    And how will this add up with Twitter?

    Good but not great, rss monetization won't work too well since I doubt feedreaders (read: non google) will validate or include Google's ads in the display of content.

    Publishers will not make money from ads in RSS feeds. Text ads in RSS feeds has been attempted since 2005 and the reason so few offer it is there is so little money to be made.

    Text ads don't work in video post roll either. They only work when someone is trying to find out more about something they are actively seeking.

    A person perusing their RSS feed is already swamped with too much related and pre-qualified information and will not be of a mind-set to trust the content behind an add vs. the next item in their feedreader.

    RSS never has lived up to the hype actually. Been hearing for years about how much potential its got. Well, that's about all its got, even now.

    Ehhh, speak for yourself please. RSS feeds are extremely useful and allow you to keep track of things you'd otherwise either forget about or would spend a lot more time checking.

    I agree, I don't think RSS ever lived up to the hype either.

    This is great news. As a blogger and Feedburner Ad Network member, I remember when they discontinued Google's RSS ads a couple of years ago. This is long overdue.

    RSS is incredibly useful, I continue to see RSS subscriptions rise at a much faster rate than pageviews on my music blog.

    Finally, maybe this can give a little boost to RSS. Bloggers need to really appreciate RSS and this can prove helpful.

    This is fucked up. Feedburner even emailed me personally a few years back trying to convince me to host my feeds with them for all their fancy bells and whistles like reader count and whatnot (all which I already had in my own homebrew feed!) and I said no thanks. Now, if I want ads in my feeds, I HAVE TO JOIN feedburner? That's fucked up google, I do not want to rely on another third party bit for my site, thank you very much.

    I want a code-snippet that I may incorporate in my own homebrew site. Please fix that STAT!
