So I'm reading Google readying Web-only video search over on ZDNet and am struck by a few things. First off, this "web-only" moniker is a bit odd. I read the whole article and was still left not entirely sure what "web-only" really means. The word "only" appears only twice on the first page: once in the headline and once in the lead paragraph. Later on, I Media RSS. How on earth does Google's submission-only policy put them anywhere near us?Later in the article, Stephanie write: To a certain extent, Google is playing catch up. Reuters, for example, also has deals with America Online's Singingfish, Yahoo and Blinkx. It provides all those companies with a video content feed, which includes "meta data" or descriptive language that defines the content for automated indexing by the search engines. In turn, the search engines drive traffic to Reuters.com, which is trying to become a news destination site supported by online advertising. So she admits that Google is playing catch up. I'm cool with that. Eventually, Google plans to leapfrog its competitors by creating a "walled garden" of video content hosted on its servers. The content will originate both from independent and A-list video producers, sources say. That way, Google can eventually sell access and video advertising, or online commercials.
