Why Google will put ads on its home page [CNet]
I have only just managed to get my severe involuntary chuckling fits under control.
They began on August 14th when I read these words from Google’s Eric Schmidt, in response to a question from CNBC’s somewhat comatose Jim Kramer as to whether the company would consider placing ads on its home page:
“People wouldn’t like it. We prioritize the end user over the advertiser.”
And I prioritize the ketchup over the fries. I eat it raw and unsullied, guzzling it straight from the bottle as if it were cabernet.
I’m astonished that anyone would have even the smallest flicker or twitter of doubt that, one day, Google will slap ads from the highest bidder on its home page.
