Google's Sheryl Sandberg on future of advertising

The Read/Write Web has a post worth reading on Sheryl Sandberg (Google's Global VP of Sales and Operations) speaking about the future of advertising @ the Supernova conference.
For I know that you are lazy (otherwise you had already found a better blog than mine), here's a very short summary that won't teach you anything but you could still say "of course I read it":
  • Advertisers need to get better at creating a 1:1 experience for their users. As an example, she cited the work that Cadillac did with their MyCadillac campaign.
  • Advertisements need to continue increasing personalization. This was surprising to me, given that I don't believe Google has publicly announced any plans to incorporate behavioral targeting into their ad delivery system.
  • Users are demanding the delivery of information to be an experience and advertising must respond to it, just like content needs to.
On related news, Read/Write Web has just become my primary tech news resource winning the race against TechCrunch for I like R/WW style (fewer but much deeper posts) most.
