Google and Streaming Video

Google has been full of pleasant surprises since the Search Engine was put on line. The Pleasant Surprises continue with the "Free Streaming Video Server" that Google now offers to the General Public.

Google has provided a way for anyone and everyone to post their Video on the net to be viewed by the world. Google policy of providing a free Video Server will eventually change the course of many things in the world. The many ways that Google "Free Video Server" will change the world cannot be imagined by anyone at this time. However the impact of the Google’s "Free Video Server" is already beginning to take place. I predict the Google Move to offer a "Free Video Server" will very quickly escalate Video on the Internet, sell more Video Cameras, introduce Video to Business Web Sites to promote their businesses more effective and therefore realize greater sales and greater profits, and in the end will stimulate the economy to some degree.

When the Internet first appeared and for many years thereafter, the net might be likened to a Newspaper or Magazine with information and print type of advertising. When MP3 Files went on the net, the Internet moved from Print, Newspaper/Magazine Technology to Print Plus Radio, and this was a big and important move. With Google offering it’s "Free Streaming Video Server" the Internet now advances to the Television stage, and advance for everyone who uses the net.

Many independent businessmen have used the Internet to promote their products world wide, and have done so with great success. The more advanced Hand Crafters of Musical Instruments now sell their products world wide and this makes them successful. Other type of small businesses on the Internet have world wide Customers. As streaming video becomes the norm, is used by everyone, both large and small businesses can use Internet Streaming Video to promote sales, and it will not cost and arm and a leg for the cost will be affordable to any business who has the foresight to use the new "Streaming Video Technology."

I personally have music videos of many songs I have written and recorded. I wanted to put those Videos on the net but was reluctant to pay the price that a commercial "Streaming Video Hosting Service" would charge. When I discovered that anyone could upload any video, in any format, to Google, and the Video could be any resolution and any length, I immediately uploaded on of my Mandolin Songs in the form of a "Still Picture Video" that displays the Photographs I have taken with my Digital Camera, and the Abstract Digital Photographs I have created using a computer program. One day later my Video is not available for viewing on Google. The response to "Free Video Streaming" on Google has been so great that I believe it might be as long as a week before my Videos will be available for viewing on www.video.google.com By the way the name of my First Streaming Video uploaded to Google Video is, "Bluegrass Mandolin Rock--abstract."

I used the Microsoft "Movie Maker" using my recorded sound file of "Bluegrass Mandolin Rock" and then put in the video portion the Abstract Pictures I have created using a Computer program. I was most certainly happy to find a Free "Streaming Video Server" that Google is offering to the general public.

I have considered Google Stock as being overpriced because of the profit the company has generated. Google Profit from Word Go has always been very good, but I just didn’t think it was good enough to justify the price that Google Stock sold at when the stock was at it’s peak. I now have to wonder if perhaps the Peak Price of Google Stock was maybe justified for it is very evident that Google is continually offering new services, such as the free "Streaming Video Server" that will be creating more business for the very advanced and progressive high tech company.

I believe that Google offering a Free Streaming Video Server for everyone to use is going to change the music world a lot. More musicians will definitely start making music videos to show on the Google Video Streaming Web Server.

Video Streaming is beginning to take off big time on the internet. Google is offering free Video Streaming to anyone and that includes more than music.

I checked out Google Streaming Videos. The free Videos from the Unsigned Artists are homemade videos. The Musicians have someone with a Video Cam to take pictures of them singing or playing the Guitar or whatever. Of course the musicians are thrilled to see themselves on the Internet, on the Google Free Streaming Web Site and I suppose friends and family like the very amateur level videos of someone they know.

Will some worth while Music Videos come from local and unsigned musicians in the future? Good question and one that I cannot answer. Local Bands can get fairly decent recordings made of their music, or do it themselves. Making Music Videos that are worth watching is much more difficult than recording the sound. However I will say the home videos can be quite enjoyable.

The sound and video quality is often not good on the home Music Videos. However there is something refreshing and enjoyable about watching the home music videos that are on Google. The Streaming home music videos on Google have a kind of lure that brings you back again and again.

On Google Video you can search for about any type of music you can imagine.

It’s kind of fun to watch the homemade Videos at:

Since Google is a search engine Google Video is set up so you can search on most anything.

You get the idea you can search on most any subject in Google Video and find Videos that someone has made on the subject.

There are some enjoyable videos of the Graves Family if you search on Bluegrass. The Family has some very talented children who play Bluegrass quite well.
