Google Expanding Video Search
Posted on April 5, 2005
Google has announced plans to expand its video search service. Currently Google's video search tool will search through television programs for content. Part of the new service will allow people to submit videos to Google. It is a bold move by Google which seems to have fallen behind in the blogging and social networking battle to Microsoft and Yahoo.
eWeek reports that Larry Page said, "In the next few days we'll start taking video submissions from people. And we're not sure what we're going to get with it."
There is a lot of speculation as to just how popular video will get on the Internet and this new service should offer a good first test. Yahoo also offers a video search tool, and allows video submissions for indexing with RSS Video Enclosures.
