Adxplosion

Looks like every web service worth it's money has some Google Adsense equivalent. Typepad rolled out a new text ad serving functionality using  Kanoodle's network.

Not able to test it completely since I use   
custom templates (it sucks to see that  advanced  users can't use this feature who
incidentally pay more for Typepad service !).   It's only available for standard templates.

There are so many areas they can improve Typepad service,  after a long wait all we see is this text ad which doesn't work on custom templates. Overall I like their service but their slow adoption of all the plugins and nice hacks will eventually push me towards wordpress.

But then I am too lazy to manage my own blog infrastructure !
