Just a friendly reminder for all those with informational websites and blogs who want to jump on board of Google's new initiative: [ampproject.org...] Link to Publisher Monetization FAQ: [ampproject.org...]
Any of you guys already running AMP?

That's pretty funny, they're using markdown-toc instead of anchor tags on that FAQ page and it isn't even working. Some acceleration.

Might be interesting to play around with by creating a test mini-mobile site.
For those with enquiring minds...

My mind is of the "enquiring" sort.. However.. I know what "share-cropper" is already.. So.. I'll pass.. Thus foregoing the implicit "boost in SERPs".. :) No collar..no leash..no chains.. Plus I certainly don't need Google..whose ad code is usually the thing that "hangs" most sites, to help me make blisteringly fast loading sites, maybe they'll make their ad code and their analytics code hang even more for those who do not "sign up"..I don't use ganalytics, but I do notice their ad code is soooooooo slow to load on all sites, everywhere, as is their Ganalytics code..( funny urchin wasn't so slow ) "physician heal thyself ?"..Nah ..herding everyone into being share-croppers is so much more "efficient"..Eh Eric ? ..

Nah mate, I'm talking about simply creating a test mini-mobile site to play with [when time permits], nothing to do with SERPS - of course owning a pretty dumb $A 35.00 Nokia mobile phone which only sends/receives texts, phone calls - is somewhat of a distinct handicap. I'll have to use one of those sites which mimics mobiles/tablets.

@IanCP, you can just use the Inspect Element function, which is built in inside Google Chrome. It can emulate all the popular smartphones out there, so you can see how your website will look like. Just Google it and you'll find a guide how to do it. Fairly straightforward.
