ad inventory will never be sufficient to justify the level of targeting because so many people who use youtube are from countries advertisers don't care about or are children, etc.

Today, Google is announcing a "pilot program" on the Google Play app store which will allow app makers to purchase a spot at the top of search results. The program will work very similarly to how ads work on a traditional Google search, but instead of highlighting websites, developers can highlight their apps. That means that individual search terms will be bid on by advertisers, and sponsored results will have a small "Ad" tag on them.

Google says that the pilot program will begin in a very limited way, accessible only to a pre-chosen "pilot group" that has already begun pushing their apps via ads in traditional web searches — but it's reasonable to assume it'll open up to more app makers in relatively short order.

Google needs to pump out stories about the cool stuff it does to keep up its image of being an exciting technology innovator instead of the world's largest advertising company. this is becoming less and less effective.

Here at Google we have always been proud of inventing the future, but I think this announcement really tops everything else we've ever done. Ladies and gentlement, I give you - the next great breakthrough in non-human intelligence!
