Their lucky they got all that expensive equipment  between them while their doing the show. In the future I see bullet  proof glass..... LOL Just kidding. The show length is perfect, spot on,  no waste on predetermined montages or business or reader mail or  anything that's just filler to try and get a longer show. about 30  minutes or less is PERFECT. They're both Hilarious (a little respect  for the Bear).</td>

         <title>AdSense for Mobile but not for RSS?</title>

			<description><![CDATA[There is no such thing as AdSense for RSS.
<br><br>
Google has run a closed beta for AdSense in feeds for nearly 3 years (that's like a billion internet years) and acquired a company that got feed advertising down to a science but there still is no AdSense for RSS. 
<br><br>
So what gives? This a great opportunity to increase distribution of ad inventory and generate more revenue for publishers - the very people that make all Google services valuable.
<br><br>
My feathers are so ruffled on this because Google has figured out how to make AdSense for feeds work, for everyone. It's called AdSense for Mobile.
<br><br>
AdSense for Mobile has dumped the JavaScript copy and paste for server side execution in PHP, CGI/Perl, JSP and ASP. All four of these languages are magic bullets for putting AdSense in RSS feeds. 
<br><br>
Why? There are a couple of reasons:
<br><br>
1. Most feeds are generated by blogging platforms that are built on these languages<br>
2. JavaScript is needed to display AdSense ads and RSS feeds with JavaScript embedded in them aren't valid. Which means that most aggregators won't even allow you to add the feed. If they do it won't execute and will display the code inline.
<br><br>
So how do I know this this server side scripting will work? 
<br><br>
I tried building an ad network with OpenAds for RSS feeds and very quickly came up against the JS issue for serving dynamic or keyword ads. I spent a couple of hours figuring a way to make it work, very similarly, with just PHP. So when I saw the mobile ads I thought "Bingo. This is it!"
<br><br>
Another reason that I know the mobile code would work for RSS is that by making a simple tweak to the mobile code that is supplied by AdSense I was able to serve the ads in my browser and output them as XHTML. 
<br><br>
<img src="http://www.croncast.com/images/moads.gif">
<br><br>
<img src="http://www.croncast.com/images/moads2.gif">
<br><br>
If a publisher took this modified code and put it in their feeds and made sure that it is placed in a CDATA section within a given name space like <description> they could run AdSense ads. It's just that right now, the ads are formatted for mobile with phone numbers as links instead of urls and the publisher would probably get booted from the program.
<br><br>
Work with us feed freaks on this Google. It's time to stop policing the spigot, you've got the tech in place. Give us a taste.

				<itunes:summary>There is no such thing as AdSense for RSS.

Google has run a closed beta for AdSense in feeds for nearly 3 years (that&#039;s like a billion internet years) and acquired a company that got feed advertising down to a science but there still is no AdSense for RSS. 

So what gives? This a great opportunity to increase distribution of ad inventory</itunes:summary>

