There really isn't much real estate available in the application to do much in the way of skinning. As a general concept though I think it is a good idea. One thing that comes to mind is the companies that would offer free promotional themes for Xbox Live. .-= Kevin Bondelli´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/KevinBondelliYDBlog/~3/i5LcVQogSA4/" rel="nofollow">Manhattan Young Democrats in 2009: An Example of Great Online Video</a> =-.

With the flood of content constantly updating the last thing I need is a pandora-like, my-space-esque background that annoys and detracts from the task at hand. However, with such novelty, the advertising is for sure to work. Tyler is absolutely right.

Weatherbug has done something like this for a long time, the major difference being that Weatherbug makes you choose an interest (travel, sports, etc.) and then skins the widget according to the sponsor for that interest. Because I chose the vertical to be shown, it's about as targeted as it can get. Now, for Tweetdeck, it could get overwhelming if the execution isn't done well. There's already so much going on, that the design will be critical; it must complement, not compete with Tweetdeck's current functionality. See Myspace for the major fail example. .-= tyler´s last blog ..<a href="http://tylerhilker.com/post/140860541" rel="nofollow">my socks don't fit</a> =-.
