Google to Distribute Online Video Ads

sufijazz writes to mention an AP story about Google's plan to start distributing online video ads. From the article: "The video expansion, announced late Monday, will affect thousands of Web sites that rely on Google to post ads related to the surrounding material on a page. For instance, a news story about housing might prompt Google to display an ad for real estate agents. Google isn't allowing the video ads to appear on its own Web site -- a heavily trafficked destination that produced 58 percent of its $2.25 billion in revenue during the first three months of this year."

Google Briefcase

[Anonymous Coward]

Semi-offtopic but does anyone know if Google has any kind of "briefcase" functionality like yahoo does? I'd like to be able to keep my resume and other such documents or files available to me online (without having to email them to myself).

To sell what product exactly ? In any case, I think it is so popular just because the woman in it is attractive in an off beat kind of way.

Google Bias

[gfxguy]

Expect to see ads for Democratic nominees in the next election, but don't expect to see any for Republicans (Google will run ads criticizing republicans, but not democrats).

Sorry, don't mean to turn this into a political discussion, but with all the Chinese censorship, and all the stuff I've been reading about liberal bias at Google, I find it harder and harder to be sympathetic towards them.

Don't hate me for having a different opinion. We should be encouraging discourse, not shouting down viewpoints we disagree with.
