Since this is my last post on my Web 2.0 topic Google Video, I thought I would give a brief overview of all the things that I have learned about it throughout this class.
Google Video is a very simple video-sharing site. Though not as popular as YouTube, Google Video does offer some unique features. The cost of Google Video is FREE.
All you need is a gmail account to use Google Video. There are two simple ways of uploading content to Google Video. You can use their online uploader, which accepts files up to 100MB and emails you a link to your video right away. Or you can download the Google Video Uploader, which lets you upload files from your desktop. This is handy because you can upload much larger files and also upload multiple files at the same time.
Google Video uploads are fast and generally result in better-quality videos then YouTube does. They recommend using the online uploader for the best results. Unlike YouTube, Google Video does not ask for search keywords; it does however allow you to list credits for the movie. You can make your video ‘unlisted’ so that it doesn’t appear in the search results. Google Video lets users email a video link and you can also allow viewers to download the video to their computer or embed it on other web sites. You can also post the video to MySpace, Blogger, or TypePad directly from Google Video.
