WPP joined a growing rank of players opposed to DCLK/GOOG’s merger plans. Maybe what they have to say makes sense, but it should be noted, WPP invested in Video Egg. Video Egg claims to have invented - by way of a patent - the video ad overlay Google’s YouTube unit will now be launching with content producers (like WatchMojo.com).
Is that a coincidence. Actually… probably, but one worth noting nonetheless.
Update: Forgot to add, I think Video Egg is jockeying to be bought out by Google. More on this here.
