Catbird and Advertising
Good afternoon, Mr. Catbird! Seems that these guys also enjoy the jelly.
See the full-size picture here.
So much for the bird-related fun... Occasionally in this blog, we actually get serious about stuff, and this is one of those times...
I took this job a couple of years ago with the understanding that these posts weren't simply going to be thinly-veiled advertisements. Since then, I've posted some 250+ entries, and a careless sawyer can count on one hand the number of times I've "pushed" a product. That being said, eBirdseed.com is a business, and advertising of one sort or another is required. And now, in some small way, I'm involved in the process. I bring this up not as a warning that this blog is going to change, because it isn't. It's still going to be birds, birds, and more birds with brief respites for other insanity like this.
Nope, we are not changing this blog, but I am going to bring this full circle and gripe about Internet Advertising in general. Look... As you're reading this, you're probably pretty Internet savvy. And if you're like me, you order a lot of stuff off the Web. Why oh why oh why is it so difficult to find what we want and need in the electronic ether? Granted, about 85% of searches will turn up what you're looking for using a decent query. But that other 15% will just drive a person nuts. (How many times have the wife and I shlumped with head in hands, and pleaded to some murky vendor behind the flat screen... Look, all I'm trying to do is give you my money... Why are you making this so difficult?!?
Anyway... We're trying to make sure that we don't fall into that forlorn 15%... So let's be clear...

Anyway... See you by those "Mad Ave" feeders,
