Google is not that evil, is it?

I have thrown away the ads from my blog;  not only for some of the reasons exposed on my previous post, but also because I came across, first, with a ridiculous ad that made me blush (something in the way of “Defeat the frat boy -drink more beers and get a free ring-tone”, really,  shame on them) and, second, with a really interesting post from Penelope Trunk’s blog that faced me with the harsh truth of reality.

Nevertheless, and not leaving Penelope’s blog, I found some relief to the anger I felt about the rough slap in the face her reality check felt like, reading about the reasons why I do must own a blog; and those are precisely (although I may not had ever formalize them so clearly in my mind, I did have the feeling blogging could bring such a collection of benefits) the ones that pushed me to create and maintain a blog.

Those are the reasons, and not the irritating presence of vulgar ads totally unrelated to the contents of the blog, wrapping my posts and annoying my guests.
