Google has come out with its new Google AdWords Interface (still in beta). I played around with it a bit and am liking it better than the current/main interface — it allows you to bounce between more data in less time and lays out the data well.
Here is the note they sent out…

Here is the note Google sent out to AdSense users. I’ll let you know more about it once it is up and running.
Hi,

I was invited to try out Google’s beta for TV advertising yesterday. The term AdWords does not really fit here/anymore, but we’ll look past that for the moment. It looks like you cannot target to local TV at this point. It does seems like this would work okay for cable TV advertising. [...]
The popular mainstream blog, AllThingsD, has posted a note drawing attention to the use of tracking cookies on its website. I think AllThingsD is a model for how mainstreaming media (in their case, The Wall Street Journal) can enter the blogosphere and maintain a balance between the blogger vibe and that of traditional media.
