Going full force into video is yet another example of Google's boundless ambitions, which have taken it beyond being just a search engine into other areas such as satellite mapping, e-mail and photo editing.

I just wonder

Kudos for Google, for putting those videos online to be viewed freely by anyone in and outside U.S.

However, looking the video's web pages, I cannot find any link to put those videos embedded in other's people page, and I wonder - why?

Great buzz for Google, but. . . .

this will be a longterm process. I also will not be surprised if the
Bush administration gets on its 'national security' hobby horse.

Could Google not have URLs for the content because it wants to
draw traffic to paid videos on the site?

I do again tip the virtual hat to Google regarding mindshare. It is
getting as good at getting buzz as Apple.
