Performancing launches ad creation tool – who will use it?

Apparently there are people using Performancing that need tools to make an ad to run in the Partners-network (125×125 pixel buttons), that’€™s according to Chris Garrett’€™s post. So Performancing launches Easy Ads, an online tool that makes image ads with a hover effect and all.

Sounds good? Well, it isn’€™t. Don’€™t get me wrong, it works and all, but making an ad consisting of border, background and text color, one font, one positioning and, err, that’€™s it. It looks like shit.

Impressed? Neither am I. Easy Ads might be better in the future, but at the moment you’€™re better off downloading The Gimp, Paint.NET or any other free image software. I can assure you that it’€™s just as simple to make a lousy ad there, as it is in this lame excuse of a tool.
