Content creators hate it, too. Even more than users. Many feel very
strongly that it is a form of stealing content from their site. See
Josh's comment re: fat advertising bellies above. It is easy to see
why content producers hate it.

3. How do people feel about these headers? Are they helpful or intrusive?
Some people feel VERY strongly that this technique fundamentally rots the
web by introducing new and bad URLs for content. There was a big row about
this technique this spring. Gruber led the charge, but its worth poking
Plus those bars could easily add script so when a user browses around,
the bar gets the new Url and sends it back to their HQ. I can see some

other site inside your own website using IFRAME. you can test it
yourself. Its a very simple technique.
