It’s time for the loosely termed “weekly web news roundup” here. I love my Google Reader but there’s just so many sources I’ve subscribed to, that I can’t realistically as much as skim over more than 2-3 days worth of headlines.
Speaking of which, Google Reader now lets you subscribe to pages that don’t have RSS feeds. Just enter any URL and it will keep track of the page for you and report any changes. Pretty cool, I think.
Online Advertising News
WebmastersWorld is undoubtedly a great resource and arguably the best webmasters board around. It’s often too busy, so I like to keep track of it by following the seroundtable.com site. This week they review an interesting thread about the things that bother Google Adsense Publishers. Well worth a read.
Still on Google advertising, browsing from your phone, you can actually click on a Google ad and it will connect you to the advertiser via the phone. It’s an interesting twist that could potentially effect affiliate marketing because, once on the phone, referring sites have no way of tracking sales. You can read more about this new feature here: Google Introduces Click-To-Call Numbers In Ads.
The iPad. Sigh.
Sigh – because it’s was ALL OVER the RSS feeds this week. iPad this and iPad that. Everybody seems to have something to say about iPad, don’t they? Well, I think Hitler summed it up best in The Meme That Will Never Die: Hitler Debunks The iPad.
And on a Lighter Note
I just LOVED this one:
Travel Site Kayak Sells Seats On Lost’s Oceanic Flight 815
Search Kayak for flights from Sydney’s SYD airport to Los Angeles’s LAX and you’ll see that Oceanic Flight 815 — the very one that crashed on the mysterious island in the first episode of Lost — is one of your options.
What a brilliant publicity stunt for Lost. I tried finding the flight myself on Kayak but failed. If you can find it, let me know.

Hey Anne!
Thanks for reaccquainting me with the Hitler meme. I saw it configured for the Kanye West and Taylor Swift debacle and it was freakin’ hilarious.
Now, about te REAL movie Downfall – do you know anything about it…Of course, we’ll probably never be abloe to watch the REAL movie in a theatre – everyone will wonder why we’re laughing out oud at one of the most intense parts of the entire movie…
Oh well, it was worth the laugh!
Thanks! And thanks for commenting on my blog recently!
Cheers!

You’re absolutely right – watching that bit in the movie will be so weird now! Not that I was ever likely to watch a WW2 movie in German to begin with – but that’s probably just me.
