Google Is Going Postal In Sweden

An anonymous reader writes "Google will start to collaborate with the Swedish Postal Service (Swedish original) to sell direct marketing to small businesses, both in the form of fliers (delivered by the Swedish Postal Service) and keyword advertising in Google Search. The area of distribution for the fliers is selected in Google Maps. Google will also will provide templates for the design of the fliers.The idea was concieved within the Swedish Postal Service."

That's all we need

A google search could result in targeted marketing flyers through the door. Imagine all the slashdotters explaining to their mums why they are suddenly getting so many personally addressed letters from pornographic publishers.

Agreed, I had nightmares about Uwe Boll making another film when I read that.

Sadly this has been refuted by science.

'I' before 'E', except after 'C'. It's conceived, not concieved.

Seriously, how difficult is it to find an editor who can spell?

1. There are so many weird exceptions
2. This is slashdot, where "editor" is a suggestion. Want better spelling and editing - hire a foreigner.
3. You must be new here
