Oh cool I just noticed something else. The interface has changed, currently all of my ads have disappeared but that doesn't bother me. ;) Also note the location of New window, Expand All, and Print, they have been rearranged for those of us who had the ads along the side.

No webclips?
Try this : sit down, wait 'til the earth has rotated once or twice,
then look into your account again.
In other words, when new features are rolling out, they keep on
rolling. Why not hold your horses, and show some patience?

[Jonathan L. Piper]

As read in all of the blogs before this came out it is rotating ads and feeds. Also it seems to be updating as I am typing.

Scott, I'm sorry I'm not sure what OPML is and I haven't found anything that seem related within what I have browsed so far. 

Gmail Clips shows you news headlines, Gmail tips, blogs, any RSS and Atom feed, relevant sponsored links, and more -- right at the top of your inbox and messages. Receive updates from your favorite sites without having to leave Gmail!

OPML is a file format that lets you import many feeds at the same time.

I am so confused now. The email that I use for this group I got back in
may/june. I made a secondary account for an old school mailing list i
am on (so I didnt have to use hotmail) in october.

That second account has these clips but my main account doesn't?
Weird...

[Caleb]

oh, wow, thats odd.  So maybe they're not using the invite route for feature rollout?  what then? ad click rates?? lol

[bartheq]

I have my account since 26th june 2004 and I still don't have thos web
clips thingies (:

Well the web clips, look great, I am waiting with baited breath.

[Jonathan L. Piper]

By the way I have made a wrong statement, the ad's do not refresh automatically.

[T. M. Tracy]

what do you mean...what ads...and what does not refresh automatically?

[Jonathan L. Piper]

Sorry I wasn't clear... In the Web Clip's bar is the only location that Sponsored Link's are now shown. Sponsored Link's are alternated although very rear to be seen thus making them more tempting to click if relevant to what you like.

- Jonathan L. Piper

[T. M. Tracy]

so, so far, this replaces the text ads?

[Jonathan L. Piper]

As of now this is the only ad that I have in my view and you don't even see an ad the majority of the time. Nothing else along the sides or bottom.

[Rguy84]

Jonathan - They actually do refresh when gmail does the auto-refresh...
Julie - I already tried to "turn them off" I found them
annoying...thhey were the same 5 stories.

Nook, something I just ran across...

http://www.webpronews.com/news/ebusinessnews/wpn-45-20050423GmailEnablesClipsforSome.html

Gmail maintains however that the Clips are purely a limited test for now. A small number of randomly selected users are testing the feature, but it may become more widely available in the future. As of right now, I am not one of the chosen ones. However, here's how you can see if you are Gmail Clip-worthy:

[Jonathan L. Piper]

Oh and so far it seems two of my seven account's I maintain have web clips. One being my primary account, which I am thankful for, and the other my dad's which he is POP only for the time being. Once the service is out of beta and I have him fully off the bellsouth account I have forwarding to his gmail, I will force him to use the web interface.

[OraWiz]

It seems to be a brilliant move by GMAIL in terms of AD's.

Since the clips keep on rotating between what you set and AD's by
google, a gmail user might just be enticed to click something that
he/she has not set in the first place.

Njoy.........

I think that the rollout has something to do with the amount of mail
that you recieve as well as the number of times you click on the
Sponsored Links. For example, only one of my four accounts has the Web
Clips, the others rarely get mail, so I don't check them and don't
click on ads. Just a thought...

[Caleb]

i really hope its not the latter--i've never clicked on a single one of the ads!

[Brady K]

I clicked on a couple of the ads, refreshed, and I had Web Clips. You
never know...

are you zarking serious??? *clicks ads like mad*

Yeah, and so are the guessing games it gives rise to... :)
"Sacrifice three chickens and a goat to get eight invites instead of four..."

I don't practice Santeria
I ain't got no crystal ball
But I had my fifty invites, and I--
I sent them all
(with apologies to Sublime)

I tend to believe Google when it says distribution is random, whether
it's of invites or features.

[Darryl Rayburn]

yep, but there's a method in that randomness :D (sorry about the
"teejuss" thing...I had to send that last one from the Groups website)

Yep . . . benchmarking is definitely a factor -- slowly roll it out
increasing the number of people to potentially create bugs, catch a
problem before it gets too big. Gmail using JavaScript to do
everything and, therefor, operating on the client side, makes it a
system far more sensitive to the particulars of the user's system than
a server side scripted interface.

Plus, it keeps us all drooling in anticipation. They have quite a
hold on us. The sinister, evil, all powerful google.

[Rguy84]

No idea, but greatful that my main account doesn't have them (yet). I
find them somewhat annoying and distracting. I forget what tech one I
did, but it had a lot of ads.

I don't know if anyone noticed this or not, but when you go into your
Spam folder, the Web Clips feature displays Spam recipies, and when you
are in the Trash folder it gives recycling tips and facts. Good old
Google...

[Ukpong]

lol trully awesome

When I go into my Spam folder, the Web Clips feature does not display Spam recipes, and when I am in the Trash folder it doesn't give recycling tips and facts.

Nice try,Brady.

Hope you meant this as a joke!!

I don't know why you guys cant see them, but here's the screenshot of the spam side, for some reason I can't get the trash.

its "random"ly distributed.  which is competely crazy, cause i want it. there should be a request form or something.......

[Darryl Rayburn]

I actually am getting Spam recipes at the top of my Spam "folder"...hilarious

[Darryl Rayburn]

and, finally do have web clips in my most active account; my other one
(not used nearly as much) doesn't have them. Random? hmmm ...... ;)

[Scott Villarosa]

Far out I want web clips. This is really starting to annoy me, hey.

wow...if you don't have them yet it must be random indeed, and
Google's more honest than I gave them credit for ;) Anyway if I have
them now it must mean that the rollout is picking up speed, so sit
tight :)

[Scott Villarosa]

Do you click on ads much? I've heard a theory that prevalent ad-clickers get
web clips quicker than non-ad-clickers, like me.

[Jonathan L. Piper]

Just to let you know I still only have two of the seven accounts that I manage with Web Clip's meaning I have seen no change, no roll out.

[Darryl Rayburn]

nope...I've clicked on maybe two ads the whole time I've had the account.

[Kass Lloyd (raeky)]

web clips is a myth. :P

I rarely click on ads, but I got clips a couple days ago. They're
customizable, and you can add your own feeds.

I think that offering incentives for clicking on ads goes against
Google's own policies, and so I really don't think they would do that.

--Rachel

[Scott Villarosa]

You're probably correct. I would like web clips in my account, though. dang
it.

You can search for content on feedster. Also check your usual sites
since most websites now offer RSS feeds.
