Microsoft Ready To Bring Ads To The Zune Social

Washington (dbTechno) - Microsoft is getting ready to bring advertising to the Zune Social, their music-based social network.

The advertising will be reaching the Zune Social within the next few months, with the ads looking very similar to those currently seen on the Xbox 360’s Xbox Live service, Windows Mobile software, etc.

Microsoft is hoping to expand the Zune Social through advertising, going beyond what they traditionally would display on an Internet search ad.

The trick for Microsoft is to not go too overboard with what they actually do with the advertising on the Zune Social.

They will begin with testing of the ad pages this summer, but no word yet on when it will officially be launched.

They have managed to successfully pull it off on Xbox Live without scaring gamers away, so hopefully Microsoft can do it again on the Zune Social stage.
