Qlue.in is a free hosted blogging solution for those looking to easily create a blog with Wordpress but it comes with a twist. Not only do you get a free blog, you can use Google AdSense to generate revenue from your blog. It is free, easy and might make you some extra dough on the side.
Since you are the author of the blog, we believe that you should benefit the most from any arrangement. In keeping with that theory, three out of every four pageviews on your Qlue.in blog would display your Adsense Ads and the fourth would display ours. Once your blog generates enough revenue, you get paid from Google without the hassles of any middlepersons.
There is a lot of development going on in the backround but Qlue is ready for test drives. We will be adding many more features, themes and plugins in the very near future. But in the meantime, create a new blog for yourself and take it for a spin.

Pheedo Ads for Wordpress Feeds: Pheedo has been in beta on Pheedo Ads for WordPress feeds for the past 2 months and they are officially launching this week. Now WordPress publishers can simply cut-and-paste Pheedo’s ad code snippet and they will gain both analytics and ad revenue from their RSS feeds. This enables you to launch in minutes while maintaining your existing feed URL. Pheedo’s advertisers include Microsoft, Nikon, HP, PriceGrabber, PRWeb, Snagit and many more. Their ads are category based and you decide the number of ads that you want to publish with your feeds and their ad network works on a revenue share basis. Pheedo also works well with Feedburner and other RSS analytic tools.
You can visit Pheedo’s signup page to start serving ads on your feeds.
[EDIT] Only for US TaxID holders (citizens etc.) at this time. Thanks Brendan in comments.
[EDIT] Actually, Pheedo does work with many non-US publishers. Please email contact@pheedo.com for activation.

Essays on Mass Media: The next big thing in 1448 was a technology called “movable type”, invented for commercial use by Johannes Gutenberg, a goldsmith from Mainz (although the Chinese had thought of it first). Nice series of essays from The Economist. I really had no idea that “movable type” was used in the past (though I should have known from science education).
