NO! of course not. thankyou, bye i think that advertisement is takeing over our lives…even in subtle ways!

It still is intrusive because it does create mini popups, but for sites that mention products, Texsy is more relevant than most ads. I'm also thinking about ways to improve the design of the ads. It's hard to come up with ideas for ads that people will like AND that direct marketers can actually use at the same time. I.e. creating a beautiful little movie with a story in it as a branded commercial on TV doesn't really scale for most marketers.
