Openads Newletter: Consultants, Revenue, and Coming Soon

by Scott Switzer on April 24th, 2007

Newsletter Issue #2

The last six weeks have been really hectic for us as we’ve added a new section, Revenue, and launched a new service offering, Consultancy.

Community consultants wanted!

We’ve received many emails in the past from publishers and users of Openads software asking for help to install, train, configure and develop custom features for them. In response we started a Consulting offering to help publishers use our software better. We’ve had hundreds of requests for help and now are swamped with work!

If you are a full-time consultant, IT programmer/developer or work for an IT systems firm with experience in OA 2.0 or 2.3, please get in touch with us so we can send business your way.

Revenue section success

The new revenue section is a success. We’re getting positive feedback and over 2,000 publishers have tried the new ad networks we have introduced to the community.

But, we can always do better! How can we improve this section? What would you like to see? Tell us.

Openads enters Second Life

Openads in Second Life

Matteo, a senior developer at Openads, had a little time free over Easter, so he decided to bring Openads to Second Life. It’s just a proof of concept but we think it’s pretty cool!

What’s Coming Up…?

  1. Joomla comes to Openads!
    In a month we hope to have a quick, easy plug-in available for Joomla so users of this popular content management system can use Openads as well.
  1. Over one billion McDonald’s hamburgers served!
    Everyone knows how many Big Macs have been served worldwide, how many Skype Number of users online users there are at any time…and soon you will be able to see how many ads Openads Community members serve!

We hope you enjoyed this edition of the Openads community newsletter. We will try really hard to get back to you every month with more news and information. As always, let us know your thoughts!
