Google Video Gets a Makeover
Google Video has given itself a redesign, adding some nice search tweaks and a fresh new look. Now when you search for a video, results can be viewed through a regular list, a grid, or a TV view that lets you watch a video while you scan through other results.
And if you’re searching for something but have little more than a vague recollection of when it was popular, you can use the new timeline feature, which shows you most viewed, shared, blogged, etc. videos on a linear dateline you can use to scroll back in time.

Perhaps this facelift caused the problems people had uploading last week?
One problem the redesign hasn’t eliminated is copyright infringers. As CNET pointed out, it was a year ago that Google CEO Eric Schmidt said the company would roll out a means of stamping out piracy at YouTube. And while YouTube launched its Video Identification system in October, content owners are finding the results “inconclusive.”

Hmm… Grid view, list view, and the ability to watch a video while you scan through other results. Looks like Microsoft’s video search. Too bad Google missed the preview feature:

Bah. They just copied M$’s soapbox. I’d read this author’s posts again if he had researched and noted this in the article.

Google Vidoe’s new look « Ladgeful on April 21st, 2008 at 3:53 pm - Permalink
You cannot eliminate copyright infringement all the way. Google keeps stepping up the game but people will always find a new way of sticking it back in. My question about Google Video is when are they going to consolidate it with Youtube and take a bigger piece of the video market?
Well that’s my 2 cents

two words come to mind
slash & burn….make the website so bulky, bloated and unresponsive, and people will stop using it…basic supply and demand, can’t keep up with demand, dwiindle supply to mask scaling issues.
