Google Video Store To Open For More Sellers
BuyGoogle has uploaded some videos to Google Video, with the instructions that he wants to sell them. As a result, they’ve been sitting in a queue. Well, he’s just received notice the waiting period is getting closer to its end. Whereas before it said “Waiting to be verified” for the pay videos (which he’s selling for all of a quarter), it now says, “Video is verified; stay tuned - it will be live shortly.”
As far as I’m concerned, with large, expensive, high profile content, the Google Video Store is a complete bust. However, it could very well be a great long tail video store, and could be a huge hit. I can’t wait for the long tail store to open; it could be a completely new sector in the internet economy.
For the video store, I just think they need time. Google hardly gets things right the first time.
