In an attempt to bring more relevance (and extract higher performance) to its AdWords advertising platform, Google is experimenting with a new kind of behavioral targeting technology, Susan Wojcicki, Google’s VP of Product Management (for all advertising-related efforts) said in a roundtable discussion with reporters earlier today.
For instance, if you open your browser and search for Italian Hotels, and followed that with keyword search for weather, the results will show “Italian Weather related” advertisements next to them. Wojcicki said that no user information is stored by Google, and this is on-the-fly ads that are displayed. Close the window (or the search session), and the relevance goes away, she said.
Wojcicki explained that these ads results are tied to a searcher’s intent at that moment, as shown by various search keywords. These are some of the efforts being undertaken by Google to improve and enhance its core business: advertising.
PS: My full report will appear later, including Wojcicki’s very candid thoughts on online video advertising, and why it is a work in progress.

Adult movie makers in Japan have apparently found a way to have their wares mass-produced on Blu-ray Discs, something that has been hampered, to date, by Sony’s antipornography policies. A Japanese company is creating adult films on the Blu-ray Disc format at a disc production facility in Taiwan that has the Sony equipment, according to reports from the recent Adult Treasure Expo 2007 in Japan.

I remember why I uninstalled Cocomment months ago. It often interfered with my ability to write comments.
Here’s what’s going on. I just tried to upload a comment over on CNET, and another one here to respond to someone. But Cocomment is giving me an error message on both and keeping my comments from uploading.
Cocomment should NEVER keep a comment from being posted. Even if the service is down. But it does. It’s very frustrating.
Until I stop seeing these kinds of error messages I can not recommend Cocomment which pains me greatly because it provides a great deal of utility when it does work.
To be fair, they are loading up version 2 today. Hopefully that fixes this bug. But for now it’s frustrating me to no end. Luckily I have a browser that doesn’t have Cocomment loaded. Praise be Parallels on the Mac!

Sun Microsystems has chalked up its third profitable quarter in a row, a testament that the company’s turnaround plan is taking hold. Profits for the server company’s fourth quarter were $329 million, or 9 cents a share — a significant step up from the 5 cents a share analysts expected. It is also a 180-degree turn from where the company was a year ago, when it reported a net loss of $301 …

I did a little Twittergram shortly before noon just as Facebook was coming back up off of a 1.5-hour outage. Twittergrams are 30-second audio messages that I can send to my followers on Twitter. I talked with one of the engineers inside Facebook (we were trying to get him to come down to lunch) and they said that they had a problem with a code update that they rolled up last night — the way they were talking I don’t think it was a hack, but rather an update that didn’t go well. Folks over on TechMeme are saying that Facebook might have been hacked, though. I’ll keep talking with Facebook PR in case any more news comes out.
By the way, the first place I go to get news is on Twitter now. The flow there is incredible and generally stories get discussed there long before they do on blogs.
Oh, and Facebook PR has a group that they’ve invited some of the press and bloggers into. Here’s an official statement that was just posted to that group:
This morning, we temporarily took down the Facebook site to fix a bug we identified earlier today. This was not the result of a security breach. Specifically, the bug caused some third party proxy servers to cache otherwise inaccessible content. The result was that an isolated group of users could see some pages that were not intended for them. The site has now been restored and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.”
