- chulium, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8"GoogTube"?? - that's the stupidest name for a service I've ever heard...
- Denver80203, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6GooTube would be worse
- chulium, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Yeah: http://whois.domaintools.com/googtube.com
And google won't care because the name is stupid. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Shut up, you stupid fool.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3YouToogle?
- interiot, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Yes, GooTube desperately needs 1) Video iPod/Zune/PSP/etc. integration, and 2) integration with HTPC's/video extenders.
How many times have you been in front of your big television with friends, and said "hey, did you see that youtube video today?", and then not be able to display it on the TV that's sitting right in front of you? - ohhhL3ThaL, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2googtube.com has a message saying the domain was recently purchased for a customer.
Anyone have any info on this? - bdogg64, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Great! Lets hope they do start promoting more mobile content. Then I can stop downloading and converting videos from google and youtube for my mobile through http://www.mymobileclips.com (Man, what a shameless plug). Anyway, hopefully something will happen in the near future.

There has been the googtube blog for about a year showing the best from google video and youtube
http://googtube.blogspot.com - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I write software to deliver visual content to mobiles. And as such I think it's a great idea to get Youtube/Googtube/Boobtube or whatever on mobiles. But to deliver anywhere near a good service you need to adapt the content (in real time) to the specific device you're delivering to - even Google wouldn't stump up enough storage for every single video on Youtube and Google Video in every device format (considering there's now between 1000 and 2000 differently spec'd mobiles on the market) ... or even a few specific screen sizes. Then again...it's Google, so maybe they would.
However, the real killer is data charges. Rich media downloads will not take off until all you can eat data plans exist on mobile, which they don't yet (at least not here in the UK). But yes, this idea has a definite future, and I'm sure Google are close to solving these problems already.

http://www.phonething.com - dbr_onix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Xbox Media Center has scripts that give exactly that (Youtube and google video support), as does WindowsMCE. Okay not the most super-convient option, but short of Google buying Microsoft and getting them to integrate it into Windows Media Center, plugins are the closest you'll get to that (Or something like TIVO, not acctualy used one so I'm not sure what content )
Google Videos has a "Save for iPod" option as well (atleast they did a while ago, not checked recently, don't see why they would remove it, how ever)

- inmatarian, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1GooTube! GooTube!
- wwwdot1jesdotus, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2Booble Tooble?
- foxymcfox, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Hey, I came up with "GoogTube" when the rumors started, and used it in response to the Digg post about Google's acquisition of YouTube. I demand compensation for your use of my word.
Barring that...well, barring that I really don't have a solution. Have fun using "GoogTube." - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Wow, isn't this amazing that Google did all those deals with music companies to put music videos online?
I mean, music videos are a GOLD MINE OF WEALTH for anyone involved. I remember when MTV was worth 125 billions of dollars because they had a MONOPOLY on music videos and got to sell advertising around those videos!
Oh wait, they were never worth 125 billion, and in fact MTV doesnt even show music videos anymore because nobody gave a ***** about watching music videos.
Youtube's videos are never longer than 5 minutes or so, because otherwise people would post full television episodes and movies. The only media that fits into 5 minutes is a music video. Therefore music videos will be youtube's main focus. Yet MTV proved that you arent going to make much money selling ads around music videos.
So why are people spooging their pants again?
The really amazing part is that during the original dot.com mania, none of the people involved knew how incredibly stupid they were behaving. theglobe.com going to 780 dollars a share, without a penny in profit? webvan? kozmo.com ?
Yet everyone looks back and says "yeah, i guess we were pretty retarded back then."
And NOW, all those same people are behaving exactly as stupid about Web 2.0 - which is nothing but all the previous Web 1.0 ideas, with more bandwidth, and Google ads plastered on every available inch on the page.
In a couple years these same morons will look back at the youtube purchase and say "yeah, i guess we were pretty retarded back then." - crawfishsoul, on 10/12/2007, -9/+6"GoogTube" Man, that sounds phallic.
I'm gonna go search some pron and play with my googtube. - NobleRocket, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0How about Goob or Gooble?
- FleetAdmiral, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1""GoogTube" Man, that sounds phallic.
I'm gonna go search some pron and play with my googtube."
I love PRON! that's just great!
