This would definitely be less annoying to me personally, and kind of like having automated search results related to the content of my blog (which I would be much more interested in). Click-thrus could still generate revenue for AdSense clients by including the appropriate customer information in the link. However non-AdSense results should also be incorporated based on utility and popularity even though these would not generate revenue. This seems like a more non-Evil way for Google to still make some cash, while annoying users less. (Sorry that this isn't related to tagging.)

But a friendly word of advice: If you're going to be the voice for all great cool new technolgies etc - via TechCrunch/here/wherever.. I really think you should be utilising the simplest of technologies from the outset: ie: if you are doing a podcast via a blog, you should have the MP3 url in an enclosure tag of the RSS feed - which I see you're using Feedburner to produce. Not the best choice, as if they go down, you all go down, so to speak ;) - but they do provide stats (which you could get easily as you have your own domain/servers and therefore stats) Keep up the great work though, as I enjoy reading your articles. But, if you want to push web2.0, I just think you need to show that your sites can use the tech we already have and that you fully understand and embrace what we have already. without that, something just doesn't 'feel' right my 2p. :) Mike,

Time is money. If my blog is providing as a free service which subscribers value and I don't want to be in the business of selling or promoting products then ads make sense for me. Ads don't make sense for Dave. Fine. I have no problem with that. I also have no problem with people like Dave not subscribing to my blog.

I purchased a $40 digital recorder, downloaded Audacity (an open source audio editor), and produced the podcast in about an hour. Now that I know how to do it, it will take less time for future podcasts. The hardest part was getting the damn thing uploaded properly.
