Truth In Advertising?
Advert on Edge's twitpic page
I have been thoroughly enjoying seeing the tour through Edge’s Blackberry with all of his subtle nuances and unique perspective on the world. It’s been fun keeping up with it all.
I know that users can’t control what advert pops up on their twitpic page, but I found this to be ironic - Ticketmaster’s TicketsNow inviting you to purchase U2 tickets. This would make it seem like U2 (or Edge himself) may be promoting the TicketsNow service.
When I clicked on another photo, the ad changed to a television show, a lose weight without dieting website, and then a hair therapy shampoo. Now, if I were to use the same mentality of “hey, Edge must be promoting this…” then it would be very odd to have him promoting a dieting site or a hair therapy shampoo. Instead, a hat company would be far more likely, wouldn’t it? I’m having flashbacks to “Even Better Than The Real Thing” at the moment!
By the way, in my every-so-often check of Ticketmaster, you can still pull tickets in very large blocks for Raleigh, Atlanta, Tampa, and a few other Southern states. (For those keeping track).
