but now acquired in April, 2008 by AOL for $25M

Sphere provides contextually relevant content tools that make connections between text, video, photos and ads. Sphere is currently integrated into over 60,000 leading sites and is live on over 2 Billion monthly article pages across the Internet.

I like the creativity of these guys behind a simple server down message.
Check it out when Jaiku.com server goes down, it is simply different than all other web 2.0

Image by ajneok via FlickrMany friends received an email from Google AdSense recently telling them that Google has recently disabled their account and all their AdSense earning were lost for Google pockets. (Google claims invalid clicks or other reasons without proving anything to publishers and domains owners).

After the removal of AdSense from these sites, domain owners and webmasters discovered a major and important factor and that is the pollution of the web that Google has caused to all surfers and online readers.

The best of this short story is that these sites are earning much more by serving TradeDoubler Contextual ads with a more respected approach.

At the end, my advice is much better to rely on an added free value for users without any financial supports from Ads and that goes for the first 1 year.
We may ask Yahoo now and see if they aware of Google AdWords pollution dramatical problem.
Keep the web clean Guys.
May God help you all to protect the web and keep it as clean as possible.
