As usual, here’s my weekly compilation of cool stories I found around the net this week.

• Shawn Collins announced that Gary Vaynerchuk of WineLibrary.tv will be the keynote for Affiliate Summit West 2009. He’s sure to bring the thunder!
• Epic Advertising was not an April Fool’s Joke; AzoogleAds has indeed re-branded themselves along with Bazaar Advertising (their SEM arm) under the Epic Advertising umbrella. All three websites are still up and only the Bazaar site mentions the affiliation with Epic on the homepage, so I’m still sort of confused.
• Google announced that they’re splitting up DoubleClick Performics into two factions: Search Marketing and Affiliate Marketing. Naturally, they’ll be selling off the search portion and keeping the affiliate portion.
• Monster.com is apparently deparate to steal people from Craigslist.org. Wow that’s sad. But, the new Craigslist blog is really shaping up, so check that out.
• For the bloggers out there… Problogger.net put out a really great (especially for me!) post yesterday telling you which stats are important and which you can chill on. Makes me feel MUCH better, so thanks Darren & guest blogger Mark Seall
• Finally, there was a surge the other day of my friends joining up and getting Wordpress.com blogs. Rob Kaas, a talented writer no matter what he thinks, reposted an old blog about, well, blogging. It’s a good read so check it out.

Good stuff this week… although this weekly wrap up makes me glad that I’m not a “news blog” since I’d be late to the party in reporting this stuff!
