Google Video for Business
September 29, 2008
I saw a reference to Google Video for Business in CIO Magazine. The story “Google Blows Double Bubble with Video Collaboration and Browser Announcements” by Martin Veitch here pointed me to this Google page. The Google Video for Business information is a page down or two here. From my point of view, this is one more component of Google’s expanding business services. If I hear one more person tell me that Google is a search and ad company, I may get a T shirt made that says, “Google is an application platform.” Some of the video goodness in this new service include:
- Cloud service
- Secure sharing
- Authorized users can upload videos
Google has even prepared a Googley video to explain this service. Oh, yes, search is part of the package. Clever companies have been uploading videos to YouTube.com and using cute names to allow employees and customers to locate the videos. This new service may not change that practice unless Googzilla chomps at those savvy YouTubers.
