And now a Tweet from our sponsors

We're experimenting with a new type of ad on the site -- probably hard to miss the large red box in the sidebar of CHS. Look right! Or there's a screen grab at the bottom of this post for you RSS types. The concept is pretty simple. We feature the latest Tweets from our sponsors in a message box on CHS pages. It's another way we connect the local businesses and organizations of Capitol Hill with the people who live here and love it.

We're still working on the concept -- for one, we plan to adjust the 'share of voice' to feature more sponsors if one happens to be especially chatty. The system could also be the foundation for sharing Tweets from all of the CHS community on the site.

Feel free to leave feedback on this thread or drop us a mail to let us know what you think. To advertise on the site, check out our self-serve ad wizard or call (206) 399-5959. All CHS sponsors will be included in the Recent Tweets box for now. We're also looking at the biz end of this feature to figure out best way to make it part of financially supporting our site.

I hope this isn't a trend that will go very far.
I read this blog fairly often because it is information-heavy.
When it becomes ad-heavy, I am gone.
Loving it so far,
Ross

RE: your tweets
Always looking for balance, Ross. Ads and sponsorship are the only way this site survives.
