When having a discussion in MSN messenger, text based adverts appear in the bottom of the chat window. These adverts are completely irrelevant and not once have I been tempted to click them.

I just had the idea that they ought to work from Google's principal of targetted ads, and perhaps pick up keywords from an MSN messenger conversation and then display a relevant ad for that conversation. This way people would click way more often.

One problem I can think of is that you often move through different topics of conversation very quickly, so ads would only be able to have a 10-20 second slot.
