There has been a lot of talk about PayPerPost ever since they launched. Backed by Draper Fisher Jurveston with $3 million in funding, they are a controversial new service where bloggers can choose what companies, products or services to talk about by selecting the right ‘opportunity’ from PPP.
PayPerPost has changed they way they deal with the ethical dilemma and become clearer about their disclosure requirements.
I wonder if I should give it a go.

Jangl.com (in beta) has gotten a lot of attention and even made it to the 2007 Connected Innovators. But I don’t get this service. I signed up, my sister in the UK signed up. I got a number for her and she got a number for me. We both set our preferences to go to Phone. However, everytime I call the number I got for her email address, it goes directly to voicemail. Same for her.
I have been trying to figure out what am I doing wrong, checked out their support pages and everything. The idea is for people to not have to disclose their phone numbers, but shouldn’t they at least connect as the website claims they can?

I just discovered Recruit.net through the Web 2.0 indeces somewhere. These guys are doing it right in my opinion. They are leveraging 3rd party data (job postings), allowing customization (profiles with resumes), really clean interface, well placed ads and a site that works.
I think they can work on their search function - I tried playing around with different terms and with a mix of operators and wasn’t highly impressed with my results and result sort options. They currently only feature Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan and Singapore; maybe more countries would be good.

Google TiSP just launched. Only Google can afford such an April Fool’s joke. I LOVE G! Instructions on how to get your own GFlush:
Installing a typical home TiSP system is a quick, easy and largely sanitary process — provided you follow these step-by-step instructions very, very carefully.
#1 Remove the spindle of fiber-optic cable from your TiSP installation kit.
#2 Attach the sinker to the loose end of the cable, take one safe step backward and drop this weighted end into your toilet.
#3 Grasp both ends of the spindle firmly while a friend or loved one flushes, thus activating the patented GFlushâ„¢ system, which sends the weighted cable surfing through the plumbing system to one of the thousands of TiSP Access Nodes.
#4 When the GFlush is complete, the spindle will (or at least should) have largely unraveled, exposing a connector at the remaining end. Detach the cable from the spindle, taking care not to allow the cable to slip into the toilet.
#5 Plug the fiber-optic cable into your TiSP wireless router, which has a specially designed counterweight to withstand the centripetal force of flushing.
#6 Insert the TiSP installation CD and run the setup utility to install the Google Toolbar (required) and the rest of the TiSP software, which will automatically configure your computer’s network settings.
#7 Within sixty minutes — assuming proper data flow — the other end of your fiber-optic cable should have reached the nearest TiSP Access Node, where our Plumbing Hardware Dispatchers (PHDs) will remove the sinker and plug the line into our global data networking system.
#8 Congratulations, you’re online! (Please wash your hands before surfing.)
