love the latest post re our ad network…not a bad set of relationships and the inventory is definitely headed in the right direction ;)
and, adotas’ take on our release isn’t bad:
RSS feed management and advertising company FeedBurner has increased its customer base by 300% over the past six months, giving feed advertisers more than enough blog, news and website feeds to play with this holiday season.
very quick overview of our relaxing thanksgiving wknd…
frank (somewhat frank) pointed me to aol’s latest myaol release. they’ve started to add features to their beta aggregator and it appears that content recommendations made the first cut…
this is great..while i love rss, we’re all going to need effective filters and discovery tools…
first miller, then ross, and now yahoo (sue, brad, and publishers)…
wow…wonder what’s going to happen this week…
yahoo bought bix today (congrats!)…and, in the nytimes article there was this nugget:
Mike Speiser, chief executive of Bix.com, said he had had discussions with media companies about using the site to screen participants for reality television shows. Mr. Speiser will become vice president for community at Yahoo.
guess mike (cofounder of epinions) is brian bowman’s replacement…interesting that he’s coming in from the outside.
btw, the reuters article said that he’d also own yahoo photos…
yahoo demoed their email/IM integration at web2 this morning…very very cool as it promises to make real-time communication simple and easy…it brings web-based IM to everyone and has great “hot swapping” of conversations…
this is a big deal as it (along with RSS) turns yahoo mail into a true start experience - far more useful than your typical desktop email app…
congrats to ethan, brad, and everyone at yahoo mail/im…
on monday, nielsen released data on growth in web 2.0 sites…and, feedburner is leading the pack - 385% y/y…wish i could get my hands on the presentation…
here’s a nice post on the data…
Nielsen, partnered with NetRatings, released data that showed Web 2.0 ahead of all other sites, save for the strongest and most prolific of search engines - yeah, guess which one that is. Anyway, I was somewhat struck by the news, and not because of the fact that The New York Times wasn’t the destination of billions. Rather, the growth spurts didn’t seem to correlate with media buzz very well.
We all know Digg has been bookmarked in more installations of Firefox, Opera, Safari, and (cough) IE (cough) than actual people roaming our dear friend Earth (Please don’t try to discount me on this one. You’ll only take away my thunder.), but did it occur to any of you that Feedburner, with a record 385% rise in usage, made Digg’s 286% look downright paltry? OK, maybe not paltry, but you get the gist.
Myspace trailed Digg with 170% year-on-year growth, followed close behind by Wikipedia and Facebook, at 161% and 134%, respectively.
fox interactive media officially launched their springwidgets platform today…and, we’ve partnered to deliver publisher branded RSS widgets.
please see FIM’s press release and our blog post…
all i have to say is this is very cool…here’s my feed in a widget (with a small picture…it can be larger and cover the entire header)…
so, go ahead…burn a feed, brand a widget and embed it on myspace or wherever.
more to come…
for all you feed fans out there…the ie7 auto-update just started (and firefox 2.0 launched last week)…we’ll see what happens :)
rick…thanks for pointing this out
