    You don't watch TV, do you?

    It's a company that sells ringtones and backgrounds for phones. Their advertisements are:

    1) everywhere.
    2) annoying as hell.

    Imagine a corporation that feeds off human souls. Now add blue things with testicles and fluffy baby chickens.

    Voila, Jamster!

    Also, Trillian for the win, as they say.

    Personally, I always perceived Xfire as always going the route of the ad bloated program that everyone hates, which had potential (see: kazaa).

    And thankfully, we don't have Jamster in Canada, never seen their ads, woooo.

    No TV or radio means I don't have to experience the pain of jamster ads. However, spring break was enough time for me to be thoroughly annoyed with them.

    X-Fire has always been a welcome program on my system. I especially like the way you can download patches through it. I don't mind the odd banner advert or two, as long as it doesn't placing unwanted links etc on my desktop. I'll uninstall it if it uses that Jamster ad that plays the "Crazy Frog" ringtone when your mouse accidently goes over it. (You don't even have to click it!)
    God. Thats. Tedious. (I stopped using Dark-Throne because of it.)


    Still, X-Fire is great at the moment.

    From what I understand, Jamster uses poor advertisements and the cover of selling cell phone downloads to somehow lure people into an obvious scam. (The fine print takes up like 1/3 of the screen on the TV commercials).

    EDIT - Added the missing quote!

    I feel much the same way with it, despite it being a rather useful program. It's the advertisement screens that do it for me. Other messenger programs that have inline advertisements (like... well, almost all of them except Trillian) have made me nervous as well.

    There can be a point in a ring tone if you work some where where you need it ie noisy and unfortunaty ring tones and games etc. are worth some thing like 3 million not sure if its per month of year might be month and thats uk only
