And my opinion is that People does not like reading on-line, and the proof is Amazon’s monochrome kindle success, which was made of a paper-like LCD. Lets have some other media evolutions such as that Free newspapers that depend on advertising revenue are dominating the market. A 100-year newspapers industry needs to re-invent its but I don't think it will die soon.

Make it innovative, data-rich and easy to use." This venture was doomed from the start. Advertising is an intrusive medium and you can't intrude with "data." People need to be moved, not informed. They can inform themselves, which is why Google search has been so successful.

They are picking up where Google Print Ads left off. Check out their website www.tapinko.com. I was amazed at how easy the process was. Greater Media Newspapers seem to support the product. Here are some articles in case you are interested. I myself think that it is better than Google Print Ads. Hope it is useful. http://www.phillyadclub.com/news_article.php?id=1899 http://www.scommerce.com/tapinko-enters-the-advertising-arena/ Hey UptownSeattle,

Obviously you haven't picked up and enjoyed a newspaper in your life. Otherwise, you wouldn't be speaking for "most of the world." lol.

Bless you. You're absolutely right--they missed the mark by not adding print ads for magazines as well...but to Google's credit, their print program was the best around. Made my company tons of money. Again, I repeat, it will be sorely missed. If anyone from Google is reading this, or my posts, PLEASE BRING THE PRINT PROGRAM BACK. Bigger, better and stronger.

"a few obscure newspapers as participants".....WERE YOU A GOOGLE PRINT ADVERTISER? No, but I am. Did you know 800 newspapers around the country were in involved with Google's print program? No, of course not. Little obscure newspapers like, um, let's see: The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Tribune, The Seattle Times, The Dallas Morning News, and the list goes on and on. In fact, they had every major newspaper offered throughout the United States---the only exception was the Wall Street Journal. I say HOORAY for Google securing the best and biggest (and medium sized) publications across America for their print program. So do your damn research before you spout out what you don't know. Thankfully, others may learn a little from my posts. Seems like there are a lot of "know it alls" on this blog who actually know NOTHING.

My company's demographic fit print. Google print added at least hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue for my company. The interface was intelligently engineered, and we saved many thousands of dollars going through the Google print bidding process with publishers vs. dealing directly with the publishers. I will sorely miss it. Now we have to deal directly with the sales staff of these same publications---NEVER A GOOD DEAL. I will wait for Google to bring print back...but I won't hold my breath. Aren't there any marketers and entrepreneurs who read this blog? I guess we're the only ones who GET IT. It would make sense to you, Mike, if you’re a businessperson who utilizes print advertising.
