The Life and Times of Sooz

I am a fan of alternatives, also known as options. For example, WhizSpark is (more or less, though they are so much more) an alternative to evite. I could set up my own ad server for Exploit Boston, but I'd rather not. Are there any alternatives to Blogads worth checking out?
