last100: Google unveils YouTube ads; they’re not that bad

    I believe they are geo-targeted, as I don't see them here in East Europe.

    Which is a good thing, since knowing that most of the early adopters for this method will be targeted towards U.S based households which leaves the rest of the world without ads for a little bit longer.

    Doesn't seem to be too intrusive at all...and especially if they are contextualized, could even make them useful.

    Not bad? They're horrible! I hated when similar ads came in the middle of TV shows now they are popping up on YouTube! At least with YouTube you can close the ad right away. I think ultimately the InVide advertising on YouTube will be a complete failure -> http://www.russellheimlich.com/blog/why-youtube...
