Saturday Edition
"Ready. Fire! Aim." is one of Tom's favorite mantras. In that spirit, we've been experimenting with advertising at the TP Wire Service. We've also considered and researched it for this site. The results have underwhelmed us. We removed the ads from the TP Wire Service RSS feeds yesterday and will be removing the ads from the TP Wire Service home page in the near future. Tompeters.com will remain ad-free. (Mail to: feedback (at) tpwireservice (dot) com.) We welcome your thoughts on the subject. Here's to "Relentless Experimentation!"

"Relentless Experimentation" YES - right up there with "Devour It" ... and a perfect way to legitimize radical quirky & bizarre behavior.

... premium only ads: Lexus, Rolex, Ritz-Carlton, Cirque, Accenture ... make the tompeters.com brand a shameless shill for profit & find that nobody notices.

why, exactly, where you experimenting with it?... what was it that you were trying to achieve?... what were the results of the experiment?... what criteria were you using for 'success'?

"Wet & Windy,"
We were simply curious about advertising. That's the main reason for our experimentation. Instead of just asking around about possible revenue, we thought prototyping would be more accurate. What we discovered was that it wasn't much, certainly not enough to make it worth the bother or to justify the interruption (in the feeds) to our readers.

I'm afraid this is off subject. Is it possible to forward one blog to an individual? Several times a subject is so relevant to a problem someone is facing, like today's 220 different teams. We might capture a customer for life for TP because of one blog sent at the right time. Just a thought.
