Jessica Mintz has a great article in today’s WSJ on blog advertising.

Flickr’s announcement here.

Jason Calacanis sat in on a presentation and gives a long, interesting report on the new Odeo “podcasting portal” (my phrase) coming soon from Blogger co-creator Evan Williams and others.

Update: Much more on the del.icio.us tag ‘odeo’.

Another update: Make magazine has photos, including some screens from the Odeo site/app.

John Hawkins at RightWingNews interviews Henry Copeland of Blogads.

See my interview (conducted a few weeks ago) with Henry right here.

Whoah…According to this item on AdJab, AOL has “clarified” an earlier statement it made regarding its estimates for ad revenue this year. Still, rather than planning to exceed industry growth, they now say all they’ll do is meet growth.

Not bad considering current industry estimates predict that online ad rev will grow 20-25% in 2005!

BlogPulse has posted a fascinating study examining the effects of the blogosphere on the mainstream media during the 2004 Presidential election.

This is one of the coolest outdoor ads I’ve seen in a long, long time.

Editor and Publisher reports that online ad revenue jumped last year. Things should look even better this year.

As usual, there’s tons of great stuff over at Micropersuasion (is that the laziest post intro ever?), including this long, descriptive post about Yahoo’s new 360 mega-social networking service.

Apparently, 360 will combo blogs, profiles, photos, and more into one uber-service, which goes public March 29th. Related item: as part of yesterday’s Remaindered Links feed, Jason Kottke tossed out this bone regarding some recent Yahoo! aquisition rumors:

Looks like Yahoo! has created its own version of Livejournal (blogs + social networking)…Flickr will fit into this nicely. ; )
