Personalized advertising on Findory
Greg Linden’s post about Findory’s new advertising engine is very interesting…the gist is that they are taking Adsenses’ contextual ad stock and targetting it even more using their own algorithm to identify user behaviour.
This is big. Adsense is generally pretty well targetted, but to improve on this is a grand achievement. Given the direct correlation [...]
Grafolicious: flickr: viewing http://delivr.net/
Check out this cool graphical representation of Delivr postings on Del.icio.us.
Pretty sweet, although looking at this I’d say Delivr has had its day with del.icio.us posts plateauing at 165.
More on Microformats
Eric Meyer has posted some nice examples of powerful uses for hCalendar.
And in reference to Eric’s post Andy Baio confirms that Upcoming will soon have full hCalendar support.
The ball is beginning to roll for these MicroFormats. If I were a blogware developer I would be baking this stuff right in there (Wordpress already does XFN). [...]
Contagious Media Showdown Stats
I wonder how the rankings table is being calculated for the Contagious Media Showdown?
I am not really worried about it, but I can’t work out where the number of “Unique Visitors” for each site is being pulled from. I would assume it was coming from the Webalizer stats, but apparently not because the ranking [...]
Another perspective on Adsense in RSS
Matt Haughey has jotted down some good thoughts on the subject of Adsense in RSS feeds. While he talks about Adsense specifically, his comments can be thought of generally in terms of advertising in feeds…
Haughey’s comments put a new perspective on it by looking at where his adsense revenue comes from…regular readers (more likely to [...]
I want my DTV
When the heck are free to air television stations in New Zealand going to start broadcasting digital signals (to everyone)?
Having experienced terrestrial digital in Australia I got a hankering for it…especially seeing as I have this coolio Topfield digital receiver/PVR sitting there doing nothing right now. I futz’d around for ages trying to get the [...]
Oh dear
UPDATE: nice one…the Flickr Search API seems to be back up so Delivr is rocking again.
UPDATE: Just got an email from the good folks at Flickr to let me know that the Search API is down for maintenance and will be back up tomorrow…and they like the site, yipeee, that means a lot. Now I [...]
CMS Update
Well, at the time of writing, Delivr is in the Contagious Media Showdown Top 10, but is well of the leaders pace. You gotta hand it to Blogebrity. What better way to get the a-listers to link to you than make a site about a-listers. Pure genius.
Still, it is early days and Delivr was always [...]
Enterprise Blogger
.flickr-photo { border: solid 1px #000000; }.flickr-frame { float: right; text-align: center; margin-left: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }
Enterprise Blogger, originally uploaded by mathowie.
Note to self, remember to check Flickr before making statements like “I’d be surprised if they did actually do something for enterprise…”. Who knew!
OK, this is it…
Ready or not I am stoked to unveil Delivr.
Delivr is a super simple service to create your own custom digital postcards. Obviously it is not the only site in the world to do this, but Delivr is unique in a few ways:
It is powered by the Flickr API, so the number of images available is [...]
