If you've been using Google (NSDQ: GOOG) to search for subjects across the web and on Twitter at the same time, you are out of luck, for now at least.

The company is an ad-matching service that's based on the idea that people will sit through Web video ads to get a reward like a coupon or discount from the brand.  Founded in 2009, AdGenesis is announcing today that it has linked up with newspaper insert Parade, which it hopes will be the first of many publishers to white-label the service. The way it works: The consumer signs up for the service on Parade.com, where it's called Parade Video Rewards. When she meets the criteria of a participating advertiser based on buying habits she's shared, she gets an e-mail containing a link to the video ad (typically a 15- or 30-second ad) on the host's site. Once she verifies that she's watched the ad, she gets a reward, at which point the advertiser is also charged. The partner site gets traffic and a cut of the ad revenue.
