Google Seeking Patent On Ads For Street View
,----[ Quote ]
| theodp writes "CNET reports that Google is
| 'musing' about placing ads in Street View. The
| search giant reportedly floated the idea in a
| presentation to marketing and ad agency types in
| Europe a few months back. So will virtual
| billboards be popping up in Google Street View? A
| Google rep said the company had no current plans
| to put ads in Street View, but you might want to
| take that with a grain of salt. On Thursday, the
| USPTO revealed that Google is seeking patent
| protection for Claiming Real Estate in Panoramic
| or 3D Mapping Environments for Advertising. From
| the patent application: 'The street view display
| server can locate an ad image within the image
| database and overlay the region of interest with
| the associated ad image.' Connect the dots, and
| it sure sounds like a plan, doesn't it? Selling
| the Brooklyn Bridge is a pretty good scam â
| selling a view of it is even better!"
