Desperate advertisers to slow down your email, web browsing.
According to Online Media Daily, Turner Broadcasting is also using the system to advertise the NBA playoffs, and a major concert promoter plans to use it to drive traffic to its shows. While the concept is not new, internet service providers have heretofore refused such traffic for fear of viruses and such. Goodmail has solved this problem. (Disclosure: CertifiedVideo is currently available only at AOL, although the company claims it will soon have agreements with many other ISPs. While DailyFinance.com is an AOL site, I don”t have anything to do with the ad part of the business.)

Another new pitch to expect is the insertion of video clips between internet pages. If you click on a ‘read more’ button or other link within a domain, for example, a 15-second ad for Wolverine or Cialis might play before the next page would load.more
