Google Test In-Video Advertising on You Tube

Just browsing Simon Andrews Blog over at Mindshare and came across this video of Googles Beta in-video advertising program.

Somone had caught it and action and kindly filmed it.

Obviously I would prefer there were no advertising in the middle of my YouTube browsing but i really must say if this is there is one way to go with regard to in video advertising for me this would be it.

Efficient, not very intrusive (well less frustrating than pre-rolls) and even picks up where you left off.

I also noticed that this video was created in 2007. So there must be some reason this has yet to be released. Cold feet Google???
