Now Google has video ads!

Will you be jumping on this train?

I hope they give publishers the ability to not display these things, Unlike when they introduced flash adverts and the only way to block them was to email google and tell them the specific adverts you wanted blocked.

Also, Does anyone else think this is just a way for them to seamlessly introduce video adverts into video.google.com?

Looks like a good idea, As long long as they give publishers more options.
At the moment it seems google have forgot about publishers and concentrate on advertisors.

That's what I thought.

... but hey, doesn't mean it's not a good thing. In fact, I quite like the idea from an advertisers and user's point of view. Obviously video ads aren't anything new, but contextual video ads - I like it!

This is little off topic, but...

Who knows, maybe that's another step to turn Internet into a very 'peculiar' online television.

Yeah that could be the case.
The next step could be to put "ad breaks" in the videos on google video.

I must say I'm interested in this, We'll see how it works out...
