It's de facto no private that search giant, Google.com, wants to own the gateway to all media online.
They operate the Web's most popular search engine, largest free blogging service, and one of the largest news services online.

Recently, Google started gift video from their website. Google's video offerings so far, comprised mostly of documentaries, news, and daytime talk Tv programs, represented a testing gadget to get the kinks out of their video delivery and search system.
Now, thanks to allembracing availability of high-speed Internet access, cheap desktop video editing, and the emergence of portable video players, Google is steadily ramping up what will de facto come to be the Web's first video "vending" machine.
Log on to Video.Google.com and search a exiguous number of ready Tv shows.
Curiously, most do not allow you to play video, only to see still screen shots of the show and read a transcript taken from concluded captioning for the hearing impaired.
However, based on the fact that Google recently started accepting video submissions through their website, this format is about to change drastically.
Originally, investment about Google's new video service centered squarely on video "blogging, " where online pundits would share their thoughts in video rather than written form.
However, after releasing more details, it appears that Google maintains much grander plans for online video than just allowing citizen with a camcorder to rant and rave.
Currently Google is in the "gathering" stage. This means they are accepting video submissions from article providers with very few restrictions.
Basically, Google says they want traditional content, no porn or nasty content, and they want it in a very definite video format (mpeg2 or mpeg4 with Mp3 codec).
Other than that, the sky is de facto the limit. For specifics, log on to https://upload.video.google.com/ and click the "Find out more" link.
Right now it appears that Google decided to procure as much article as potential before gift any of it to the public, so you currently can't view any videos.
Google also states that they will allow article providers to either payment for their videos or allow viewers to watch them for free.
Google states they will procure the money, take a small fee, and pay the article provider. This alone should excite anyone who sells article online because the barrier to entry (high-speed servers, video delivery, credit card processing, buyer service) just got a lot lower.
Plus, it's a safe bet that Google will find a way to integrate revenue producing videos into their pay-per-click program.
Combine all this with the up-to-date emergence of truly portable digital video players (Sony Psp, Creative Lab's Zen Media Center), and beginning of video-on-demand through the Internet just arrived. Now this doesn't mean growing pains won't occur.
The biggest drawback to searching for and looking online video is that each video file must have a text transcript connected with it in order to get properly indexed by a search engine.
In the beginning, this will slow the output of new material.
Despite these and other growing pains, plan on Google opportunity up the first and largest video "vending" motor online within 12 months.
