    SD Times[^]:

    According to a new report from SOASTA, 85% of respondents found third-party features annoying, and three in four respondents preferred unpleasant activities over third-party features.

    Yup. (Once I figured out what third-party features were)

      85% sounds a bit low.

        We are transitioning away from the Customer-End User paradigm to a paradigm where the customer is something entirely different than the end user. Governments and Corporations will become customers and vendors of eachother, but to the end users the product is free, because they themselves are the product.

          The other 15% were just annoyed.

            Ironic that when viewing that page, I got interrupted by a third-party "pop-up" (not really a pop-up) blocking the whole page until I closed with it.

              Or just didn't understand what was annoying them.

                Yup. SD Times definitely does their part to be as annoying as possible with those.

                  Yes, I stop clicking on some stuff that looks interesting because it just takes too much time. Have done these quizzes and it is just ridiculous. One of the reasons I really liked the idea of Silverlight was that it should have sped up browsing since processing can be local, and all that is needed is to send data back and forth once loading of the app was done.

                    Users find one another annoying. Each denotes they "feel used".
