I am seeing an uptick in inquiries about building opt-in lists for SMS
messaging from my clients, i.e. party promoters, guerilla marketers, etc.
The email marketing technology my company offers has been able to be used to
send SMS messages for quite awhile already.  We're just waiting for everyone
else to catch up.

Yesterday I saw an article somewhere online about the beginnings of an
advertising boom in RSS feeds.  Another one discussed the challenges
presented in advertising in/on Podcasts. 

<OT>I don't know how people can skip Podcast commercials, on an iPod anyway,
if it's part and parcel of the download.  Or, maybe it's just that I don't
know how to fast forward through the middle of a piece as opposed to
skipping the entire piece.

Big article on this morning's NYT about cell phone service.

By the way, thanks for initiating this great discussion.  This is the kind
of thing I've missed most with the demise of the dot-com boom.  
Maybe this is the true signal of a recovering economy in the industry.  
Great discussion evaporated along with the jobs or, at least, it seemed that
way for me.
