Is The Google Drinking The Starbucks?

Advertising The Google seems about as necessary to me as advertising air.

Apparently, this thought is also alive inside the company. According to The Wall Street Journal, Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page killed a “splashy TV ad” last summer that was meant to run during the Olympics.

But there are signs that the internal debate is causing Google to shake-off of its reluctance to advertise. The search giant has recently held discussions with several Madison Avenue agencies, including Wieden + Kennedy and the boutique firm Taxi New York, about new efforts to promote some products.

Whoa, Wieden just danced with a coffee client who ultimately didn’t believe in running advertising. The Google sounds like it might be another one, although that remains to be seen.

I’m sure the marketing people inside The Google know they’ll need advertising as the company moves beyond search. Their new cell phone, for instance, is a great candidate for TV ads, splashy or otherwise.

Moderator’s Planned Book Becomes a Topic of Debate

Gwen Ifill, moderator of Thursday’s debate, is the author of a coming book, “The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama.”

The Obama Channel…All Barack, All the Time

The ad above, in which Obama is doing a really bad job of pretending like he’s not reading from a prompter (not that it matters &#151 just noting), is what you’ll see on the Obama channel, which according to Tribble is the latest addition to the Dish Network.

The spot is on repeat on TDN’s channel 73, and talks about his economic plan? According to Politico, TDN offered Obama and McCain the same opportunity, and the Obama camp was the only one to bite. Apparently, they think paying for what they can get for free on YouTube is a good idea. Hmm.

Tribble said he was sitting a bar, where the barkeep was playing the station as a joke. Guess it’s working? (Thanks Bra!)
