Google Updates Google Video

The Mountain View-based company Google has rolled out an update for Google Video, its second video sharing technology which allows users to upload and share clips on the web. Google Video now provides a new Grid View that helps you find a certain clip easier than anytime before. From now on, when searching for a clip and viewing the results in grid view, you can move the mouse cursor over a video thumbnail and see more details about it.

"For fans of grid view, we've added a new feature to make it easier to find what you're looking for. Now, when you're viewing search results in grid view you can roll over the video image for more information about the video. By moving your mouse over a video listed in the results, you'll be able to see multiple thumbnails of the video as well as the video description. This will give you a more representative idea of what each video is about as you browse your search results", Sapna Mehta, Online Operations Associate, introduced the new Grid View.

This is the second update in the past few weeks as the search giant recently announced that TV view would become the default view for search results, which means all the users searching for a certain clip will get the search results in TV view mode.

Besides the mentioned update, Google has also restored the comments and ratings as well as the options to allow or block embedding and downloading.

As mentioned, Google Video is the second video service owned by Google as the Mountain View-based company also owns YouTube, which is said to be the most popular video sharing service on the web. Google acquired YouTube in October 2006 for no less than $1.65 billion.
