Google has started a blog dedicated to Google Video, "Celebrating creative works from the many contributors to the Google Upload program." This is good to see, and it positions Google more solidly against Yahoo! Video. But the space for this sort of promotion would seem to be at Google Video, not at a separate blog. I understand that Google might want to preserve the Video site as a level playing field for all uploaders, with no content showcased by editorial choice. But the "random videos" highlighted on the Video home page can, at any given moment, make the service seem pretty pathetic. Now that Google is starting to amass a good body of really worthwhile content, a human-produced portal is in order. [via GB]

(Page 1)2. Google is way behind the technology curve when it come s to video. We operate a TV network which broadcasts free to the public 24-7 and we don't just throw a few movie trailers. We broadcast movies, classic tv and historical programming. So go ahead and dump your cable.

1. Google is way behind the technology curve when it come s to video. For example, we operate a TV network which broadcasts free to the public 24-7 and we don't just throw a few movie trailers like some networks or wanna be internet tv people. We broadcast movies, classic tv and historical programming. So go ahead and dump your cable and watch free internet tv on MartinBroadcasting.com
