Google jumps the shark

September 21, 2007

Google Bikini Ads

  1. From we don’t serve ads…
  2. …to we’ll just copy Overture and only do text ads…
  3. …to banner (graphical) ads are crap we’ll never do them…
  4. …to we’re experimenting with banner ads only…
  5. …ok, ok we’re doing some banner ads and video ads and mobile ads…

By the looks of this ad Google’s crossed yet another line. –>

They are on the way to becoming a generic “back of the room” [of Adtech] / informercial-like ad network.

At Lookery we’re getting ready to publicly launch what we’ve been working on for the last month. It’s a bold move. Some will be pissed and some will love it, regardless it’s going to get the advertising world talking.

Looks like Apple may have jumped the shark as well with their ringtones policy…it’s all about the customers until it’s, well, not.
