YouTube tries inline advertising
Woweeee! GooTube has begun placing advertisements at the bottom of a limited number of movies featured on YouTube. It shouldn’t be all too distracting as just a small text ad appears while watching a video. If you’re the daring type that just sits and watches commercials all day, you will have no problem clicking on the play button next to the ad. The advertisement will start playing in place of the video, and when finished your video will resume. A good point to make is that ads so far will only display when watched on YouTube directly. For instance embedded clips won’t be riddled with advertising.
