LiveJournal Selects Their New Board Members; Meet Jennifer Brady and Zafar Khashimov

A month ago today we wrote that Google AdSense for FeedBurner RSS feeds was coming and today we have learned more details via a blog post on the FeedBurner site. Starting next week, a select group of publishers who are part of the FeedBurner Ad Network (we are part but apparently not in the test group) will begin to push Google AdSense ads out to their feeds.
Eventually the program will open to anyone using Google AdSense and seems to be driven through the AdSense program rather than the FeedBurner program.
FeedBurner suggests that those of us in the Ad Network will continue to run "premium CPM ads directly sold onto their content" — I have watched the number of these premium ads drop like a rock since FeedBurner sold to Google and it was a fear of mine which sadly has been realized.
Maybe after Google AdSense pushes out to the mass, my "buck a feed" concept might actually start to move forward.
Digital Inspiration found some Google ads in feeds a month ago - remember that there’s no JavaScript in a feed so these ads will be run via a HTML imagemap.

We reported earlier this month that blogging platform LiveJournal was seeking a new member for their board of directors and were running a contest to find that person. The winner of the election is Jennifer Brady of Mesa, Arizona and she will join the board effective Sunday. You can read Brady’s winning essay submission to learn more about her and how she plans to help the LiveJournal community.
Brady notes that she wants LiveJournal to be clear with its’ members why they make certain decisions and also to create a usable site search. Asked to define the value of LiveJournal, Brady noted:
When speaking about value, I feel that the irresistible value of LiveJournal is in its community. We are what makes LJ valuable. The users who post about their day, about their kids, about their last BDSM encounter, about sex and food and everything under the sun. Without its users, LJ is nothing but an empty husk. To continue being valuable, LJ needs to work on retaining existing users by keeping the aspects of the site that are most valuable to them, while at the same time attracting new users by making new features available and taking advantage of new ways of thinking.
Brady will join current Advisory Board members danah boyd, Esther Dyson, Brad Fitzpatrick and Lawrence Lessig.
As for the Cyrillic-speaking LiveJournal community election, Mr. Zafar Khashimov won and will join the board as well.
