IntelliTXT?


Recommended Posts

Has anyone else been seriously po'ed by IntelliTXT? :angry:

You can see it in use on sites like W2S and TechConnect. It takes "Keywords" from an article you are reading, and turns them into a hyperlink, linking that word to an advertiser. I know you can turn it off on most pages, but I still think its a backwards attempt at getting your attention :crazy:

See attached screenie:

Now this is nothing against Neowin, or it's policies, but:

HOW TO STOP IT:

Add "127.0.0.1 itxt.vibrantmedia.com" to your hosts file.

Looks like I need to make another donation though, since it's been a while since my last. ;)

Donate is in the upper-right corner:

Please don't ask me why that doesn't work for you. Any problems with your hosts file can be taken care of here:
