I just read Robert X. Cringely's Jan. 5, 2006, column, "A Commercial Runs Through It: Google's Grand Plan to Take Over TV Through Advertising." He argues that Google is in a great position to be the company that makes it possible to deliver targeted TV advertising in the near future.
This column is part of a fascinating string of Google-related articles by Cringely analyzing Google's strategy. Previous must-read articles:
