Share your videos with Google

Wondering where the Google Video Search videos come from? Answer: Anyone.

Whether you produce hundreds of titles a year or just a few, you can give your videos the recognition and visibility they deserve by promoting them on Google - for free. Signing up for the Google Video Upload Program will connect your work with users who are most likely to want to view them.

Google blog reports:

Anyway, now you can sign up for the Google Video Uploader for Macintosh, and ditto for Linux (and UNIX and Solaris and HP-UX and AIX and lots of other platforms). The same sign-up page goes to to the Windows version too. So now I can ponder a different problem - namely, which of my videos I want to share with the world.

Personalize Your Google Home Page

If you're like me, a hopeless Googleholic, you probably have Google's main page set as your browser's home page. A nice, clean and extremely useful page to pop up when you start your browser.

Well, starting today, you can personalize it using a new tool from Google Labs.

The new customizable Google home pages at www.google.com/ig .

You can add a box for your Gmail messages, Google News, Local Weather, Wired News, Movies, Stock Market, Word of the Day, Driving Directions, New York Times, Quote of the Day, Slashdot and BBC News.

Be warned, though, if you do this, your home page will not be so clean and uncluttered as you were used to.

Googleholics and Googleholism

Googleholism is not affiliated with, endorsed by or partnered with Google. It is written by a (self) certified #1 Googleholic. (As far as I've been able to tell, there is no such thing as an official program to certify Googleholics. Unless you count this.)

On the other hand, the site is hosted on Google's Blogger, will soon feature Ads by Google via AdSense, features content found through Google searches and features Google search tools.

Welcome to Googleholism and remember - Google Responsibly.
