Google Video

[rivkat]

Did anybody else know that Google is planning to host video from anyone who wants to send it in? Not a lot of help to vidders, but still a pretty cool expansion. They're accepting submissions now, but you can't yet browse. I'm researching what Google's up to these days as part of my latest project, on libraries and universities in the new copyright regime, and I'm tremendously impressed by all Google's aspirations. Maybe I should worry more; Google wants to be Microsoft, and absolute power is dangerous, and all that. But -- free video hosting!

Also, I plan to return to the (ir)regularly scheduled posting shortly -- I guess the past 24 hours have just been nervous ones, for no good reason.
