So here I am on vacation in beautiful Maui enjoying a lazy Saturday afternoon sitting on my lanai facing the ocean reading my New York Times when I come across this article about Google's analyst meeting yesterday.
What intrigued me was the where Google saw the most potential for advertising growth. They said mobile phones. Now this is not news in of itself. But it does remind me of another recent article I read about mobile phones and advertising. Basicly what's in beta testing now is free mobile service in exchange for receiving those pesky SMS mobile text ads. I can see why Google could think that this would be a lucrative market. Image all those teenagers out there with parents screaming at them to control their monthly mobile phone bills. No problem, free service with Google ads.
The question is do you want all those ads disturbing you? And do you want your kids exposed to even more advertising? Think about it.
