Google Knows You Have A Flu. Google Knows You Have An STD, too.

Remember the Eye of Sauron? If you say “Eye of Sauron” ten times fast. It sounds like “Google”.
Well, not really.
But you get the point.
Google whetted the appetites of advertisers this week by introducing its “ability” to predict disasters and epidemics marketing opportunities for drug companies.
– OR –
Google fired a warning shot basically saying: ” if you want to know how to spend money during these tough times, you better use AdWords … or DoubleClick … * giggle* … oh we own that too…”.
Basically, Microsoft and Yahoo! have no rebuttal for two reasons: one Microsoft trying to bluff Yahoo!, the other reason is that Yahoo! is trying to call Microsoft’s bluff. So, Google is digging its own road right now to provide a clear product offering for advertisers who will see their ad budgets tightened by this new depression economic downturn.
