Hardly surprising it took AOL so long where you consider their feeble

advertising. Demon is as bad with their crap@advertising campaign. The best

thing about Freeserve's approach (and Tesco ) is they they are breaking the

prejudice that the Internet is for Tefal-heads and concentrating instead on

creating an offer for ordinary people. Tesco are doing it by offering

Internet in a friendly package, Freeserve by offering it FOC.


I don't know if free access paid for by advertising will work, but if it

gets more people used to the idea of the Internet it will be worth the

experiment.


On the subject of ordinary people, why are there not any decent sites of any

size aimed at women in the UK?

buying your own web advertising is like pick-your-own strawberries - a great

way to waste a day for people who have nothing better to do
