Google starts to advertise after Microsoft/Yahoo deal



We spend alot of our time looking for articles and news from websites all around the world as Australian news sites are pretty crap. We were up at 2.30 am (Aust time) reading the Bing/Yahoo joint venture on www.telegraph.co.uk which we find useful, when we noticed an advert for Google appear on the right hand side.

The Telegraph allow Australian adverts to be shown to surfers from Australia, which really pisses us off. ( It's like going to visit America, watching TV and seeing Australian adverts, when you want the whole experience.) anyway, they put up an ad that took us to a new feature. We were taken to here: http://www.google.com.au/landing/searchtips/
via this page.

What we also found interesting was that the advert only appeared as we were reading this article
