Overall mobile advertising is getting just too much attention compared to the number of subscribers, current usage, and content available be viewed/consumed by the users. Besides the well funded startups including AdMob, JumpTap, MillennialMedia, Actionality, ThirdScreenMedia, we also have mobile operators ad networks coming up from the likes of Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and traditional media advertising companies including Google and Yahoo gearing up to serve fresh ads to non-existent consumers.

Admob has served more than 734 million mobile ad views in around 1 year of its existence. I think we have yet to come across such a formidable player in the RSS industry. Given the fact that RSS is getting integrated with Outlook, already being integrated with Thunderbird, and other feed consumption tools from major companies like  Google, I expect more mainstream RSS adoption. Number of people believe that widgets might overshadow RSS adoption, which will definitely be tested in 2007. Personally I think RSS will continue to grow more on the corporate side, while personal users will tend to use widgets. This in turn means that an increased number of publishers will be looking to monetize their content on either platform. [...] […] Comparing this to mobile advertising space, which has also started picking up from 2006, I am amazed at the growth of Admob.
