goodbye Google video

Several years ago Google bought YouTube.com. YouTube set alongside Google video (video.google.com). Google video tended to be more educational, more thought-provoking, and frankly more serious. Yes, there were cats and dancing gerbils and people making funny faces, just like YouTube. But, they were few and far between when compared to the videos from Stephen Hawking, and the mere yet of the videos are science, politics, sociology and religion.

The good news is that many of the brilliant lectures of Stephen Hawking, as just one example, have made it to YouTube. I hope that more make it over and are preserved. It is such a valuable resource. It would be a shame for this vast storehouse of knowledge to disappear.
