Would you buy Facebook stock?

02 Nov

Posted by Andy Brudtkuhl under Business, Technology, Web

As everyone is clamoring over Google’s OpenSocial initiative and how these social networks are going to war, an intersting point bubbled up from investor and board member of Facebook Jim Breyer.

“No IPO until 2009 at the earliest”

Read Facebook VC: No Rush for More $$, Would Work W/Google

Whaaaat?!? IPO? Are you kidding me? The only thing good that can come of this is Facebook having to open up its books to show everyone that it is not worth anything near $15 billion (or if they make any profit at all). And by that time the bubble will have burst.

IPO… you gotta be kidding me…

Feedburner Ads A Disappointment

02 Nov

Posted by Andy Brudtkuhl under Web

Logging into FeedBurner yesterday in hopes they would have finally added the much anticipated AdSense support I found myself disappointed. You may have noticed recently that Pheedo ads are appearing in this RSS feed. We did this to cover hosting costs only, I assure you. But as an AdSense and FeedBurner user I had hoped this new integration would be for advertising within my RSS feed so I can get rid of Pheedo and have an integrated experience.

Unfortunately this is not the case as FeedBurner launches a confusing advertising platform that is exactly the same as copy and pasting AdSense into an existing webpage. This move makes absolutely no sense other than Google must have told them they need to integrate as soon as possible.

If I were you, I’d stay away from the “monetize” tab in FeedBurner until they figure out that we want AdSense in our RSS feed (something not yet available) not just rehashing an existing service that we already know how to use. Not to mention the service is very buggy and seems not thought out in any way.

nice{stylesheet;}

I just wanted to point out that our friend over at RandomJabber just launched nice{stylesheet;}. It is a gallery showcasing fresh CSS inspiration. I like how he chunked it into categories such as “fixed layout” “two columns” etc… Very handy. If you think your site has what it takes, go submit your site.

And go over and read RandomJabber for great insights on design and the business. Especially this great article.
