Bet this works out as well as the newspaper fiasco.

They aren't exactly video ads. Google will be distributing MTV videos that contain ads, and they'll be doing it (initially, anyway) only on handpicked sites that reach young people who might be interested in watching the videos. It doesn't sound like that big a deal, really--it's just a limited video/ad syndication experiment, as opposed to something like a large-scale rollout of "rich media" ads.

If the popularity of these video ads increase, it might at the cost of the text ads. So we need to watch out.

AdWords/AdSense advertisers and publishers are already competing with display banners and skyscrapers, popups, popunders, interstitials, and all kinds of other traditional and "rich media" ads. Also, the real strength of text ads is the fact that they allow very narrow targeting with zero production costs. A searcher or a reader of a product review on a content site might well click on a text ad for a product or service that interests him, but will he take the time to watch a less relevant video clip? In the offline world, TV commercials with high production values haven't put the direct-mail industry out of business. It all comes down to "different tools for different tasks."
