Can you believe that as of today the string “collaborative adblock” yields no hits on Google ? For now there is the centraly managed list of blockable advertisement at yoyo.org. Conversion scripts make the list available in a large number of popular ad blocking formats and there is even an Adblock filterset updater available for it as a Mozilla extension. You can submit your own items, that is a start. But wouldn’t a truly distributed collaborative peer to peer sharing of Adblock items be staggeringly more powerful ? Something made robust with a reputation system… Let’s seed the meme !

What a great concept! It’s very Web 2.0’ish and now would be the time for an idea like this to mature. Here’s another one: the string “social adblocking” yields no results from Google either.
