In this case it is more about engaging in dialogue with a community which has piqued Zoho's interest. The other thing is that it's my contention that we're less likely to criticise the product of an advertiser than we are of a silent sponsor - just my view though 2) Because we're sick to death of being harrangued by blogs with advertising, popups, banners etc. We believe that we are creating a much more high-brow offering that isn't tainted by advertising. We feel there is a credibility that comes with being independent 3) Absolutely - it'll be up on Monday (PST - so Tuesday NZST) @Miki

I am interested in a couple of things 1. Why do you consider sponsorship to not be an ad? Isn't it pretty much an exclusive ad? 2. Why is being ad-free important to you and your customer base. This is a genuine questions 3. Will you publish your manifesto so we can get a handle on what your purpose is Looking forward to Monday! Nice one!I am sure you will generate heaps of traffic!
