Relatedly several users have also mentioned that Google plans to start selling ads for cell phone-targeted websites. "The company said that its new product, AdSense for Mobile, would establish a cellphone advertising network in which Google would match ads with the content of mobile Web pages, much as it does online. Other Internet giants, including Yahoo and AOLTime Warner, as well as some start-ups, have also created advertising networks tailored for mobile phones."

Press release and repercussions of Mobile AdSense

[Rudd-O]

Since my story didn't get posted, I'll just paste its text here ;-)

"Hours ago, Google announced the launch of AdSense for Mobile, an advertising service in its own class, targeted to mobile users. I took it upon myself to write up a cursory look into the implications of this new class of service, asking myself if it will change the Web advertising landscape."

Presentations done, can we have word processing?

Now that Google have got a Presentations module, I hope they'll go back and make the word processor usable.

Right now it doesn't have proper support for paragraph breaks, which makes it utterly useless for serious word processing.
