Get Your Videos Indexed in Google Results
Google wants webmasters who offer video content to be able to get their videos displayed in search results more easily. The company has announced that that it now supports Facebook Share and Yahoo SearchMonkey RDFa, which are both markup formats that allow webmasters to specify information that is important to video indexing.
YouTube UK To Bring Music Videos Back
Following a blackout period of about six months, music videos are set to make their return to YouTube UK. YouTube’s worked out an agreement with PRS for Music, a trade body that collects royalties and at one point asked to be paid about 0.36 cents each time a clip was played.
Google Lets Businesses Speed Up Videos
Google has introduced a feature for Google Video for Business that allows viewers to adjust the playback speed. There is a speed control button/slider on the video player that can be used to speed up or slow down a clip.
If you’re unfamiliar with Google Video for Business, it’s part of Google Apps Premiere and Education editions, and lets users share rich video information, keep videos secure and private, and collaborate on videos.
Watch Videos on Twitter without Clicking Short URLs
Video search engine VideoSurf launched a Firefox add-on today called "Videos at a Glance," which can show Twitter users the videos behind applicable links. For example, if someone in your Twitter stream posts a link to a video, the add-on will automatically display the video, as well as a visual video summary, right in the tweet, so you don’t have to click through.
5 AdSense Videos You Should Watch

YouTube Shows You How Viewers Interact with Your Videos
YouTube contacted Murdok this afternoon to tell us about a new analytics feature it has just launched for YouTube Insight. A spokesperson tells me the feature gets more into engagement metrics than YouTube Insight has in the past.
Until now, YouTube Insight has only dealt with information related to views. With this launch it "will give uploaders information on how viewers interact with their videos," she says.
YouTube UK Blocks All Premium Music Videos
In the minds of some overdramatic and/or young people in the UK, it might be today, and not February 3rd, 1959, that deserves the title of "the day the music died." That’s because YouTube UK has taken the drastic step of blocking many music videos.
Cluttering YouTube Videos wth Text Just Got Easier
YouTube announced that it has made annotations much easier for the average user to engage in. Basically its as easy as signing in, clicking, and typing.YouTube Video Annotations let users add text within their own videos. Kind of like VH1’s Pop-up Video. Users can use the feature to add background information, create stories, link to related content, etc.
