Highlight: A “Lost” World of Video

Wednesday, May 31st, 2006

That which may not be:

I’ve always gotten a kick out of cryptozoology, which is the study of creatures that don’t necessarily exist, like the Yeti or the Loch Ness monster. Second only to UFO sightings in their fuzziness, these videos always make me think of those old training and historical videos we used to see when we would drive cross country as a child with my family on the way to my grandparents.

Anyhow, enjoy the videos and do a few searches for UFO’s and fantastic creatures yourself sometime! You don’t have to believe in them to be amazed by them!

Movie Trailers on Google Video

Tuesday, May 30th, 2006

Are you a film fanatic? I’d say you are if you answer “Yes” to any of the following:

1. The smell of buttery, fresh popped-popcorn is your aphrodisiac.
2. You subscribe to Netflix.
3. You’d bring lawn chairs and a portable DVD player to watch prequels while waiting in line for a couple of hours to watch your most anticipated film of the year (Bonus points if you’re that guy that makes the headlines because you brought a tent).
4. You’ve worn a costume to a movie (and it was nowhere near Halloween).
5. You’d drive a few hundred miles to the only theater in your state that is playing that obscure, independent, foreign film.

Well, film fanatic, this feature’s just for you - Movie Trailers now on Google Video.

Adopt Me

Thursday, May 25th, 2006

How innovative are Google Video users? Let me count the ways…

“I thought Google Video could be a great way to help save the lives of countless abandoned dogs, cats and small animals. So I contacted the local MSPCA shelter and volunteered my video expertise once a month to video tape and upload video of animals for adoption to Google Video. I then link the Google Video to the local shelter, and they provide a link from the shelter site.”

New Feature on Google Video

Wednesday, May 17th, 2006

We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you a shiny, super, brand spankin’ new feature on Google Video!

Gone are the days of having to install any software to upload your video. Now it’s easier and faster than ever to upload and share videos using Google Video. All you have to do is click on the “Submit your video link” on any Google Video page and in three simple steps, upload your video in a matter of minutes. But here’s the icing on the cake, folks. Once uploaded, you can instantly watch, share, and embed your video.

And that’s not all. Heard of the movie The Break-Up? Of course you have because it stars our favorite couple - Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston. It’s a romantic comedy that tells a story about what happens after happily ever after.

We want your story, too. In the spirit of The Break-Up and National Break-up Day, we’d like you to upload your funniest, most ridiculous break-up videos on Google Video. Have fun, be creative, and tell us what happened post-boy-meets-girl.

Click here to watch “The Break-Up TV Spot– ‘Day 1′”
