Wil has just started offering text ads on his website. I figured I would buy one just to see what happens. The click-through rate is incredible, compared to what I’ve read about most web advertising. At the moment, I’ve got a 6.94% clickthrough percentage, for 125 hits… and one comment left. Still, it’s pretty cool, and hopefully I’ll get a few more readers.

The House, in an overwhelming 400-21 vote, voted to overturn parts of the FCC’s new media deregulation rules. The vote specifically rolls back the part that would allow a single company to own television stations reaching 45% of the country. This number would be reduced to 35%, which is where it was prior to the FCC ruling. The Bush administration has threatened to veto the FCC funding bill that these rollbacks are attached to unless the language is changed and 45% number is allowed to stand. Hopefully, if we can get a similarly lopsided vote out of the Senate, the President will lose that veto power. At least we have some elected officials with some common sense.
