also search engines (because the big shops keep an eye on what you were looking for on google when you came through to their site). Good idea ashes its my thought that they know we're here...have seen the invitations to come on thread...but that they''re in talks. They're very careful about their image....they want to be seen as pro feminist but not TOO pro feminist. They're also afraid of damaging their relationships with their big advertisers....after all...if MN earn x amount from retailers of toys...and they happen to be on our "hit list" then MN could end up losing money. That's possibly why they're taking so long. Be interesting to have a quick check on the advertisers on MN right now...to see if they''re among the worst offenders or not. It's a service which Google offer to websites: websites can use their search for free (I assume) as long as they're happy to tolerate the google ads on the top. It's a money-maker for google of course, and a way for websites to get a decent search for free. The pink bit at the top is paid-for ads (and it effectively costs the advertisers money every time you click on one). It's the same when you use google search: the ads at the top (and on the side) are paid ads. Off topic, but incidentally, did you know that if you use Gmail, Google reads your emails, and then targets you with ads (on Gmail, but also across the internet)
