So CancelAds launched a day ago and is already generating some buzz. I wanted to thank everyone who has been talking about CancelAds over these hours, in particular the awesome bloggers who have chosen to cover our launch on their blogs:

Allen Stern of CenterNetworks has published a great review of CancelAds and his readers are now engaged in a very interesting conversation in the comments section.

Jolie O’Dell of ReadWriteWeb has published a very interesting review of CancelAds discussing our target audience and chances of people actually subscribing and paying for ad-free browsing.

Steven Finch of Crenk asks an interesting question whether CancelAds is actually generating a new revenue stream for bloggers or simply redistributing the money that are already in the advertising industry. My own answer is that we are offering a way to attract money directly from readers and users, not from advertisers as it currently is but this is definitely a question worth answering anyway.

KillerStartups is also positive but they ask questions as well like where CancelAds will be growing and expanding. For now let me just tell you that we have more plans than we can possibly develop right away for our beta launch as the road map is huge and during the first day people have already suggested many new features that have now been added to the road map as well.

And it is really a pleasure to hear numerous comments from people on Twitter (follow CancelAds on Twitter) and FriendFeed (CancelAds on FriendFeed), especially since many people think that the idea behind CancelAds is very interesting and promising. But of course the real pleasure is our very first publishers - I will share some names in a subsequent post over the next few days. Please, do not hesitate to share your own opinion on CancelAds in any manner you choose - on your blog, on Twitter, on FriendFeed or anywhere else, we are definitely listening!
