Yeah Google 1 year or so from now will be so diffrent I think everthing is going video. I got plans on adding more video promotions to my site once I get it up and running. Im also finding that alot of people start there searches looking on youtube for products and services.

Very interesting indeed! The sad reality, for those of you experienced in web design & dev, of such a feature is that there is another set of conditions to account for when creating content for the web. What they are planning is undoubtedly exciting, but HTML 5 spec is a long way off being implemented across the board. So the reality is If you target content such as video etc in this manner, until the other big boys in the browser market have their browsers supporting the same standards [i.e. IE, like it or not, people still use it!!]- and more to the point: actual end users have their software up to date, in my mind at least i wouldn't be ditching flash video just yet.
