Summary:


This article talks about a new button named Readability on the Web browser’s toolbar which can eliminate useless things from the web pages when the reader is reading, it aslo can change the font, size and background. The author thought that he don’t like to see the Times-Square blinking when he was reading, but some resmarks doubt about his thought. So author explained that first the button need to be clicked and then worked, second he thought the advertisers should be appeared in the first place, and just click refresh the page to turn back to original. And Readability has more function than ad blocker.

Reaction:

I have the same experience with the author, when I was reading the Web page, some advertisement get out and influence my reading. It was very irritating, and I also use some Web page tools to eliminate the trouble makers. But acturally I thought the reason is not here, the Web makers should consider about the readers situation and make some progress.

As the author said, Web makers should put a fixed place to show the advertisement. Like before the main article, in the top of the page or in the end of the page, also liftside or rightside could be a good choice. If the put the ads everywhere in the article, the reader should turn up or turn down the page and it is very unconveninet. The next idea is the creativers really don’t need to make the ads so complex. Like the bliking, animating and distracting. Maybe they thought it could make the ads more attractive. But if they change the role and become a reader. They will understand the reader couldn’t pay much attentation on their product except they really need. In the same time, the ads make a lot of trouble for reader like somebody careless and click it, it turn on a new Web page immediately. It really makes reader feel boring.

The Web page company rely on the ads to earn money and amount of clicking. But the essence is the more good content the page has, the more visitor it will has. So just make a comfortable reading environment for readers. I think the reader could be more approciate about it and also has the good impression on the Web page.
