I understand the value of the interstitial ad. They’re good ways of making a boatload of cash. They’re just also really, really good at making your readers a little pissy. Which is probably why we don’t have them anywhere near Metblogs. That doesn’t explain why I got an interstitial ad this morning when I dialed up washingtonpost.com. Seriously, isn’t the idea that the front page is a “free zone” and that interstitial ads only really apply after the front page?
What’s going on here, WaPo?

I live and work in the District of Columbia. I write at We Love DC, a blog I helped start, I work at Technolutionary, a company I helped start, and I’m happy doing both. I enjoy watching baseball, cooking, and gardening. I grow a mean pepper, keep a clean scorebook, and wash the dishes when I’m done. Read Why I Love DC.
