Yeesh.

Sounds like there is a story behind that. A horrible, HORRIBLE story.

Definitely worth notifying the guilds over, too.

Love and agree with it all except for the bit about video advertising. Your example may be a little bit extreme. I don't mind the pre-rolls because most of the video lengths (like the excellent 3 Minute Ad Ages) make the ratio acceptable.

Maybe instead of losing the video advertising they should just put a bit more thought/effort into it?

It's totally up to every publisher. If you think it's useful, then go for it! The linkees will love it, love the shoutout and the link love and so forth.

And you're right, they may go retro-kitsch anytime now, maybe you'll help kick in the re-trend! :-)

I do think it needs to be considered on a case-by-case basis. If your audience isn't particularly tech savvy then a blogroll is probably still warranted.

This post was well timed. We were just discussing whether to add one to one of our blogs.

Besides, I'm hoping they become retro-kitsch soon. Like Guest books. Let's see some ironic guest books. :)
