Yahoo! to Launch New Ad Management System: AMP!

ZinText Featured on eBay’s Developer Blog
Big thanks to Laurel and the folks at eBay’s developer program. This morning they featured ZinText on their developer’s blog.
BTW, I am headed to eBay’s Developers Conference in Chicago June 17-19. Hit me up if you are going to be out there.
Disappointed with ePN
I had really high hopes for eBay’s separation from Commission Junction. For one, it’s usually always better to communicate directly, without a middle man. And that’s all CJ was, a middle man in our way, preventing us from getting our reporting on time. Or so we thought.

Advanced Zintext Options

Twitter freakin rocks

ZinText Officially Approved by eBay!
Big news today, well I guess not big but rewarding for a nerd like me, ZinText finally got the blessing from eBay, meaning we get to use this cool logo:

WTF is myspace doing?
