I think Google is a bit scared too Internet Advertising just does not work well. That is way in the next few year they will look more like Time-warner Cable than a search company.

Well, Google at least has the advantage that people go there to look for things. Sometimes these things can be bought. I never go to Facebook to look for something that can be bought.

You know, the thought just came to my mind: Women's magazines are about 90% ads, but the ads are pretty. I wonder if you could make a site that was 90% pretty ads. Hell, make it 100% ads...

You are right. It is mostly eye-candy. But I don't think people care if the images are commercial or not. In that sense, I think Pinterest might be missing out.
