博客主们的新网赚福音-Feedburner

2008年5月6日

不少朋友利用博客赚钱,主要是有些BLOG,诸如Bloger 等是可以挂Google Adsense,但是因为可以使用Adsense的Bolg毕竟有限,不少朋友只有望博兴叹了,我们都知道著名的 Feedburner.com 已被Google收购掉,这无疑对大家是个利好的消息,原来4月25日,Feedburner官方发布了升级说明,在未来的日子里即将支持使用Google Adsense,于之配套而来的就是你的众多的Bolg都可以因此而获利,目前Feedburner的Feed支持主流的几个国外免费Bolg,诸如:Google Bloger,TypePad,WordPress(使用WP搭建的个人BLOG),WordPress.com(官方免费WP博客)等等,以下引用Feedburner官方的升级说明:

There are strange things afoot! (Well, perhaps not "strange," and certainly not just at the Circle K.) In the coming weeks, upon visiting www.feedburner.com, selected publishers will have the opportunity to sign in using their Google Account and experience FeedBurner, now as part of the Google.

If you are among these merry few who migrate early you won’t see many changes at first. In fact, you might find yourself saying, "my, it’s awfully quiet in here. Almost…too quiet." (But it may look a bit Googlier around the edges.) Your feeds should continue to hum along as they did before, and all of your settings will be yours to manage through your new or existing Google account. This is the same shiny Google account you use to sign into other services at Google.

Following on the footsteps of this account migration, FeedBurner will start to look and feel more like a set of Google services, and we will be completing much tighter integration into other Google services such as Google AdSense. (If you are a feed advertiser, don’t worry: we have some happy surprises coming for you as well, and if you are an advertiser who is not yet a feed advertiser, you too shall be blessed with good fortune.)

As part of this Google Account migration, we will need to make a few process changes for our API partners. Effective immediately, the FeedBurner Management API will only be available for existing FeedBurner partners and those Google partners who currently have access to other Google AdSense APIs. The Awareness API will continue to work exactly as it did before, noting that once you migrate to a Google account, you will have to use your Google account credentials IF you use the authenticated API.

If, going forward, you do not want to sign in with a Google account, you can always take your feeds with you by redirecting your subscribers back to your source. Migration will ultimately be here for everybody, including all you MyBrand folks who are master of your domain.

时运的受益王者 – Google

2008年4月26日

(From-财经时报) 2000年,互联网泡沫破碎的时候,谢尔盖·布林和拉里·佩奇正处于大规模进攻的绝佳时机。因为泡沫的破碎,硅谷里到处都有公司裁员或者破产,而Google却没有受到影响,对于一家运行状况良好且处于上升期的新创公司来讲,再没有更好的机会了,他们两个发现自己控制的公司,是这场毁灭大批技术公司的市场灾难中唯一还在继续雇用新员工的公司。作为一家私人公司,Google能够免受华尔街的毒害,而现在,它还能雇用到杰出的软件工程师和数学家,因为这些人发现自己一夜之间就成了无业游民,或者自己手中掌握的股票变成了一堆废纸。

  这样的一种人才过剩的局面对于Google而言是个千载难逢的好机会,它可以趁机大幅提升自己的研发实力和发展潜力。而在正常的商业运作下,Google是不可能有这样的机会的。当Google在搜索引擎行业的主要对手们都因为财务危机而举步维艰,看不到复兴的机会时,Google却搬到了位于芒廷维尤的一个更大的办公总部。

  在Google的总部里弥漫着轻松的气氛,这与外面环绕着它的大厦将倾的凄风苦雨形成了鲜明的对比。Google的气氛十分特别:带着台球杆到处晃的程序员,嚼着五彩糖豆的助理,热爱 Google 简单、快捷、高相关性搜索结果的心满意足的计算机用户。布林和佩奇在建设为Google的商业运作提供动力的计算机基础设施的时候处处精打细算,不过为了Googleplex创造出适宜的公司文化,培养Google员工强烈的忠诚度和从工作中获得的满足感,他们可以说是不惜工本。而这种文化的典型器物,其中包括色彩夺目的健身实心球、熔岩灯以及随处可见的五花八门的小机械和玩具,是这家公司充满了一般大学才有的活力。他们相信,从长远角度来看,所有这些都会为公司带来丰厚的回报。

  在Google,尽管将每周的一个工作日拿出来做一个你(而不是你的老板)热切想要做的事情,不用担心这个项目会不会赚钱、会不会变成成功的产品之类的庸俗问题。换句话说,你可以随心所欲地进行研发。

  Google采取的这些反常规的措施,使其经营理念纳入了真诚的元素,也奠定了成功的基石。
