Something about Youtube/Google Merger

Google acquired YouTube yesterday..

A few things are going to change that will make video search easier.

According to a USA Today feature article on the Google/YouTube merger, this is what’s going to happen:

  • Search Google for “plumbing toilet flusher” and you’ll probably find a how-to video on YouTube. “For queries like that, a lot of times video is the best result,” Google’s Page says.
  • “Google video doesn’t go away ever — I want to make that clear,” Schmidt (Google CEO) says.
  • Google did, in fact, promise to leave YouTube alone — it will keep all its employees, separate headquarters, its own brand.
  • Right now, for instance, a search on Google Video will not find a video that’s on YouTube. That will change.

Basically, it looks like the good is going to get better. I’m especially looking forward to getting more video results integrated into regular web search results. — Wendy Boswell
