Google is one of the biggest search engines and they have found new and ingenious ways to expand to other areas of the Internet. Now they are trying something new in order to monetize large amounts of content found on the Internet. The new project is Google Adsense for Game.
The new ads will be able to run in Adobe Flash games above the browser. For months Google has been testing new formats and today they have launched on over a dozen games that are affiliated with Playfish, Zynga, Konami, and Demand Media.
Google is working on digitally archiving millions of pages from old newspapers. T extensive project began in 2006. They started their work with the Washington Post and the New York Times to index all of the existing digital archives and to allow them to be found when searched for through Google’s technology.
Now they are working harder then ever to expand the initiative. Their goal is to make every story that was ever printed available; “from the smallest local weekly paper up to the largest national daily,” according to a post on Google’s official blog.
Apple sent out a mass e-mail to a handful of reporters inviting them to a special event September 9th in San Francisco. The invitation showed a man dancing while he was listening to an iPod and the words “Playing Soon” and “Let’s Rock” were displayed.
Analysts began to think amongst themselves to try to guess what it is that Apple has hopes to reveal and how big it could be. “It’s got to be new iPods. That’s 100 percent certain,” Needham & Co analyst Charles Wolf told Reuters. “The only question I cannot answer is whether they will also do new MacBooks.”
