I probably heard of rooftop ads at some point in the past, but thanks to services like Google Earth and MSN Virtual Earth, advertising that is visible from above is becoming incredibly popular. A few days ago Bryce posted this picture of a Target ad, and today Jeff Clavier discovered an eBay auction for a rooftop ad:

Well, an auction for a one year ad placement is now on eBay here. It was listed 3 days ago by a company called Roofshout – whose domain has been registered 4 days ago.

Scam or market test ?
