Google Targets TV Advertising

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Sunday August 20, 2006 @05:35AM from the welcome-to-the-googleverse dept.

mytrip writes to tell us that Google may have television advertising in the cross-hairs. CEO Eric Schmidt recently stated that viewers shouldn't have to stand for tv commercials that are a "waste of your time" and says Google is planning to deliver "targeted measurable television ads." I just hope I can still skip them with my TiVO in a couple years.

Google may have television advertising in the cross-hairs.

In the cross-hairs? Why? Do they want to kill tv advertising? I suppose it's a big competitor for advertising bucks,but that's just overkill...
