November 13, 2009 by Andy Merrett

adwire-logoWith the increasing number of publishers creating hyper-local sites, it’s no surprise that services such as AdWire are springing up to allow them to add a new stream of relevant advertising and earn revenue.

AdWire, from Fwix, is a local news distribution system which allows web publishers to add widgets to their sites that will provide local news and ads.

AdWire serves up news based on particular categories that a publisher sets, but it also takes visitors’ geography into consideration when serving content, hopefully keeping stories relevant.

October 14, 2009 by Easton Ellsworth

We caught up with Lucien Burm, founder of Kimengi, which has created an interesting new tool for bloggers called feedforward (see demo). Here’s the interview.

===

1. How do you explain what feedforward and Kimengi do to people who have never heard of them before?

The first thing I say is that we create a more lateral web, but most of times I need to explain two things first: recommendations and widgets.

Everyone knows about recommendations that webshops provide, such as ‘people bought this, also bought…’. So at first I explain to people that this is the functionality we provide. Then I talk about our widget as a very smart website within a website that can create the same kind of recommendations on your blog/title and even better. It is better because all widgets on all participating sites can work together creating cross-site recommendations. And then, the recommendations are not only based on what other people liked, we look into context too. [Read more…]

Amazon Launches Blog Widget

January 26, 2009 by Thord Daniel Hedengren

This is an interesting move from Amazon. They are adding a Amazon Blogs Widget, a new feature that lets you embed the latest blog posts from a selection of eight blogs writing about stuff that Amazon sells. If you’re an Associates member (ie got an account for their affiliate program) you can earn money on sales generated through the widget links.

Check it out, along with the new author stores, which is basically designed author product listings. Great for niche bloggers, and consumers as well I guess.
