Told you so
May 19th, 2007
When Google bought YouTube I resisted the urge to tell the naysayers who said I was overdoing the video on the web thing: "Told you so."
Because actually, these days, what’s $1.2 billion? Not much to get excited about in the grand scheme of things.
But Google including VIDEO in its main search listings. That’s huge.
I have no idea how Google is selecting videos for including in search results. From the looks of things I’m not sure that they know either, but this is a SIGN.
The Internet is heading towards becoming a video-on-demand system with text as a sideline. Mark my words. The browser will become the new remote with an infinite choice of channels. Video will become as common as paper.
