Ivan, the guy who runs AdsOfTheWorld, came up with a new concept called Advertlover.com. It is a site like digg.com, but focuses on advertising related content. People can vote on ads and the highest votes obviously show the most interesting campaigns or stories. Check it out and join the Advert Lover community to participate in the madness. I’m waiting for someone to write a WordPress plugin like ‘digg this story’ but then for Advert Lover. A ‘love this ad’ plugin, so to speak. Anyone?

Thanks a lot for mentioning Advert Lover! The plugin is a good idea, I’ll work on it. It would be great to have a small icon with a heart on the bottom of your blog posts, next to digg, etc. It would be exclusive for advertising blogs.

Have you taken a look at Sociable WP plugin ( http://push.cx/sociable ) ?
You can just add it into that plugin, of course you should check the software license on that plugin but I’m pretty sure it can be added to. Why rebuild something that already exists.
Just need to make sure that Advert Lover! can receive the post.
It would probably gain more traction as part of an exiting plugin than as a standalone plugin.

Hmm. Interesting. There’s a lot of things you can do with that. I’ll have to investigate this a little more. Thanks, Ming!

Just following up on some random things. Did you ever check out sociable? In case you haven’t, I added Advert Lover to the list of sites. It’s as simple as a few lines of code to cut and paste.
You can check it out on my site. I don’t actually need it since my site isn’t about ads but figured I could contribute back to the community. Just mouse over the book icon at the end of the post.
I tried to find a way to contact Ivan of Advert Lover but couldn’t find his contact info. Pass this along if you like.
