Wonder what percentage of video uploads are porn? 90+?
Google Inc. Tweaks Its Video Service - Forbes.com: "Internet search leader Google Inc. is making it easier to post and share online videos on its site, hoping to widen the appeal of a service that so far has been eclipsed by upstart YouTube.com.
Until the system was changed late Tuesday, uploading a video to Google's site required a special piece of software to be installed on a computer. The Mountain View-based company has retooled its service so that step is no longer required...
As online video becomes more popular, Google is trying to gain ground on much smaller company in San Mateo, Calif-based YouTube.
Since its debut a year ago, the video-sharing site has blossomed into a cultural phenomenon. YouTube says viewers watch more than 40 million videos daily on its site."
