Interesting. I am disappointed because while Youtube was blocked at the bank I work at, I could still access some things relatively easily through google video.

While I don't think Google would ever consider shuttering Youtube and moving the content to google video, the idea of moving some of the longer videos from Youtube and creating a separate type of video library through google video is very interesting. There might be a market for this. It would be a place to view difficult to find films and a place for aspiring artists to post their work in a constructive forum.

I don't know if this is a sign of things to come under Page or not, but I hope that the resources that are being freed up will be put to use on something more exciting. Google's real worth, I believe, remains in the power of their innovation. Google videos wasn't dynamic--it just was. Let's hope we see something more exciting come out of this.

Doesn't this already exist with Vimeo?
