The same is already true for any content that is consumed via an RSS reader.
And a fair number of blogs (e.g., Lifehacker) now embed ads in their RSS
feeds. I think we're going to see a lot more of this sort of thing.

One major disadvantage of CLI's is the lack of
Okay, there is a right-click menu, but apparently it isn't

This is purely personal, no research, but I have noticed this on a few

Can you describe the users? If they are not particularly web savvy, it may be
worth pursuing your gut feeling on this. I don't know specifically of any

depending on the website, content, and visitors in question - be a bit
cautious with changing the url. As a countermeasure to phishing
