Google Video

It is a well known fact that Google Video has not been able to make much of a dent against the successful start-up YouTube. Here are some suggestions to enhance the standing of Google Video.

  • Integrate Google Analytics into the reports tab in Google Video
    • Thus videos uploaded from users will be of greater interest
  • A "recommended video" option on the front page
  • A customizable Front Page similar to Google Personalized Homepage
  • Social Options like a page for people who upload video's (So they can show their interests, pictures, etc.)
  • Enhanced video size (not the downgraded ones shown)
  • A far more enhanced Google Video Player (A library option, more player like options)
  • Options to share favorite videos with friends and family like a save option (YouTube)
  • Quicker pace in introduction of new features
    • To catch up with YouTube
