Google adds videos ads…

… in your dreams!!! Or at least in this guys mockup. I love the widescreen concept below, and I’d love to get a full-screen advertisement like this provided a) it wasn’t auto-launched and b) it collapsed after 5 seconds.

As I said earlier, I think the days of Google going light and not pushing their products hard are coming to an end. Google has very aggressive targets to meet, shareholders who paid top dollar for their stock, and huge expectations. They are going to have to really start pushing their services and maximizing revenue at some point, and promoting Google Checkout with a $10 coupon on the home page was just the start in my mind.

… and I’m 100% cool with it. Frankly I think Google doesn’t have enough advertising in their products.

Toro, a bulldog

Hello. My name is Jason.

I'm currently on the board of social shopping site ThisNext. You might remember me from my days as editor and CEO of the Silicon Alley Reporter magazine.

Mike Arrington and I partnered on the TechCrunch40 event in September. We're going to do it again next year.

This is my blog, this is where I live. You should also listen to my podcast.
