Google is still the reigning champion of monetizing the internet. With it's firm hold on the search advertising niche and ever increasing variety of keyword based ad content types, the search giant looks like it will hold the crown for a while. Cementing that theory is today's announcement that its popular Adsense revenue program will now be offered in your RSS feeds, a service that has been touted as "on its way" on the Feedburner site for months.

If you are anything like me, RSS feeds are a constant part of your daily life. I use them for a variety of things from finding news for work to tracking my own and others' writing online. I even have my daily agenda and television shows in RSS feeds to remind me of various tasks and alert me to new shows. RSS applications have been cropping up everywhere lately as more and more people are using them [...]

As a newly launched directory of blogs, Blogged.com is aiming to not only provide visitors with links to thousands of interesting blogs, but to be a “blog discovery and exploration tool supported by a network that connects bloggers with readers.” Having just publicly launched two days ago (February 25, 2008) the database of more than 200,000 blogs of various categories is already impressive in size.
Where most blog search tools use tags and keywords to find individual posts within blogs, Blogged [...]

I tend to keep my eye on about a dozen or so feeds (gathered by Google Reader, if you’re curious to know) every day in order to scrounge up enough fodder for my posts here at Profy. (Si, soy un moocher.) Some of course receive more attention than others.
Case in point: I passed over my subscription to CNET’s Tech News Blog for the first couple of days of the week, and in so doing, missed quite a delectable piece [...]

MoFuse, short for mobile fusion is a new kid on the block when it comes to RSS feeds on your mobile phone. MoFuse founded in July 2007 released its first private beta in the late part of September 2007.
The idea behind MoFuse is to allow, as it so boldly states, “content publishers to create RSS driven mobile sites and gives our users the ability to control almost every aspect of the design using some of our AJAX features”, and [...]

The mobile web is quickly surging in popularity, as the recent launch of AdSense for Mobile and resumed Firefox mobile development have shown.
FeedM8, a unique service that converts RSS feeds into a mobile-friendly format, is now the latest to experience the rush to go mobile first-hand, having announced that its publisher network has seen a massive increase in member sites, having added 1,000 new websites within the last 30 days alone.
The Toronto-based company officially launched the service in August [...]

First, let me point out that there is in fact a difference – a big difference - between censoring the Web and shutting it down completely (or at least a portion of it), as has been done in Myanmar, or Burma, as it is more familiarly known. Yet I think you’ll agree that both measures can be very impactful.

A fantastic new communications interface called Pronto! just emerged from the secret vault of CommuniGate. Pronto! is being unveiled today in Chicago at Adobe Max - the premier experience for Adobe users worldwide. Pronto is a RIA net communications dashboard that quite honestly blew me away. A good friend (Brian Blank of Future-Works) sent us a sneak peek at this refreshing tool that combines email, calendaring, IM, media player and even web/blog editing software in a tight package. Before you [...]
