Google Ad on iGoogle
May 27, 2009 Author: Adam Lee
First new post in a while – sorry i’ve been a bit slack lately!
I am planning on a complete site overhaul in the near future so watch this space.
I’ve just seen a message at the top of my iGoogle saying:
‘Students: Submit your photos for the Google Photography Prize’ with a link to this page – http://www.google.com/intl/en/landing/photographyprize/
My first thought was with all the data Google collects about me I would have thought they could make this a bit more targeted – I haven’t been a student for some time.
After some consideration it was decided this probably wouldn’t be the best approach – I mean seeing an ad like this might scare the shit out of me!
Adam – we know you have bought a sony SLR camera and have been taking pictures on Brighton seafront. Submit your photos for the Google Photography Prize’
Interesting to see Google using iGoogle in this way, will be interesting to see if this is adapted into another advertising platform in future.
