    About

    Hello all and welcome to NITN. Hovo and I are new to the blog scene and have lots to offer. I think its safe to say this site is still in ‘beta’ for the time being. However make sure you keep checking back because you never know what will pop up here. Most of my articles will likely revolve around PC, Wii, and XBOX360 related content. I guess I’ll throw some PS3 STUFF in there, but I’m not gonna lie…Not the biggest fan. I don’t condone piracy or anything like that, but I’ll also hook you up with links so you can all “test” the games out first. I’ll say no more on that topic…just check back for new content!! Same of course goes for Movies. I’ll put up some reviews, release dates, trailers, magic links ; )…the works. Anything interesting that comes my way will definately make it onto this blog at one point or another. Just keep an eye open and keep checking back!

Google to sell display ads in Web videos

Although Google has been talking about video advertising since May of last year, it has only now decided to introduce the service to its AdSense program.

After a long review period, Google has decided to use the solution the company is already using for advertising on YouTube called InVideo. With InVideo, ads are shown taking up a position on the lower edge of the video that is playing. The ads shown are either animated with images or just text overlay advertisements. Clicking on an ad will either take you to another webpage or open up a new advertisement video as an overlay on the video you are watching.

The service will be known as AdSense for video and is currently in beta. Website owners can choose to include the advertising on videos they already have or sign up to have videos supplied to their site that include advertising. Google sees this as a way of adding extra content to your site as well as earning you revenue from advertising.

So far, Google has signed up 20 major customers for the service, including the advertising agency YuMe Networks and Brightcove, which counts Time Warner on its customer list.
