Ars points out where Google Video, eclipsed in our consciousness by YouTube, is heading.
Following Google’s acquisition of YouTube in 2006, many questions emerged about the future of Google’s own video service. These questions were largely answered early this year, when Google expanded its video service to include YouTube search support and revealed plans to expand video search functionality to support a broad assortment of other sites as well. These plans are now coming to fruition as the scope of the Google Video search index broadens to cover content hosted outside of the company’s web empire.
