TechCrunch did it a year or so back, as did Copyblogger, ReadWriteWeb etc - not really that new. It is a change from the made for adsense templates that many of us once had though - but I suspect we'll see something new again in the next 6 months or so because 125 x 125 ads only seem to work in some niches (particularly techy/web 2.0/blogging related niches). Selling this sized ad to mainstream advertisers doesn't work as well - they are still hooked on more traditional sizes. it’s been going on longer than John, myself or any others in your list.

this will certainly be a trend because of the recent google hunt for text links.. having a banner presents a better way to please advertisers for whom we cannot give page rank juice… also most bloggers once they have regular traffic and heavy pageviews(impressions) in their inventoryit is much better to hav cpm based banners than ppc text links..
