I used to run a campus ministry. Ugh, those were not the days to be me. However a service like this would have rocked my world. It would have made it easy to keep in touch with all the students. I can’t believe no one has done this before. It’s like the new age of Meetup.

LinkedCampus helps campus-focused businesses connect with their most valuable customers by harnessing the power of text messaging. We offer a web-based marketing tool that allows organizations to reach college students like never before. Gone are the days of ineffective email and flyers posted on bulletin boards; LinkedCampus allows local businesses the ability to impact college communities instantly and effectively.

Populate, Create, Deliver. It’s just that easy.

Interested in purchasing what may be the blogosphere’s and perhaps even the world’s most expensive ad-spot?

I’m selling this advertising space on my blog for $10,000,000. I will not split it up and sell parts of it. I am also unwilling to take any offer less than $10,000,000. For this price you will purchase all of the space on this blog and you will be able to place ads on here forever.

If you are interested send me an email.

Ever wanted to have one website that had a comprehensive list of the major properties in Web 2.0 today and displayed it in an easily accessible manner?

Movers 2.0 tracks the traffic trends for all the main Web 2.0 websites using data from Alexa.

While the site represents a good concept, their usage of Alexa may not be the best metric for determining popularity. Alexa doesn’t accurately represent a cross-section of Internet users and therefore unfairly weighs certain websites over others. Perhaps using the criteria offered by Web 2.0 Innovations may prove more useful.

Once leading search engine, now “entertainment portal” Lycos has released a new Web 2.0 feature, “Mix”, that lets users create playlists of video clips from video sites including YouTube and Google Video.

In a stunningly innovative move (not) Mix enables users to invite others to watch videos and chat about them online. Yep, scrape the content, serve it up, run ads against it and make a profit, but it’s all ok, it’s a Web 2.0 thing after all :-)

According to Online Media Daily, Lycos COO Brian Kalinowskihe said the goal [of Mix] was to create a product that allows groups of people to pull content from a variety of sources around the Web and yes, Lycos plans to offer banner ad units and sponsorships around the Mix community features.

The rise of the widget has been lauded around the web in various places. But I have yet to be really excited by any. This next widget hits a soft spot for me. It’s a widget but it’s also a killer photography display product. Good Widgets allows users to create photo widgets for their blogs,MySpace,or other social networking platform and share it with friends, family, readers, customers, any one that stumbles upon their creation.

Check em out and get some for your blog.
