Search for “simpsons” on Google Video – you get a bunch of videos uploaded to YouTube.

Search from “simpsons” on Mefeedia.com, you get The Simpsons show from Hulu, plus videos from YouTube, DailyMotion, Vimeo, Metacafe, Blip, Clipta, and CollegeHumor.

Is Google truly committed to Video Search, or are they committed in pushing YouTube everywhere (ex: the iPhone button is YouTube, not Video Search)?

Google Video has also completely ignored indie content creators in their video search – you have to upload to YouTube or another big video sharing site (and agree to their TOS) to be found. This just seems very much not what Google is about. Imagine if Google Text Search forced all website creators to host their website at google.com in order to be found?

Mefeedia, on the other hand, has indexed thousands of indie video shows and helps them be found on a daily basis. People are producing some unbelievable content – they shouldn’t be excluded from a video search index just because they don’t host at YouTube or Metacafe or DailyMotion.

The whole Google Video / YouTube separation seems weird to. I would bet there are millions of YouTube users who know what Google is but have never heard of Google Video.
