! no pardons for small screens. Soon their master plan will be complete. Adwords on cellphones, Adwords on billboards, Adwords on the backs of milkcontainers.... Muahhahahahahaha!
- dharm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8thats added bytes to pay for, for the people who dont have unlimited mobile data plans
- mobilehavoc, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Maybe you'll get coupons to use on Google checkout...
- drakethegreat, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2That title seems a little redundant, it could just be, "Google adds Adwords to US modible search service"
- livesNbox, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I think he was possibly going for a metaphor...
Maybe one day we'll have adwords INSIDE of other adwords :)

- jasepower, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2We should digg this story just to hear Kevin or Alex say "adds AdWords ads" on the next diggnation after a few beers.
- abid786, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hopefully it won't be the first story... If so then hope they start drinking before the show :)
- neophit, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Does anyone else not see the number of diggs for this post on the main page?
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a279/neophit/NoDigg.jpg - jesusphreak, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16Another one of digitalgopher's posts. He's had what, 20 of the last 60? I've been doing a little research, and it appears that digitalgopher and several of the other top digg users regularly Digg each others stories, and vice versa. If you look at his submissions virtually the same group of people will digg them. I wrote an article about it. If interested in getting this problem noticed, please digg it.

P.S. Not trying to spam Digg with my blog, but until Digg creates a "general" forum, there's no other way. - mb3581, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I think a general forum would be an awesome idea. There are things that could be discussed that is not really relevant to the story being commented on, such as this comment. A general forum would be a great way to expand the community aspect of digg.
- headzoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"I think a general forum would be an awesome idea."
Me too. I would even settle for an unofficial forum, as long as everyone is using it.
