Who is Kona Kontera?

Kontera is the Israeli company responsible for all the vile and intrusive ContentLink™ ads that ruin the pages of TZone unless you install NoScript, a Firefox add-on to block them all out:

"Kontera is a leading provider of In-Text contextual advertising and information services based on patent-pending technology that maximizes relevancy and yield for online advertisers, publishers, and users.

The company’s flagship product, ContentLink™, identifies contextually relevant keywords on a publisher’s webpage in real-time and automatically matches them to relevant ads and information. Kontera's ad network encompasses thousands of publishers using ContentLink ads on websites, forums and blogs, for generating revenues from their content while providing relevant ads and information to their users.

Leading international advertisers in a broad range of product categories benefit from improved ROI on their Pay per Click Advertising Campaigns with Kontera's ContentLinks. Kontera ensures optimal relevancy between ads and users' online experience by serving ads and information that suit the user's frame of mind.

Kontera´s Online Advertising Program is based on advanced patent-pending technology which enables real-time analysis of static or dynamic content. The company has developed proprietary semantic, statistical, linguistic, and yield maximization algorithms, which analyze content, select keywords and then match them to the most relevant contextual ads and information. Kontera's competitive edge and ability to best serve its partners stems from its advanced technology, wide range of eminent advertisers, vast network of publishers, and years of experience in the In-Text Advertising market.

Kontera was founded in 2003 by co-founders Yoav Shaham, Assaf Henkin, and Henit Vitos with the vision of providing relevant information to users at the point of context. Kontera is a privately held company backed by Sequoia Capital, Lehman Brothers and Carmel Ventures, with offices in San Francisco, California New York, New York and Herzliya, Israel. "

Stella- Thank you

Stella,

If you are still following this silly link: Thank you I've installed noscript and it has been very cool in getting rid of unwanted ads. But, (and this is a very small complaint) no I can't seem to use the formatting, (e.g. bold, italicise, ect.) or emoticons.

Then again, I have been wondering for some time what harm the use of emoticons might be doing to my soul (not to mention my writing style) Laughs out Loud...
