Reminder: AuctionBytes does not endorse the products and services featured in the "This & That" column, which often features new Web sites. (Anyone can set up a Web site.)

If you advertise using Google AdWords, you may be interested to know you can now do video advertising. Google has "click-to-play" video ads for AdWords. As Google explains on its Inside AdWords blog, "Now, an owner of a small bed & breakfast in Lake Tahoe can put a video tour of his beautiful chalet right next to an article that talks about skiing the epic slopes of Squaw Valley."
