New kinds of hosted promo tools? Opinions?

In the last year a lot of new things have been popping up more and more.

Hosted Blog Entries
Hosted Blogs
Hosted Reviews / Pre Written Reviews
Hosted TGP Sites
RSS Feeds

ect ect.

Now a question to you all (specially you big affilaites)

Are these useful to you?

Do you like all these new concepts, and more to the fact do you use them?

Do you still stick with sponsors with the same old hosted galleries, maybe free sites, some banners, ect, or do you love having all these new things to play with.

Im just wondering how many affiliates would love to jump into a resellers area and being presented with a true MASS of different kinds of promotional materials, with never ending prospects.

I have a LOT of new ideas flying around here for britishbucks, and i really am interested to know if affiliates on a whole would give them a go, and do some thing different.

Look forward to your replies :D
