I hope this isn’t a sign Google is turning down the wrong path. It think it is more likley to be a case of them protecting their ad revenue by making surethey would always be able to do it or just filing for patents years ago that seemed useful. Stay Good Google!

Maybe they wanted to leverage that in case of problems with the Overture issue or just wanted to file it so that they have to deal with an Overture part 2?

Its true people have been doing it for sometime, but the fact that the patent info is public means that they probably filed the patent about 3 years ago, I have seen a few of my patents, which seemed pretty awesoem at the time, seem like buttering bread three years later
