| I'm seeing frequent graphical ad banners, usually for some survey company, in my RSS feeds. At first I thought they were from the feed providers, but it's across the board. Are these ads from Newsgator? If so, are they new today?

We are not inserting ads into feeds, but I understand that FeedBurner does. Do you know if the feeds in question are using FeedBurner to serve their feeds? Can you provide a couple examples of feeds you're seeing this with?

| Turns out that several advertisers have picked up the same company's ads. I e-mailed one of the less likely to do so -- John Battelle, who runs BoingBoing's backend. He said they've been running ad banners at BoingBoing for a while. Thanks for the quick response, and thanks again for keeping my feeds free of extra ads!

I just stumbled accross this post from Dave Winer where he mentions the plethora of ads that just showed up at Boing Boing. He included a screen shot which is peppered with survey ads.
I'll have to be faster next time so I can beat you to the punch.

| And I'll have to be faster so I can beat Winer to the punch. Thanks for those links, I'll use them in my Blogebrity post.
