The Value Of Videos

Any of you who know this page have by now realised its just me and most of the content has been published before elsewhere, and is just a collection of what I find interesting.

                     The last post gave a good old thumbs up to a site I have known and visited for quite awhile (winbeta), this site I'm about to intoduce is not new but quite new to wanabegeek,

Google Operating SystemThis site has a clean look and is full of interesting articles and links

It's obviously very closely linked to mighty Google but retains a cool and objective view.

Here's an interseting article

Online video is a big business, and Google realized that. While YouTube, Google Video and other video sites don't have a business model, contextual video ads are a sure bet. The idea that anyone can shoot a short video, upload it on the site and then embed it on his blog entices people to populate video sites databases with content. While many people will say that the content is not valuable (TV is the same), the diversity and the big amount of choices will make it very valuable in the future. It will be an archive of cultural trends, popular songs, news, events, TV shows, tips, and crazy ideas and it will surpass TV in popularity.

What do you watch on Google Video or YouTube? Do you think most of the videos are shallow?
