Google Video Search Inhales YouTube Results
Over on the Google blog, Salar Kamangar, Vice President, Product Management, reiterates that its two video products will remain independent. However, now Google Video search results will include links to content that's hosted on YouTube. Further, Google VIdeo is all about search while YouTube will be about community.
Google Video has a lot of nice features that one hopes they will port over to YouTube. For example, you can bookmark a specific moment in a video and view reach analytics on how many times a video was watched. Over time, even as the sites remain independent, hopefully there will be more sharing of technologies between the two.
Google Video is experimenting with paying small publishers ad revenue shares. That's something I definitely want to see on YouTube.

Thiis is a terrible mistake, I think. I mean, the original Google Video results were good, but now to fucking ruin it with YouTube shit? I'm not saying YT is bad ... on the contrary, I actually use it *sometimes*, but I totally hate its video output thing. The more versatile Google Video one is way better ...

That would put you in the vast minority, Darlyn.
