Submission + - Skype to Feature Giant Ads (arstechnica.com) 1
benfrog writes: "Microsoft is inserting a new "feature" into Skype calls. Giant ads. They are actually calling them "Conversation ads" because they hope the ads (as large as the picture of the person that you are talking to) will 'spark additional topics of conversation that are relevant to Skype users and highlight unique and local brand experiences.' The ads, of course, are tailored to each individual user and the opt-out process is less than easy."
