Cool. Thnx. This was news to me, have never seen it before. Perhaps it is a slow roll out.

I agree with you. An opt out once it starts would probably be the best solution for this specific format.

I noticed this ad format, nearly a month ago. While initially I loved the ads (they were really sweet ones ), I agree that this can get annoying for users.

I think if users have had a choice to skip ad right away if they so desired, it would serve the purpose of a compromise between google’s interest and users’ interest.

I blogged about this format here: http://techwithfun.blogspot.com/2010/03/is-google-experimenting-video-ads-in.html
