The rumors were right: Google took the bold step of running a Super Bowl ad in the third quarter of the game today, marking its first main push into TV advertising and a new frontier of marketing for the company that has triumphed in online ads above all else.
Google CEO Eric Schmidt's Tweet hinted at the ad yesterday, reading: "Can't wait to watch the Superbowl tomorrow. Be sure to watch the ads in the third quarter (someone said 'Hell has indeed frozen over.')"
