It's All About the Inventory, Baby

I have not spent much time pretending to be a highly paid Googlian. But right off the top of my head I can see many new avenues opening up -- and none of them represent much of a departure from AdSense. Take local
search for example.I went into Google's Local Search and typed in a hunted for local pizza parlors. It predicably gave me a list of places along with phone numbers and a map. But which one to pick?
If this were television, we might watch a 30-second commercial. Wait, why not let me click on a 'video' option and see the spot? Hmmmm, some believe that video is too difficult to produce and stream. I am not one of those people, but how about placing a link that shows advertiser photos!
Think about this: EBay is aquiring Skype in part to enhance revenues with some form of a pay per call business model. Google can do the exact same thing. But here is the kicker: it is not limited to loyal auction sellers to pay for that service -- its open to every business who wants customers and doing so through local search is very AdSense like.
