Google Video Viewer launches

Today Google launched (via Boing Boing) the Google Video Viewer, which allows you to view videos in its video search. The company I work for participated in Google’s video upload program, hoping that would help our clients. Based on the relatively small number of videos in the database, I’m sure it will. However, I have to say that once again Google has disappointed by creating a Windows-only product. This is especially confusing considering that the Google Video Viewer is based on VLC, which runs on just about every operating system on the planet.
