Google Video Hardly Ready

Filed under: News, Culture — Chris @ 7:40 pm

Has anyone else seen this steaming pile of (err…) video yet? It’s almost like Google is out to prove that I’m right about their grappeling with how to spend all that money.

C’mon. With that much cash and talent you can’t come up with a better video sales mechanic than slapping on the google search engine interface with an extra pulldown? There isn’t actually enough video for sale to warrant the search engine, but it could use a decent frontend.

Google’s minimalist approach works great for a search engine. It doesn’t work all that well with a set library of video content. Although to be honest, yahoo doesn’t have a clue either.
