Adwords Is Dying and Google Knows It (and they are doing something about it) (fastcompany.com)

"Adwords is not dying yet and is actually still trending upwards, but we think Google thinks it might some time in the future."

Couldn't this just be called "Google Places is Getting Better?"

Well, yes Adwords may be dying, but they are also throttling up Rich Media Display ads, which are going to supplement the lack of revenue from adwords.

Ugh, super link baited title.