<br>
Kris nerds out about comment spam<br>
Not all the comments are on<br>
I gotta shut those people down with their Ultra Canadian Pharmacy<br>
What is wrong with you?<br>
No one wants to hear that<br>
It's just creative advertising, Kris<br>
This is getting super interesting<br>
You've dropped a lot of your nerdisms<br>
You aren't weird around girls anymore<br>
Just because people are turned in your general direction<br>
Well, it doesn't mean that they are listening<br>
Betsy breaks down her improv auditions<br>
Betsy is freaking out<br>
I told you how this would go<br>
Did you bring your headshot and resume?<br>
Right, my resume that says CEO of internet startup TheSmithMall on eBay<br>
See, you didn't think that this was real work<br>
No shit, it is competitive<br>
It was valuable<br>
I crossed it off with a china marking pen<br>
It was pretty much like the Wheel of Fortune Chicago auditions<br>
My sister told me not to wear my generic broken Crocs<br>
I looked down and that's what I was wearing with no socks<br>
That is prepared Betsy style<br>
At that moment I didn't feel that together<br>
A guy show up in a Simpsons t-shirt and a trench coat<br>
I see that guy and hit the floor<br>
Nobody move, nobody get hurt<br>
Another chick came in frazzled with watered down eyeliner<br>
A totally Deep Fried Blonde (DFB)<br>
That's their problem not mine<br>
What age range can you play?<br>
I just put 32<br>
You're supposed to put what ages<br>
Every time I fill out an app - White Hen, Hardees, Ben Franklin<br>
I could have used you as a wing man<br>
I have talked about Mike from Second City<br>
You just prefaced it with that<br>
Teaching there, holy shit<br>
The fourteen stages of improv<br>
It's all part of the shtick<br>
Then they go through what we are going to do<br>
I just want to go home and watch Desperate Housewives on dvr<br>
What was your first car?<br>
Chevy<br>
What kind?<br>
Silver<br>
And they all started laughing<br>
I wasn't trying to be funny<br>
Now I gotta do these setups with strangers<br>
It went well<br>
You are in improv boot camp at The Comedy Shrine<br>
Naperville is holding it down<br>
I know Mr B . . . people across the country they have working toasters<br>
The person in the chair is the mall information booth<br>
I am always thinking of disposable goods<br>
Where do they sell RID at the mall?<br>
Betsy gets cut off<br>
The person in front of me is the Deep Fried Blonde<br>
Her teacher didn't come from Second City<br>
She starts a god damn conversation with me<br>
She wants to shine<br>
All she was supposed to say was aisle three<br>
I started behind the door<br>
They said don't do that<br>
"DFB," one word would be fine<br>
Betsy, do someone foreign<br>
You have to get creative<br>
Foreign to Naperville is what I brought<br>
I was way better on the way home<br>
You are obsessing about this<br>
I helped build you up<br>
You are the most competitive person that I know<br>
Betsy, you just have to stick with it<br>
That is the key for you<br>
I would think after 11 years of marriage you would know when to shut up<br>
I am just wondering why to do this<br>
The audition freaked me out<br>
I knew I would be with professionals<br>
While you are doing your audition I took the man to his doctors appointment<br>
The nurse was treating him like he's managing his health care<br>
Sure, like he set it up<br>
He's lost weight and not grown<br>
We've taught him some better eating habits<br>
Here's a fruit party platter<br>
She's leaving and asks him if their is anything else<br>
He's talking non-stop<br>
This is a lot less<br>
"Elliot is there anything else you want to share," goes the nurse<br>
"There is something else," Elliot<br>
He looks right at me and says, "My mom says things to my dad that makes him really angry"<br>
"She says really mean stuff," Elliot<br>
Buddy, it might be a good idea to refrain<br>
On the show, but he doesn't listen<br>
Picking up probably on the hairy situation here in the house<br>
Sure we all have stress and tension<br>
Your mom and I are best friends<br>
One of those moments<br>
Then the kid asks, "Why am I in a foster home?"<br>
Tomorrow, is the 3 YEAR CRONCAST ANNIVERSARY

