Value Added Social Media Release
Last days, when I search for Social Media Releases (Technorati.com tag search for SMR, SMPR, SMNR...), I find more and more (let's say it) not good articles about this issue (hype, buzz). Although there are great basic articles about SMR (e.g. Brian Solis is my favourite - he should create the e-book about it), I agree with Brian Oberkirch, Stowe Boyd, Todd Defren, and others (old posts, but still fresh), that there is a long road for the better use of SMR.Â

Will OpenX Become Google Ad Network Competitor?
Several days before, Jonathan Miller became the chairman of online advertising company OpenX. Mr. Miller is former AOL CEO, and he was responsible for the move from AOL's ISP business model to advertising business and revenue model.
In the same time, OpenAds ad serving open source software company, re-branded itself to OpenX. One of the main reasons they mentioned for this move, is to create the environment to have the range of products/services, not only the ad serving solution.
