Microsoft: No, We're Not Abandoning Our Anti-Google Campaign
Reports flew on the Internet today that Microsoft would kill off the controversial effort when a report from Bay Area news site KQED said that Microsoft had stopped buying media space to run the ads on television, newspapers, and social media.
Scroogled ads had criticized the search giant for accepting payment for product listings and scanning users' emails for keywords to target ads.
"That part is about finished," Stefan Weitz, Microsoft senior director of online services, told KQED's Laird Harrison.
Microsoft, however, tells us it's just gearing up for another round. For now, that sounds like posting more Web videos to Microsoft's Scroogled.com site.
Here's Microsoft's statement on how Scroogled will continue:
