Back Lot of Google Begins to Takes Shape
August 28, 2009
Google filed a number of patent documents over the last four years that referenced video. None of the individual documents connect the dots. A light bulb went on at the goose pond today. One of the goslings read “YouTube Views Can Ad Up for Popular Videos.” The write up explains that Google will share ad money with the individuals who have videos that generate lots of Google traffic. Google is in the motion picture business. We think that Google will make it possible for a company looking for a hot video producer to locate that individual using Google match making services. We think that over time Google will put in place a unified company for producing, distributing, and monetizing video. Are we right or wrong? Lights, camera, action.
