"Google Video just rolled out a series of new features.  The fresh stuff includes a Movers and Shakers list, which allows you to explore popular videos by country.  The home page has also been reorganized - there's now a \"recently uploaded\" section and featured videos appear at the bottom of the page.  However, the recent videos section is far more limited than YouTube's - instead of listing the very latest submissions, it appears to show a random selection of videos from the last few days.  Perhaps Google didn't relish the thought of policing a near real-time system.  \nAdditionally, logged in users will now see a \"search history\" link at the top right.  Nonetheless, it seems they're still lacking when it comes to social features.  There are no comments, groups, friends, favorites, subscriptions, messages or playlists - many of the features, in fact, that make YouTube so compelling.\nIn related news: Grouper has added some neat new features over the last few weeks.  They've switched from Windows Media to Flash 8 (at least for non-IE browsers) and added a bunch of interactive features like video commenting.  They also seem to have switched focus - the downloadable client is being pimped less, and they're concentrating on building out the web-based service.  My favorite feature?  One-click submission to your MySpace page.  Gotta feed the beast!\n\n\n[via Googling Google]"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
