Even More Details On Google Audio, Plus Screenshots
Google’s new music service, Google Audio, has generated a big buzz this morning. And while details are still a bit cloudy, we got hold of a couple of screenshots that gives us a little peek into what the features of the service will look like. For instance, when a user searches for U2 on Google, the results show 4 of their songs which can be played with either LaLa or iLike. When you click on any of the 4 songs, the player of your choice pops up. The player includes an option to purchase that song.
According to TechCrunch’s source, Google’s Product Marketing Manager, Matt Ghering, sent these screenshots to various partners to show them what Google Audio might look like. At this point, it’s not clear whether or not this is the final look. More »
YouTube Releases New Advertising Product Named Call-To-Action Overlays
Today, YouTube is releasing a new free addition that some of us are going to either love or hate; a new advertising product named Call-To-Action Overlay. It is basically a semi-transparent pop-up bar at the bottom of videos, linking viewers to any site you choose. I know what you’re thinking, you’ve seen that before, right? Yes, but that was part of YouTube’s Ads by Google to make profit. This new feature actually allows any user to link to a site they choose. For example, if we were to upload a video, we could add an overlay linking back here, to the site or any specific article for that matter. Before, you had to include links in the summary of the video on the right side of the page. You will be able to place these overlay ads on a video by entering it to YouTube’s CPC Promoted Videos program.
