There is a particularly annoying Google advert which pops up regularly
if you visit sites with OOo content - I'm sure you've seen it:
OpenOffice slow, bloated?
Abiword missing all the nice features?
I find this offensive, as it helps perpetuate the myth about OOo
performance. Now, I guess every time someone clicks on it, then the
advertiser has to pay some dollars to Google, and when the advertiser's
credit is exhausted, Google pulls the advert.
Just a thought

Really is our fault for not doing much 'think out of the box' like the
folks from abiword. For all our google links we could have had some
campaigns up on Google ads.
We did, at one point, a couple of years ago. A unnamed donor enabled us
to have a slew of ads for OOo. Didn't do much, which I guess is the
lesson of the Internet: it's a money drain for advertisers, funnelling
cash to Google.
Then I guess the folks at abiword are more succesful raising advertising
funds than us which is also another lesson to learn.
Amusingly, I see similar language here. Though I put together the ad
campaign and wrote the copy, still the templates were not unlike those
used by others.....
