It is unfortunate that everything is getting sucked back so close to the vest. Hopefully, this market will turn around soon!

Yup, they sure are battening down the hatches big time. Shedding dead weight before the economic crunch bites too hard does make sense. Sad though, because there goes loads of opportunities for many people.

I like the decisions – agree with R&B Love songs, it’s high time that use google video for video search and GoogleTube, err, YouTube for what it was purchased to do.

This just goes to show you that nobody is safe from the economic downturn.

Hah, it’s about time they’re changing Google Video. You don’t buy YouTube to continue having these two different looking pages. I like their direction moving it more towards video search and making youtube the video display site.

This really highlights how bad the economy is. If Google is cutting back… Things are very bad.

I think that fact that they have got where they are is anything but random. We may not always like what they do but the business model is working for Google.

it’s kinda sad though, part of Google’s charm is that they just do everything, seemingly at random (though we all know nothing they do is at random) they stick their fingers in every pie and their employees have this freedom to enjoy themselves and are given freedom to be completely creative..

Well, this makes sense. They should focus their efforts on their most popular/useful products. Everyone needs to trim the fat, and they have a lot of it.
