Video
Why use your own bandwidth when you can leach someone else's? That's my philosophy, and that's why I've uploaded my holiday videos to Google Video. So, the links on my Video page now take you to Google Video instead of where they took you before (nowhere as it turns out, sorry bout that).You may be wondering what Google Video is exactly. Well, as you know, Google want to provide access to all data everywhere ever ever ever amen, and they want this data searchable. You have your vanilla Google for searching the web, Froogle for searching online shops, Google News for searching online news, and many more, including most recently Google Print for searching books, a blog post on which I have fermenting away in the back of my brain somewhere. In fact you can search for pretty much anything (apart from what to do in the event of an robot invasion - no reply from Tony Blairs yet by the way, though even if he did decide to tackle the robot threat, he'd probably do so by rounding up Robosapiens and jailing them for 3 months without charge, a fruitless act that will simply serve to radicalise other robots, sparking off rights in the suburbs just like is happening in France right now, although the riots would start to peter out when the batteries start to run down).
Google Video is for searching videos. Really, if you hadn't guessed that by now, there's something not right with you. The idea is that production companies, film makers, programme makers submit their work to Google, where the unwashed masses can search it. In reality it seems to simply serve as a way for people like me to publish video to the internet without having to worry about hosting it.
