Microsoft today launched a "Don’t Get Scroogled" ad campaign with a web video ad and a website asking people to share stories of bad Google search results. Sadly, this attack ad on Google will back fire, early results seem to be bad for Bing and Microsoft as most comments on their Facebook page and YouTube (ironically funny as the video is uploaded on said Scroogler owned YouTube) are favoring Google, looks like Microsoft Scroogled themselves again.

The website reads:

In the beginning, Google preached, “Don’t be evil“—but that changed on May 31, 2012. That’s when Google Shopping announced a new initiative. Simply put, all of their shopping results are now paid ads. In their under-the-radar announcement, Google admits they’ve now built “a purely commercial model” that delivers listings ranked by “bid price.” Google Shopping is nothing more than a list of targeted ads that unsuspecting customers assume are search results.

The attack ad is too much, with comments like “Google > Bing… Attack ads just show how desperate they are for users” and “Bing is hopeless.. negative marketing will get you nowhere.” You can check out the Scroogled ad above and decide for yourself.

So today is the big Windows 8 official launch and Google was ready for it with a great video ad entitled "Get Your Google Back". Making the switch to Windows 8 but wondering how to get back some of your favorite Google products like Search or Chrome, not to worry Google's got it covered for you.

Want to make Windows 8 more familiar? It only takes a few minutes to put Google Search and Chrome on your Start page. http://www.GetYourGoogleBack.com

King Arthur Flour, a 220-year-old Vermont business, shares enthusiasm for the tradition of baking through the Web, and inspires bakers to discover new items, recipes and techniques.
The Power Of The Web...
Good's agency arm Good/Corps has officially partnered with Google for a series of television spots that promote small businesses. The campaign, which began with Good's presentation to Google about the two organizations' shared vision regarding social value, currently has two spots. The first one, Frank Restaurant, about a mom-and-pop establishment, debuted earlier in the fall. The second, King Arthur Flour, is about a centuries-old startup that gained a new lease of life with its partnership with Google.

The aim of the campaign is to connect Google, an economic powerhouse in its own right, with small businesses with a huge history, like King Arthur Flour, and how these businesses have reinvigorated themselves with the help of Google.

Lyrics:
Yo, I run a few searches before the big flight,
To save me more time on this magical night.
I type [sunrise and city] of my last stop,
I got plenty of time before my last drop.

If I don't know the time in a certain city,
I peep it on search before my chimney shimmy.
Tyle [time and town] before I come into town,
To see if Johnny's in bed before I hit ground.

Go Santa, Santa work it!
Go Santa, Santa search it!

But before I go flying through the frosty air,
I do a weather search to decide what to wear.
Mrs. Clause, should I bring my extra warm down jacket?
[Mrs. Clause]: Hmmm, yes. You should definitely pack it.
And please pack these cookies that I baked for you.
Shhhhh! I researched the recipe with recipe view,
And used the low cal filter, I must admit:
I wanna make sure that jacket still fits!

Go Santa, Santa work it!
Go Santa, Santa search it!

Check one, check two: yes I check twice.
Santa's Google Doc called 'Naughty and nice.'
With control+F, I find a name in the doc n',
I hope I don't have to put coal in a stockin'

When I'm cruising in my sleigh with my hands on the reigns,
Voice input is handy, 'cause typing is a pain.
If on a wish list I spot a gift I never heard: schlittschuhe,
I use the translate app to speak the foreign word.

Go Santa, Santa work it!
Go Santa, Santa search it!
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Ho, Ho, Ho, Ho.

Go Santa, Santa work it!
Go Santa, Santa search it!

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Yeah!

A fantastic new web film created to promote the new Google Fiber, "The Next Chapter of the Internet Starts Here" is a brilliant animated video.

The cars and model installation were built by hand, and filmed at Agua Dolce airport in Santa Clarita, CA. The installation now resides in the Fiber Space in Kansas City, which will be the first U.S city to have the super fast internet service made available too. The song and music is The Cars song "Just What I needed".

Google Fiber starts with Internet speeds 100 times faster than what most Americans have today. In this video, we see the evolution of the Internet represented in three different stages. It started with Dial-Up, grew with Broadband — and with Google Fiber, the possibilities are endless. KC residents can pre-register now at http://www.google.com/fiber

Google introduces us to "Search, Plus Your World" with a new web promo. Transforming Google into a search engine that understands not only content, but also people and relationships. They began this transformation with Social Search, and now Google search is taking another big step in this direction by introducing three new features: Personal results, profiles in search, and people and pages.
I like the music, "We Are Young" by Vassy featuring Tim Myers.

Visit the Grand Canyon on Google Maps thanks to "Trekker;" Google's Android-operated backpack that holds a 15-lens camera system that can be carried around by its team on foot.

"Google Maps is releasing panoramic imagery of one of the world's most spectacular national monuments: the Grand Canyon. These Street View images cover more than 75 miles of trails and surrounding roads, making our map of this area even more comprehensive, accurate and easy to use than ever before.
Take a walk down the narrow trails and exposed paths of the Grand Canyon: hike down the famous Bright Angel Trail, gaze out at the mighty Colorado River, and explore scenic overlooks in full 360-degrees. You'll be happy you're virtually hiking once you get to the steep inclines of the South Kaibab Trail. And rather than drive a couple hours to see the nearby Meteor Crater, a click of your mouse or tap of your finger will transport you to the rim of this otherworldly site.

See how Google Glass actually feels, surprisingly simple. Say "take a picture" to take a picture. Record what you see, hands free. Even share what you see, live.

Directions are right in front of you. Speak to send a message, or translate your voice. Get the notifications that matter most. Ask whatever's on your mind and get answers without having to ask. Google is ready to hand out Google Glass units to non-developer types. But you have to apply. And still pay the Glass Explorer Edition’s $1,500 price tag.

All video footage captured in the promo spot is through Glass, more at http://www.google.com/glass/start

Google introduces us to the newly redesigned Google Play with this cool new web video ad campaign created by Studio G. Check out more of how Google Play puts everything in one place here.

The film was a combination of practical, and post production effects. According to producer Yovel Schwartz, the contraption that stars in the film “did in fact work. It required five or six people to puppeteer on set, all of whom were also involved in building it.” The shoot actually required two cases–”one with the functioning guts and one slightly smaller one that we comped the mechanical innards into during post,” Schwartz says. “Most of what you’re seeing at its base is from a continuous take–take 15 to be precise, with the Rubik’s Cube section being stitched in from take 14.”

Google pumped out two new ads today, the first an ad for the Nexus 7 entitled "Fear Less" where a young boy with a fear of public speaking prepares for a speech assignment for school.
He begins by searching Google for the definition of glossophobia and some of the worlds greatest speakers and their speeches in preparation for his big day at school...and with his new found confidence he can depend on his Nexus 7 and a quick Google search to find out how to ask a girl out.

Searching for the words
through a sea of watchful eyes.
Less is what I Fear.

The second ad released today launches Chromecast which could very well be the easiest way to enjoy online video and music on your TV for only $35. Find out more at google.com/chromecast.
