Microsoft ending 'scroogled' ad campaign
Comment | Print | Email to a Friend | Font Size: AAMicrosoft has ended its advertising war against Google. The ad campaign known as "Scroogled" is no longer being featured on TV or in newspapers. While it doesn't seem to have had an impact on Google's market share, at least by one measure Microsoft's ad campaign has been a success.
Microsoft originally set out to get 25,000 signatures on its Care2 petition. The petition was to "tell Google to stop going through your email to sell ads." Over 110,000 people ended up signing the petition, marking the campaign as a success.
If you haven't seen the ads, one is embedded below. The attacking nature of the ads are reminiscent of a political campaign and seemed to backfire on Microsoft. What are your thoughts on the ad campaign?
