All I can say is wow. That commercial is well worth the millions they are paying for it. Most effective search engine commercial I have ever seen (and I liked the BING ads...)]]>Feb 6th 2010 10:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/06/googles-superbowl-ad-will-make-you-cry-a-little-bit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/06/googles-superbowl-ad-will-make-you-cry-a-little-bit/Feb 6th 2010 11:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/06/googles-superbowl-ad-will-make-you-cry-a-little-bit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/06/googles-superbowl-ad-will-make-you-cry-a-little-bit/Feb 6th 2010 11:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/06/googles-superbowl-ad-will-make-you-cry-a-little-bit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/06/googles-superbowl-ad-will-make-you-cry-a-little-bit/
"nowhere near the caliber I would expect during the Superbowl."

Most Super Bowl commercials range from the juvenile, idiotic or offensive. They rarely live up to the big stage (or money). What does it tell you when the most hyped SB commercial of late was the one with talking babies.

At least this one was well done.]]>Feb 6th 2010 11:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/06/googles-superbowl-ad-will-make-you-cry-a-little-bit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/06/googles-superbowl-ad-will-make-you-cry-a-little-bit/They are not simply 'advertising' search. It's about branding Google as a company that understand us and our values.

As bored as I am right now, I ran though the same search terms and it is d*mn near exact as in the commerical. On difference--albeit annoying is the top 5 lines in OUR version are "Sponsored Links"!!

Otherwise, the maps, the results, the speed in results, the auto compelte--all 98% the SAME-- probably one of the most accurate commercials of all time IMO.]]>Feb 7th 2010 1:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/06/googles-superbowl-ad-will-make-you-cry-a-little-bit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/06/googles-superbowl-ad-will-make-you-cry-a-little-bit/Feb 7th 2010 1:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/06/googles-superbowl-ad-will-make-you-cry-a-little-bit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/06/googles-superbowl-ad-will-make-you-cry-a-little-bit/
Bing's Bird's Eye is cool, but I found it useless. But, it is really cool.
However, I do admit that Bing map is faster than Google map.
For all practical purposes though, I really don't care. ]]>Feb 7th 2010 1:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/06/googles-superbowl-ad-will-make-you-cry-a-little-bit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/06/googles-superbowl-ad-will-make-you-cry-a-little-bit/It is about branding. If you want your company to survive 25+years, you need it, period.

What I find most impressive about this ad is:
a. doesn't need catchy music, cool artwork, flashy stuff to create the brand.
b. doesn't need a celebrity to endorse it.
c. doesn't need a gimick to get your attention (it's a fast rate).
d. It's simple (guys get it) and has a story (gals get it).
e. just shows the product "in action" as is. No soft lighting, sped up sequences (I just did a few of those queries and they show up as fast), no photochopped images, no voice dubs. Pretty shows you the real deal.
f. It's not political (like doing searches on N. Orleans for instance).

As if it wasn't your caliber, well *you're* talking about it (e.g. posted), which was the mission of the ad--Google: mission accomplished.]]>Feb 7th 2010 1:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/06/googles-superbowl-ad-will-make-you-cry-a-little-bit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/06/googles-superbowl-ad-will-make-you-cry-a-little-bit/Feb 7th 2010 2:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/06/googles-superbowl-ad-will-make-you-cry-a-little-bit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/06/googles-superbowl-ad-will-make-you-cry-a-little-bit/

I'm still surprised that they didn't click on the 'I'm Feeling Lucky' button once. I figured that they could have worked that into the commercial fairly easy.

I'm guessing that "hell freezing over" refers to Google having a television ad, since their long history of success has been driven mostly on word-of-mouth.]]>Feb 7th 2010 12:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/06/googles-superbowl-ad-will-make-you-cry-a-little-bit/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/06/googles-superbowl-ad-will-make-you-cry-a-little-bit/
He is referring to the saints winning the super bowl but it is a reference to the late saints broadcaster Bernard Dilibeto.

Bernard was the person who started wearing a paper bag over his head at games which soon became a popular way of bashing the "aints"

He said that hell would freeze over when the saints made the super bowl... lol so Eric Schmidt has nothing evil or surprising planned besides rooting for his team.
