Google Jumps into Radio Advertising

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the google-overlord-jokes-abound dept.

Luke PiWalker writes "Just days after Microsoft announced its online advertising entry, Google has announced their entry into the radio industry. Google announced today that it has signed a deal to purchase dMarc Broadcasting Inc. for a cool $102 million. The deal will allow Google to enhance its presence in the advertising industry over to the radio industry. What's even more interesting is that Google says it plans to integrate its highly successful AdSense program with those from dMarc. The Google and dMarc deal is expected to close at the end of the first quarter, 2006."

    Look at the link on the submitter:

    http://www.playfullyclever.com/

    And then you'll see articles like this one:

    "The Problem With Slashdot
    Everyone seems to be bitching about Slashdot these days. Whether it's dupes, digg farming, **Beatles-Beatles spam, or even yours truly, everyone has something to whine about. The problem is that none of these things are really the problem (oops, that's a thinker, don't hurt yourself slashbots)...."

    So it seems this guy is working in the spirit of http://anti-slash.org/ -- but even sneakier -- the guy gets a dupe posted, where it links to his "how to fix Slashdot" webpage.

    What a PLAYFULLY CLEVER bastard!

      Mod parent redundant. Taco has already addressed this:

      Mod Grandparent Up. Taco posted a story on story selection. No one has actually gotten around to doing anything about it yet. This is the second virtual dupe by ScuttleMonkey in under 48 hours.

      Please stay on-topic. :)
      With dupes this blantant, the dupe is the topic. Anyone who mods "dupe" posts as offtopic, clearly doesn't understand how this site functions.