			<description><![CDATA[The following is a comment that I left for Dave Slusher regarding his podcast from yesterday lambasting me on "podcasting day job" from a presentation that I gave in 2006. It is waiting approval at his site, and in case it doesn't meet the specs I thought I would post it to the public here. To hear what I am writing about you can <a href="http://www.evilgeniuschronicles.org/audio/egc-2007-06-05.mp3">download it</a> and listen to 20:40 - 24:50.<br><br>I usually don't respond to this type of stuff but this deserves another perspective . . . like one from me, the guy in question. Thanks to the friend that pointed this out. He also rips Scoble, so I am in good company.<br><br>My comment:<br><br>
Okay, where do I begin. Dave, you and I are not strangers. We know each other from podcasting and have spoken on more than one occasion. We've both been at this podcast thing for a long time, you since Aug '04 and me since Nov '04, we've both got some perspective. 
<br><br>
I respect your thoughts on my presentation, but I don't agree with you. 
<br><br>
The presentation in question, "Leveraging your knowledge as a successful podcasting consultant" from PME 2006 was based on sharing my experience working for clients to produce podcasts from my basement. It was to help give a framework to those who wanted to make some extra bucks. Shit, I even give out my own business template for pricing and structure to those who attended and to those still asking for it.
<br><br>
Success, for me has been doing what I love, audio production, writing code and using my creativity in projects that pay me. Would you have me buy the argument that only "real" creativity comes from the absence of greenbacks? 
<br><br>
In February of 2005 I opened my consulting company and two weeks later I had MTV as a client. Was it also bad that in my presentation I shared how I lost them as a client? Maybe the fact that I recommend to podcasters that they should talk to a business attorney and an IP attorney so that they can avoid pitfalls like libel or onerous contracts? 
<br><br>
In my life, I too am trying to save for retirement, college for the kids and a safety net.  If I can make a buck podcasting for other people . . . big or small to put toward them by making podcasting my day job it doesn't feel like I am punching the clock. It might mean that I am working "just another shit job" in my basement. However, it doesn't feel like a shit job. It feels like I am doing something that I love. That should account for something in the personal satisfaction category, I rank this job a 1.
<br><br>
You and I simply differ on how to make money podcasting. You like the advertising/sponsorship model and I prefer to both produce my own personal podcast and use my skills to make works for other people. My personal podcast has been delivered 3 times a week for 2 1/2 years with my wife every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Want to question my passion for podcasting?
<br><br>
On this, I'm not asking to debate this topic but simply recommending that if anyone is interested to hear the presentation in question head over to http://pa.gigavox.com/ and look for big goatee and bald head for the right session. 
<br><br>
The bottom line for me is this is what someone who enjoyed both of our sessions had to say about them:
<br><br>
"Dave Slusher from Evil Genius Chronicles. When he speaks, Im there."
<br><br>
"Kris with Palegroove Studios gave the most honest, non sales pitch presentation on podcast consulting. He shared real world numbers, which is rare in this day and age."
<br><br>
Given our interactions in the past a comment about me like this shouldn't surprise me but as one podcaster to another, I'm sorry that you need to . . . wait, someone is asking for another mocha something, biab.
<br><br>
Back, I'll let the public decide if I am an evil prick trying to destroy "podcasting" by taking corporate money to work a shitty day job doing what I love from the comfort of my own home or if I got lucky and found a way for myself to make a living for family and our futures doing what I love from the comfort of my home . . . at my day job.<br><br>Tags: <a href="http://www.croncast.com/key/Dave Slusher">Dave Slusher</a> <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/Dave Slusher"><img src="http://www.croncast.com/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.croncast.com/keyrss/Dave Slusher.rss"><img src="http://www.croncast.com/images/c4_rss_tiny.jpg" border="0"></a> <a href="http://www.croncast.com/key/Evil Genius Chronicles">Evil Genius Chronicles</a> <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/Evil Genius Chronicles"><img src="http://www.croncast.com/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.croncast.com/keyrss/Evil Genius Chronicles.rss"><img src="http://www.croncast.com/images/c4_rss_tiny.jpg" border="0"></a> <a href="http://www.croncast.com/key/podcasting history">podcasting history</a> <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/podcasting history"><img src="http://www.croncast.com/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.croncast.com/keyrss/podcasting history.rss"><img src="http://www.croncast.com/images/c4_rss_tiny.jpg" border="0"></a> <a href="http://www.croncast.com/key/ID3 Podcast Magazine">ID3 Podcast Magazine</a> <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/ID3 Podcast Magazine"><img src="http://www.croncast.com/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.croncast.com/keyrss/ID3 Podcast Magazine.rss"><img src="http://www.croncast.com/images/c4_rss_tiny.jpg" border="0"></a> <a href="http://www.croncast.com/key/day job">day job</a> <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/day job"><img src="http://www.croncast.com/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.croncast.com/keyrss/day job.rss"><img src="http://www.croncast.com/images/c4_rss_tiny.jpg" border="0"></a>]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[The following is a comment that I left for Dave Slusher regarding his podcast from yesterday lambasting me on "podcasting day job" from a presentation that I gave in 2006.

			<description><![CDATA[I found this online this morning, something I said nearly two years ago about podcasting and the Adam and Ron Podshow "strategy cast", that seems to stand true today:<blockquote>"The money for now[in podcasting] is in services and software with advertising lagging behind as podcasters have yet to produce the numbers and models that advertisers feel comfortable with. Podshow seems to prepared to build from the services and software base and then bring the advertisers in but in that time there will be other[s] who figure out how to make it work.
<br><br>
My take is that being a first mover is very important, especially in this space and the mistakes that will be made by Podshow will benefit everyone else who comes along after. We're all learning from one another, a community of individuals with the same interest sharing (even if for a price)."</blockquote>
