Performancing.com has launched its advertising network, Performancing Ads. I’ve been playing acircular with the system for much of the latter part of development, and I can say I’m impressed. It’s simple and intuitive enough for anyone to easily use and understand, and yet you have the essentials of a good ad server, network and marketplace.
You can check out Ryan Caldwell’s Performancing post on 10 reasons why you should attempt Performancing Ads. A recent post by Darren Rowse on problogger.net threshes out some details, and David Peralty gives his opinion on the upsides and downsides of Perf Ads on XFEP. Jeff Chandler has a collection of links and reviews over at performancing.com.
Personally I really like the fact that you can book your own ads into your own sites. This means you can practically use Perf Ads as your ad server, or at minimum to fill in for those times when ad sales are slow.
Perf ads supports both image ads and text links, so you have the best of both worlds: image ads for brand marketing, and links for search optimization and to get a message across. Performancing also promises early, synchronized payout, and will pay out 60% of revenues. Perf Ads also has an affiliate program, where members can earn $10 credit from every successful referral, and 5% residual commissions from each sale by referrals.
Disclosure: Blogging Pro and Performancing are both owned by Splashpress Media

When I blog I literally have a lot of IE or FireFox tabs open. These tabs would normally be my info sources, a few research items, a dictionary tab, the search engine, my online bank access, paypal page… the works. You guessed I’m too multi-tasked a person to be limited to just one tab!
Fortunately, and I’m still on my blogging tools roll, we have a FireFox add-on to make your tabs world a little less awkward, specially if you’re too rapid to press the ctrl-w button to close a tab you’re using. Instead of doing the standard step to hit your browsers history-today window… check this out.
Undo Closed Tabs Button 3.0.3 was recently updated June 20, 2008.
Click the image one time to undo the last closed tab. Three times to open the last three closed tabs and so on. Click the drop down arrow to see the list of last previously closed tabs and select which one you would like to undo.
If you find yourself blogging too often while in the office, hey, this works as a rapid hide-the-blog-tab from the boss. Just don’t you dare rat on me when he finds out where you got the tip ayt? :) Kidding.
You might want to check out Tab Mix Plus if this is too basic for you.
Tab Mix Plus enhances Firefox’s tab browsing capabilities. It includes such features as duplicating tabs, controlling tab focus, tab clicking options, undo closed tabs and windows, plus much more. It also includes a full-featuruddy session manager.
A version for Firefox 3 is found here:http://tmp.garyr.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7031

Music videos are dominating YouTube’s list of the most viewed videos of all-time. Avril Lavigne’s “Girlfriend” music video recently pushed out Judson Apply’s Evolution of Dance. Artists with music videos on YouTube’s most watched page include Rihanna, Timbaland, Alicia Keys, Chris Brown, My Chemical Romance and Akon. Only a few of the most-viewed videos are not music videos from top music labels - these include Judson Apply’s funny dance video, a laughing baby and Jeff Dunham’s Achmed the Dead Terrorist video.
The fact that some music videos can attain massive views probably explains why you are starting to see music videos debut with special sponsorships. For example, Rihanna’s Umbrella music video begins with a brief graphic showing it was presented by Covergirl. 50+ million views is something advertisers are not going to ignore.
