YouTube topping Google Video
Mathew Hurst grabs a couple of graphs from BlogPulse to show that YouTube is getting more mentions
and rising faster than Google Video. He asks if it's the low resolution that
makes it easy and thus more compelling for people to use YouTube. I wonder whether it isn't some of the unhippness
of Google and its plans for world domination. I remember when some one first told me about Google and it had that
coolness from the margins. Both services allow embedding a video into your site. Google Video seems to have
less bandwidth issues and the content is arguably more high-brow if not more compelling. Is YouTube's lead a
victory of the lowest common denominator?
