A couple of weeks ago, early participants in the new AdWords for Video program gathered at the YouTube offices. The ostensible justification for the meeting was a fancy photo shoot, but YouTube executives also gave a little pep talk, laying out their vision to make video advertising available to small businesses. They even let themselves get a little dreamy, imagining a day when video might become as lucrative for Google as search.So what is AdWords for Video? It integrates video campaigns into the AdWords dashboard, where Google's search and display advertisers are already bidding for and managing their campaign. So small businesses can treat video ads as just another campaign that they're running with Google, rather than something big and scary. It could be particularly useful for the ones that already have a big presence on YouTube that they'd like to promote. Specifically, AdWords for Video allows you to buy Google's TrueView ad units, which can appear in YouTube videos, alongside search results, and in the company's display network. read more..

Video Response-Facebook-Youtube
COMMENTARY | A video response from a hurt dad posted on YouTube has gone viral. The video was shot after the dad discovered a disrespectful post left on Facebook by his daughter about how she was treated more like a slave than a child in the home. At the conclusion of the video, the disgruntled Facebook dad takes a 45-caliber handgun and destroys the child's laptop to prove a point. Responses to the video are outrageously supportive, but I can't find one reason to support a father who chooses violence over intelligence when disciplining a child. read more..

Keep Your Game Scores Off My Facebook Feed
COMMENTARY | As someone who works for an internet-based company, at home, I know better than to even get started on Facebook games. It is tempting enough at times to while away hours looking at photos and reading the status updates of friends and family without "going there" with the games. I may just be in the minority, though. read more..

Most Ridiculous Facebook App of the Week: Heineken BeerFriender [VIDEO]
