Google to Index All Videos

Videos from more and more video sharing sites, complete with thumbnails, are showing up in Google SERPs. In an interview by Andy Plesser, Google spokesman Gabriel Sticker explains that Google is working to index all the world’s videos. That’s what Yahoo video search tries (and fails) to do.
Kudos to Google for giving video sites aside from their own (YouTube and Google Video) the benefit of thumbnailed indexing. Comprehensive video search will go a long way in making the infinite choice of online video as simple as surfing channels on TV.
However, Google Video gives you absolutely no way to submit your site or your media RSS feed for their great big video search engine … That may pose a problem if it’s really trying to “index all the world’s videos.”
Looks like they heard you, Angela. :)
