Wow, those canvas ads are incredibly annoying. I accidentally clicked a Hootsuite advertisement by accident when visiting this article. Absolutely horrible and people wonder why a lot of web users block ads. How about instead of clinging to an antiquated business model of advertising sites like TNW try something new?

I don't think advertising is a antiquated but banners are. We are trying something new and this is it. It's new and needs to be fine-tuned but we hope it will be less annoying than seeing banners all over a page. Give us another chance or at least keep an open mind.
