Quick Thought On Exchange (from: Alex)

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2005

http://itmanager.blogs.com/notes/2005/03/quick_thought_o.html Some people will take the preceeding comments to mean that I’m not happy with Exchange. Anyone that knows me knows that I like that product pretty much above any other from Microsoft.Having said that though, it’s hard to be exuberant about a product that you’ve spent the last 8 hours fixing.There’s always tomorrow, however. :) Related…

http://bloggingaboutblogs.blogspot.com/2005/03/its-all-about-business.html http://www.allbusiness.com/blog/metablog.aspHere’s a new “metablog” about business. It’s an interesting concept.

About 100 Bloggers (can we get along?) Great Content (it’s already out there) Great Design (design counts) Advertisers (money talks and everything else walks) Who knows, it could be the next About.com — sold for 410-million bucks.

AdSense Agreement Changes: Complete Markup of Edits (from: Blog Business Summit)

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2005

http://www.blogbusinesssummit.com/archives/2005/03/adsense_agreeme.htm Many people want to know what are all the changes that were made by Google to the AdSense terms as of March 8. Luckily, I kept a copy of my original agreement, and was able to run a document comparison in Word. A PDF file containing the redlined edits is here. The “Prohibited Uses” section needed a little more effort to decipher, as Word flagged the entire section as replaced. A more understandable version of that particular section is here. I’d love to see comments here about these changes.We’ll be covering AdSense in depth at the next Blog Business Summit. Let us know where we should host it. Related…
