Good Week

Buy.at and AOL - Massive congratulations to the buy.at shareholders for cashing in and selling to AOL. This should help buy.at push on, not only in the UK but also with Mal in the US. Being AOL owned will give buy.at a huge amount of credibility in the US and I wish the big fella all the luck in the world.

A4U Awards - Mr Wood this week launched the A4U awards which has had quite a bit of press, I think the awards are great for the industry. It will take another step into bringing affiliate marketing into the main stream. Looks like I will have to buy a suit.

Affiliate Raspberries - The award ceremony that the people really want to see was announced this week, with the likely date being the 28^th or May, just over a week before the A4U awards.

This should be a good night, we are organizing it at the moment, and I will let people know the details soon.

Bad Week

A4U Awards - I am sorry Matt but I have put the A4U awards in both good week and bad week. The awards have taken a bit of stick this week from a few corners, some of it rightly some of it wrongly. I will let people make their own decisions on this.

Google - are worried this week with the proposed take over of Yahoo by MSN, they have already been seen piping up with monopolies and mergers threats.

I think it would be good news for advertisers (including affiliates), with a genuine competitor to Google in the space. Although I think both MSN and Yahoo have a lot of ground to make up, not just in terms of market share but also with technology and account management.

England Rugby - What the hell happened? I have had a huge amount of abuse from the Welsh this week, namely Matt Brown. Cheers Lads
