Zedo is an ad serving network very much like Google Adwords. Publishers are given "ad-space" with powerful inventory and monitoring tools to update and monitor their ads. Their service is supposedly audience targeted and optimized. So if you need some davertising to increase awareness for your sites or products, you might want to take a look at what Zedo offers. However, Zedo has always been accused of being a spyware since they gather personal information on browsing habits and preference. One thing I really hate is spyware, especially ones that cannot be easily removed. But what is surprising is that they have several big name advertisers as their clients.

Wow, now even advertisement networks are in the cloud. Don't believe me, check out this website. They claim that they have customers from eBay, Bannerconnect and Microsoft, all using their technology to distribute advertisements to their customers. I guess it makes sense to use cloud technology to deliver the ads, since your visitors will inevitably be from all over the world. Think of them as a real-time advertisement platform that has servers all over the world, optimized for distributing the relevant ads to the viewers. They claim that their platform is the most complete and powerful in the world. I don't know about that but since some of the bigger companies are using their platform, I guess they might have something at least. But of course ads still seem to piss off a lot of viewers. However if such ads is relevant and they don't distract the viewers too much (or at least load properly), I think most Internet users will not have a problem. And ads is usually the main source of income for most websites, so it will stay, no matter what Internet users want.
