PabloDamus Predicts Google TV. YouTube Coming To A Plasma Near You.
January 9, 2008 by Pablo Palatnik
It was Aug. 10, 2007 when I made a blog post about Google TV. This was a post I made based on the idea I had about Google making its own TV and how it would monetize channels. Today it came true in a sense. Forbes reports (amongst many others,) Google will launch Google TV.
Google has partnered with Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., the world largest plasma manufacturer. “Google and YouTube will provide Matsushita with special servers for transmitting high-quality images for large-screen TVs. The latest Matsushita Net-enabled TVs will allow users to click into the YouTube and Picasa Web sites by pressing a button on the remote control,” reports Forbes.
Here is the kicker. You can bet and predict on almost anything that Google will either make its own or have share in any space that allows for advertising to take place.
My next predictions are as follows from Google:
-Google Radio. This will maybe be in the form of sirius satellite radio where you may have to purchase the radio, have access to hundreds of different channels, talk radio, etc. and advertisers will bid on the adwords interface for spots.
-Google Newspaper. Google being one of the largest hubs of news in the world, Google may distribute its newspaper nationwide, again, with an advertising model on adwords for ad space. Newspaper may be free of charge.

those googlers think of everything…
Brad, yes they do…whatever you’re thinking now, 10 people at Google are working on it.
haha love the pic!
My prediction? Google Magazine – an online marketers bible for advertising, tips, and how to sections to help those starting in the biz, as well as those who are already experts.
oh, in case I didn’t make it clear, this will be a PRINT magazine… not online, although that too!
