– [MySpace goes mobile](https://web.archive.org/web/20120127055221/http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11374772/) (launching a mobile service that will let users read and post to the site for free)

– [Rojo FeedShare](https://web.archive.org/web/20120127055221/http://www.rojo.com/corporate/services/feedshare) (“a service that helps bloggers with similar interests promote each other.” — kind of like Adsense but you’re advertising people)
