"It said its new system, which it calls Engagement Mapping, will measure all the interactions a consumer makes with a Web site before an eventual sale," according to the AP.
Redmond described current ad targeting techniques as Neanderthal, referring in a slightly veiled way to Google’s (NASDAQ: GOOG) AdSense product which sucks up a larger share of marketing dollars on the internet than any other program available.
Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO) tried something similar with it Panama system, but that did not work out well. The Microsoft product may be more clever.
