Eh, I think there could be a good reason to do it. Advertising,  
especially of this nature, can also be about findability, information.  
If we find that we have something and lack an adequate channel to get  
the information out there, this might be something to consider.

That said, we don't really have anything that needs advertising at the  
moment. Certainly not things for which we are already a high up hit on  
google- a waste of time is a waste of time.

OTOH, if, you know, we find we need human subjects for some projects,  
this might be a good way of finding them... ;)
