Have you ever noticed that when Mixi changes their top page advertisement your auto login suddenly doesn’t work? Usually if you check the “automatically log me in next time” checkbox when you login, on the next visit you jump directly to your profile page. But whenever they have a new sponsor they change something in the cookie which forces you to login AGAIN. While this only happens about once a week, I find this low-level tactic rather irritating. I suppose when they first designed Mixi they didn’t expect it to become as popular as it is and failed to plan for where and how to embed advertising into the system. At least the amount of ads in your face are still rather low and not all over the place or in the middle of your blog post like in other free blog/SNS systems. But then again, I have ads all over my blog posts so who am I to criticize! ;-P
Asoboo is pretty light on the ads…
