Anybody heard anything about this?

If you log into google video right now and try to upload
a video... it says 'uploads no longer accepted'.

No date. It looks like they are DONE accepting uploads.

Possible theories?

Is it just cause they've got YouTube and want to merge?

Crash of video sites that get to big and can't make enough
money to pay the server costs?

What do you think is going on here?

Interesting topic for sure... if google can't make money
on video sites... who is?

There is money to be made with video sites.

Those who are making money don't host all of the videos themselves (they embed them), and they also have more aggressive ads compared to youtube, etc...

I haven't use Google videos for a while. But i think that is strange that they are not accepting new videos.

Or... we charge a lot of money on a subscription basis to access them.

  I liked Google Video because it accepted longer videos. Any other suggestions on where to upload longer videos that can be embedded?
  I'm having a tough time with Audio Acrobat lately.

Yea its just interesting...

I recently read an article about how much money
many video sites were losing because they can't
monetize fast enough to pay for the enormous server
costs of hosting all this.

YouTube in particular.

So to see google video go down definitely makes ya wonder...

No reason why they should have two competing products confusing people when one will do the trick. Google videos has always been a "niche" service. It will be interesting to see what they'll do with all those videos hosted there. They'll inevitably pull the plug on the entire service. What will they do? Put the videos on Youtube? Delete them?

  I think they have plans to makeover this service using a different business model. I will bet anyone here a quarter that Google Video will re-emerge as a paid service to compete with AmazonS3.
