Why curated?
Why for Edelman clients only?
In general, what is the burning need for this “innovation”?

That’s great to hear.

As I understand it, the ad displays in fresh content from feeds selected by the advertiser, as well as comments left on the page. So it’s not just a static link to a discussion page.

If there’s a “widget”, where does it live, what does it do?

Rather than trying to simply broaden our customer base, we are trying to deepen our customer base. We’re getting people who buy our product to discuss new healthy dishes – so they buy more of our product… and perhaps tell some friends.

These are not unique ideas, but they are good ones, and I am glad to see them being implemented. If implemented well, this could be great. If not, the results will be limp.

If you want to witness the revolution, turn off the TV!

Sometimes you get 1 news article and 6 ads on the right resulting in a big white hole between all the different newsfeeds.

So nice to embed ads into social services like blogs, but for the user it is not that interesting…and I think it will be in its beta-stage, while at Newsgator Online it still has its flaws.

Just a small side-note.
