The Incredible Embeddable Web
Steve Rubel, the blogger at Micropersuasion, has an article in Ad Age today that talks about the trend towards bite-sized nuggets of information and bite-sized applications. He says the web is “increasingly becoming decentralized” and marketers and web publishers need to make use of this trend. If you have been witnessing the explosion of widgets and microblogging tools you are no doubt already aware of this trend. In the article Rubel tells marketers to make everything portable. Make everything portable. The next version of the Macintosh operating system, due out in October, has a small feature called Web Clip that turns any part of a site into a widget that lives on the consumer’s desktop. This is a big sign of things to come. In the very near future portals including iGoogle, My Yahoo and Netvibes as well as social networks will be able to easily inhale the smallest pieces of content from across the web. Don’t wait. Start now to make everything on your website embeddable. Traffic is becoming something that happens elsewhere, not just on your site. Apple’s Web Clip feature sounds fine providing they have the publisher’s permission to snag anything it wants from a publisher’s website. Rubel is right about the current trend. Marketers and publishers that don’t take advantage of widgets and RSS technologies may eventually be ignored by web users actively using tools like NetVibes and iGoogle. It’s the old “get on board or get left behind” thing happening on the Internet once again. This doesn’t mean that content producers necessarily have to come up with their own widgets. A lot of the current applications (and future applications) make great use of RSS feeds so just publishing an RSS feed will make your site’s content available to users. Another example is that publishers creating video content can use YouTube or other video sharing technologies that make it easy for people to embed their videos. There are a lot of great tools out there that publishers can take advantage of. Posted in Widgets Permalink | Recent Headlines | WWFeeds.com

Blog Covers the Comically Large
There is a new blog that covers comically large things like the giant pickle, giant noodle soup, giant video game controller, giant watermelon, giant ritz crackers, giant phone, giant penny, giant safety pin and giant blue box of dental floss. If it is oddly oversized then you can expect this blog to cover it. The blog also has categories so that if you are only interested in comically large pens and pencils you can find them. Comically Large Things is unique and wierd enough that it will probably develop a following. Via path Underwire -> Neatorama -> Metafilter.

Google News Now Hosting Stories From Wire Services
Google continues to show signs that it is becoming more of a media company. First there was the addition of special comments to stories appearing on Google News. Now Reuters reports that Google has cut a deal with four wire services to host their stories on Google.com. Google is playing host to articles from four news agencies, including The Associated Press, the company said Friday, setting the stage for it to generate advertising revenue from Google News. The news agencies – the Press Association of Britain, Canadian Press, Agence France-Presse and The A.P. – now have their articles featured with the organizations? own brands on Google News. The companies have agreed to license news feeds to Google. The five-year-old Google News service previously searched the Web to uncover links to news articles from thousands of sources, and clustered links on similar subjects together. Josh Cohen, business product manager of Google News, said his company would consider eventually running advertising alongside the agencies’ articles. What will this mean for blogs with numerous AP and Reuters stories now basically being contained as “one story” on Google News? It could be good in a way because it sort of ties all that competition off as a single source. On the other hand most blogs are not featured in Google News results anyway. Mathew Ingram and others here, here, here and here are correct that the real story here is the trouble this causes the daily newspapers which were already struggling. The Reuters story mentions this as well. Because of Google’s campaign to simultaneously reduce duplicate articles, the original wire service article is likely to be featured in Google News instead of versions of the same article from newspaper customers, sapping ad revenue to those newspapers. Any website relying on wire services as a main source of their content could be in trouble as newspapers and wire services start competing more and more with each other. On another note CNN recently ended a 27-year agreement with Reuters. That may just be another sign that things are changing. Advertisement: Keep up with movie and tv news.
