Think Google want to become a bigger daddy?
I was looking for a daVinci-related theme for the blog here, and came across one on an Indian site. Being nosy, I was just wandering around, when this article on a Google spoof caught my eye. It really did make me LOL…
Do you think Google is getting too big for it’s boots? Big brother and big daddy rolled into one? You’d better start thinking… The BBC has recently reported that Google’s UK income from advertising is set to overtake Channel 4 (the second largest commercial TV station), and will overtake ITV (the largest) in less than 18 months. And people thought that advertising was dead on the web 4 years ago!
And just like the TV companies want to make adverts that are PVR-proof (to stop you skipping past them), you can be sure that Google wants to do it’s best to make you click on their adverts. Blocking content seems like such an easy thing to do. Firefox-plugin anyone?
