So what wasn’t announced was any timeline. Is this 1 week or 6 months away? #ppcchat CC @adwords

I’m looking forward to seeing the @BingAds response to this. I’m sure they’ll have one, even if it’s just satirical 🙂 #ppcchat

I know we’re excited about these new tools – but it will mean nothing to clients. #ppcchat
