• Google AdSense will now work with RSS feeds.

GotApps.com keeps track of all iPhone application releases and sends out alerts for new ones.

FlixWagon has released an application to stream live video to Apple iPhones, but like a similar application released this week by Qik.com, it only works on hacked phones.

• Finally: "Tetris" for the iPhone.

• Environmentally conscious webmasters can measure their carbon footprint through CO2Stats.com or use this new green phone from Samsung.

AppJet.com lets programmers build simple JavaScript-based applications in their browsers.

• For webmasters who have been trying to watch the Olympics at NBCOlympics.com but don't want to download Microsoft's Silverlight media viewer, the mobile web browser Skyfire offers an alternative.

• Here's a great idea: HitMeLater.com lets users re-send themselves email messages at later times to remind themselves of important information.
