			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p><strong>Ugly</strong> - With financial services representing <a href="http://michaelgracie.com/2007/08/30/will-mortgage-collapse-hurt-web-ads-looks-that-way/">roughly a third of online ad spending</a>, what happens to the Web 2.0 trend (so dependent on advertising revenue) if <a href="http://www.alleyinsider.com/2007/08/why-mortgage-co.html">said cash flow disappears</a>?
