YouTube contaminates Google’s videos

January 26, 2007

YouTube contaminates Google's videosI have always looked up to Google Video; to me, their videos always set a higher standard. Where else could you go to get 20-30 minute video clips of Scientists and Professors speaking to their class about advancements in technology? Still Google, but now you must sift through the massive database of YouTube drivel to obtain anything useful. 

As sure as it was a house divided amongst itself, Google finds it necessary to integrate YouTube’s collection within their own Google branded video service. Like many other video crawling sites who combine content from all the major services as YouTube, AOL Video, and Myspace Video; Google wants to play the part, and become the leader in online video searching.

“Over time, Google Video will become even more comprehensive as it evolves into a service where you can search for the world’s online video content, irrespective of where it may be hosted,” said Salar Kamangar, Google’s vice president of product management.

In the future, we will not be surprised to see video captured from the deepest corners of the Internet; all brought to you by Google, and only Google.

Robert X. Cringely, host and writer of the hit PBS-TV miniseries Electric Money, believes Google is relying on Web based Video in an effort to become the Internet; saying,  ”It is becoming very obvious what will happen over the next two to three years. More and more of us will be downloading movies and television shows over the net and with that our usage patterns will change.”

Robert’s scary, yet clever piece, When Being a Verb is Not Enough, claims that Google controls more network fiber than any other organization, and believes that it’s part of Google’s big plan to become the Internet. More video requires more bandwidth; more bandwidth requires Google. So why not promote online video even more?

Robert claims, ”We won’t know if we’re accessing the Internet or Google and for all practical purposes it won’t matter. Google will become our phone company, our cable company, our stereo system and our digital video recorder. Soon we won’t be able to live without Google”

As TECH.BLORGE.com’s own Gareth Powell intelligently states, “The end game is to control the content for, indeed, content is king.”

    Buenas noches, soy Branden Vibbard. Tomo siempre muy en cuenta todo lo que escriben en su sitio web al cual visito asiduamente ademas de estar subscripto a los feeds. Las grandes obras literarias enriquecen pero tambien generan un apasionamiento literario enorme, al menos en mi persona que me he descubiero amante de los libros y de la literatura desde que era muy chico e iva a la escuela. Asi ocurre con el Quijote de la mancha, la monumental obra, en todas las epocas pero muy especialmente en la Generacion del 98, que ve al hidalgo loco como representacion de la esencia espanola. Esto es lo que expone Unamuno en su bello libro sobre el monumental Quijote recientemente mencionado. La critica literaria, tan amiga de encasillar a todo escritor, encuentra un verdadero inconveniente con alguno de los mencionados libros, porque se prestan a diversas interpretaciones culturales. Y, si ademas, todo se deja librado a la interpretacion del lector, que a veces no esta adecuadamente formado, todo se hace cada vez mas complejo. Me despido no sin antes saludarlos y desearles lo mejor del mundo, se despide, Branden Vibbard.
