Offline Print Ad Experiment Disappointed Google

Google Fumbles Offline from BusinessWeek covers how during an investor call held yesterday, Google senior vice president of product management Jonathan Rosenberg mentioned the experiment in print ads "probably hasn't taken off as fast as we would like."
