It’s been quite some time since Google Adwords starting looking at new ad formats via their AdWords New Ad Formats Initiative , well it seems like it is paying off as just last Thursday they announced a whole new ad format called Media Ads . The initiative is working to bring all manner of new formats that bring more relevant ads to the SERP pages making the ads more useful etc. Essentially they want to better match the ads with the searchers so that everyone is happier all around
AdoTube released their Q4 2010 Format Index on video advertising.

Vid.ly , a new automatic transcoding, universal URL service from Encoding.com is simply genius.
