Distastful Advertising Continues: "Gatoring"

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the do-i-taste-arsenic-in-the-water dept.

iforgotmyfirstlogon sent us a link to an article on CNet about Gatoring, a fabulous new advertising technique where advertising buy key words and pop up windows over competitors. The kicker is that this is a byproduct of a commonly installed activex plugin. And its only gonna get worse.

    It's called gatoring because it's usually done through an ActiveX plugin distributed by Gator.com.
