Plaxo made the same mistake. They had a good opportunity for a business community play a la LinkedIn, but they tried too hard to invade your contact list to spread themselves, which turned a lot of people off. When trying to build a community of any sort, it's important to cede most of that control to the user, especially the key influencers / early adopters who are vital to user growth. Don't be overeager. Just create good tools and focus on what will actually make the product essential.

Source code says ads are served by Google AdSense if I'm reading that correctly... Feedburner used to have an option for adding AdSense to your feeds, but I think AdSense no longer has the option for new signups for their in-feed program so Feedburner removed the option. Convenient for them considering the launch of their own ad network.

Here's the code:

I don't know what to make of it.
