AdSense predates the Applied Semantics acquisition

What was the idea of an intern?
The self-service approach to buying AdWords, IIRC. The mail-order lobster nonsense that led to the streamlining of the horribly broken logfile/MySQL system when it became popular. I may be confused -- 'intern' may be the wrong word.
But if you want an example of a 'tipping point' or a critical decision I can't think of much better than Google and their ad sales mechanism.
- paul 19y agoAdSense the product and technology (content targetting) predates the acquisition, which is why the press release is titled, "New Technologies and Engineering Team Complement Google's Content Targeted Advertising Programs". AdSense the trademark may have come from AS, but that's not very relevant. I'm guessing that the "intern" that you are referring to is Salar: http://www.google.com/corporate/execs.html#salar http://www.google.com/corporate/execs.html#salar He was maybe the 10th employee of Google.
