Wow, Google runs ads on Television? I consume all of my video media from the Internet these days so I guess I just didn't know, but that's surprising to me. Do they run the same type of promotional videos that you find on YouTube about Chrome, or are they totally different adverts?

Here in India, Google has run a full-page print ad recently.

I noticed that their print ad drops the http:// from the URL just like the browser itself.

Google ran an ad during the Super Bowl this year.

That was a very good ad. On top of being well-produced and sweet, it taught people how to use the auto-suggest feature.

You make a good point, I consume all my television via streaming services, too. It's possible that the adverts are different for that compared to broadcast TV. A cursory web search for Chrome TV ads does appear to confirm they're broadcasting them though.

they ran a massive campaign in the parisian subway a couple of months ago

And in the London tube over Christmas. Chrome marketing is pretty awesome.

Yep, we are fairly UK-centric. I should have mentioned that.

and they had a road-side billboard near my house recently. Clearly going after the IE6 demographic :)
