Google chases the $74 billion TV-ad market

"Already, the company has started to apply its targeting techniques to the $20 billion radio market it entered through the
acquisition of dMarc broadcasting. Now, as the Browser noted back in March, Google is hiring engineers to build similar technology for television, allowing Google to place ads on behalf of advertisers just as it does on Web pages today.

Personally, I think this is the coolest thing ever to happen to both television and radio for that matter. Google has made all of our lives better and, in the interests of replacing Microsoft with a, well, better Microsoft, this company deserves still more respect. Everything that they do seems to be free as such, what do you stand to lose in going about this awesome network of the now civilized World Wide Web? My point exactly and it is exactly this type of bravado that we will see America as well as the entire world be a better place to which technology isn't aloud to languish.

The You Tube and Google Video revolution is defintiely interesting, but will it be anything more than scratchy videos?

YouTube expands types of advertising

This just in from CNN.com and that being YouTube is allowing commercials on its now famous video website. In what was basically an expected move on part of the fledging company, YouTube is confident that with the highly customized setting that is the internet, the new advertisement will only increase the organic concept of the website.
