When you think of the long and gloomy history of man, you will find more hideous crimes have been committed in the name of obedience than have ever been committed in the name of rebellion.

I can’t believe The Doodle in New Haven is closing. Anna and I ate there many mornings and days while in New Haven and her dad was a big fan (still has a coffee mug). Amazing how things change. Sad. Just very very sad…

Lisa Picarille, Jim Kukral, Shawn Collins and Sam Harrelson cover the latest and greatest in the world of performance marketing, tech and all things geek. This week we discuss revolutionary screensavers, how to butt kiss Jason Calacanis, the acquisition of buy.at by AOL and why tech bloggers don’t like affiliates, and why some affiliates don’t like each other.
The show runs about an hour.
Yet another reason to use and love Twitter (I’m at http://www.twitter.com/samharrelson if you’d like to add me):
This just hit the wires… huge news in the affiliate marketing world and solidifies AOL’s place as an ad network to be reckoned with…
AOL buys online affiliate marketing network buy.at | Technology | Reuters: “NEW YORK (Reuters) – Time Warner Inc’s AOL said on Tuesday it has purchased online affiliate marketing network buy.at as part of a strategy to bolster its Internet advertising operations.
AOL did not disclose financial terms.
Buy.at is a network in which advertisers pay Web publishers that belong to the network only when a visitor to the site takes an action, such as making a purchase.”
It’s no secret that AOL has been re-aligning itself to take advantage of its stout advertising inventory within its own network. However, this acquisition points towards a possible route for AOL to also begin to provide advertising (most likely display given buy.at’s strengths) for 3rd party sites outside the AOL web family.
I’ve got calls in for a couple of interviews, so more soon…
