InternetWeek reports that Larry Page said today that the company will soon let the general public upload self-produced videos to Google's servers, partly in an effort to learn more about how to more efficiently search and display information about video-based data.
"It's an experiment we want to run," said Page of the video-uploading service, which he said the company will formally announce "in the next few days." Page made the non-announcement announcement during Monday's opening panel discussion at the National Cable & Telecommunications Show here, upstaging his luminary fellow panelists John Chambers of Cisco, Brian Roberts of Comcast, Jon Miller of AOL and Jeffrey Katzenberg of Dreamworks.
My expectations are this will go far beyond today's Current announcement. (Al Gore today said his IndTV project will become an open media project produced in conjunction with Google.) I wonder if this is the pre-cursor to Blogspot-hosted video blogs/vlogs.
