“Please, sir, I want some more.”

And more you shall have. Today I’m happy to introduce yet another goody - Advanced Video Search! Advanced Video Search allows you to find videos that contain all, some, or none of the words you specify. This feature also lets you filter your results by video duration, price, and specific genre such as Anime & Animation, Political, and Romance. You also get to decide how you’d like to sort your results, whether it be by Relevance, Title, or Date. So go ahead, be advanced and set your search standards.

Think you have an even cooler video? Upload it!

You asked and we answered. With our newest feature, unlisted videos, you can upload videos without making them publicly available in the Google Video search results and share them with only those people you want to see them.

Are you a proud new mom and dad? Maybe you want to share a video of the newest addition to your family with grandparents who live an ocean away.

Or maybe your college roommate’s rendition of “It’s Raining Men” was absolutely historic, but he’d hunt you down and destroy you if you shared the video with the world.

Or it could be that you’re an up-and-coming filmmaker who doesn’t want those Hollywood sharks stealing your original screenplay before you get an agent.

Now, for all of the above instances, you can just unlist your video and share the link only with the people you trust.

Unlisting videos is easy. All you have to do is check the “Unlisted” option when uploading your video(s) at http://video.google.com/videouploadform. You’ll then get a unique URL that you can email to anyone you want - and no one else.

This year, the Frankfurt Book Fair’s theme is “Literacy.” In collaboration with LitCam and UNESCO’s Institute for Lifelong Learning, Google has created a resource for teachers, literacy organizations, and anyone interested in reading and education called The Literacy Project.

There’s a section on The Literacy Project page where literacy organizations and educators can watch and share videos from all around the world. You can also upload your own inspirational, wisdom-ful videos or start your own literacy or reading group!
