This is a brilliant video on some of the cool things you can do to research your marketing using Pay-Per-Click ads.  In fact, you can even name companies or products purely by letting the market show you what name they want.

If you’re not familiar with Kevin Rose or Tim Ferriss, you probably know about them but didn’t realize it.  Kevin Rose is the founder of Digg.com, the leading social bookmarking platform.  Tim Ferriss is the author of “The 4-Hour Work Week”.

Google AdSense Now Officially Twittering @adsense

Thankfully, no.  At least, not yet.
