How's Your E-Learning

Interesting article, worth a quick read in its own right, but I must confess I was much more intrigued by the new advertising technique used by Syllabus here - the magazine has embedded 'sponsored links' in the text of the article, which when you hover over them, deliver annoying CSS pop-ups and (presumably) link to a sponsor page. The links have their own colour - a dark green on this screen - and can't really be confused with regular links (not that Syllabus ever bothers with regular links anyways). But I think that putting a sponsored link in the 'about the author' section at the bottom of the page is a bit much. Authors may question whether they want the advertising to take all the notice in the body of their articles.
