New sources (and old) of online ad serving….ALL CHANGE

I have been watching the online ad serving market quietly for a while and just read from Sam Sethi the not-so-secret rumour that Google is to buy Feedburner.

As a Typepad / 6Apart user, I’ve been on Feedburner for a while…. advantages you can read without adverts.  Now this will shortly be gone… if Google starts serving its own adverts down the Feedburner pipe.

How do you feel about getting ads with blog news?  I read on Bloglines to avoid it… BUT the other day, working with Buffalo Communications, I noticed that there were no adverts on the key blogs for their sector (outsourcing) being served with PR offerings…. a great opportunity for them.

So maybe I will become immune to adverts in YET another medium.
