When Yahoo announced their Finance modules, I was concerned that they would someday start tossing in unwanted advertising.
Clearly, there is no advertising on this widget today, other than links to other Yahoo properties. And Iâm fine with that. But I have a feeling that the space at the bottom might be allocated for future ads.Today, Yahoo has issued a call for guinea pigs to test their new “advertising options” in these same modules. I am not impressed.
Google launched a pinging service for their blog search today. Much like Ping-o-matic, the service allows bloggers to inform the world of new content. This is the first time, however, that we have been able to directly alert Google that a site has been updated. It will be interesting to see how this is used by the SEO crowd.
