A few months ago, we href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2007/06/state-of-our-video-id-tools.html" >
announced the initial development of a highly complicated
technology platform — content identification tools for YouTube.
Today, we are pleased to launch, in beta form, YouTube Video
Identification.

Video Identification is the next step in a long list of content
policies and tools that we have provided copyright owners so that
they can more easily identify their content and manage how it is
made available on YouTube.

Video Identification joins the following policies and tools:

Our strict repeat-infringer policy, which has been in place
since our launch, terminates accounts of repeat infringers based on
DMCA notices.

We take a unique "hash" of every video removed for
copyright infringement and block re-upload of that exact video file
prospectively.

We require a 10-minute limit on the length of content uploaded
to the site.

We provide content owners with an electronic notification and
takedown tool, to help them more easily identify their material and
notify us to take it down with the click of a mouse.

We also publish copyright tips for users in plain English and
clear, prominent messaging at the time of user upload.

Like many of these other policies and tools, Video
Identification goes above and beyond our legal responsibilities. It
will help copyright holders identify their works on YouTube, and
choose what they want done with their videos: whether to block,
promote, or even—if a copyright holder chooses to license their
content to appear on the site—monetize their videos. In
implementing this technology, we are committed to supporting new
forms of original creativity, protecting fair use, and providing a
seamless user experience—all while we help rights owners easily
manage their content. Stay tuned … and for more information, check
out our Video
Identification page.

A couple weeks back, some of us on the Gmail team were talking about how simple it’s become to connect with people around the world through email. And we got to thinking: what if email was delivered via a Rube Goldberg machine, but instead of gears and levers, people on everything from bicycles to submarines brought messages from one place to another? So we had a little fun with a collaborative video depicting just that (well, not the submarines).

Now it’s time to let everyone in on the action. Learn more at our new Gmail Blog, or go directly to http://mail.google.com/mvideo where you’ll find directions on how to submit your clip.

A year and a half ago, we released Google Analytics as a free
service to help people measure the success of their Web sites. In
that time, the response has been fantastic - hundreds of thousands
of sites across the Web have access to this powerful analysis
previously only available to the enterprise.

Now, we're taking the next step: making that analysis even more
accessible and easy to use. Today we're announcing a complete
redesign of http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2006/02/here-comes-measure-map.html”>
the Measure Map acquisition. Since then, we've collaborated
with the combined team from Google and http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2005/11/circle-of-analytics.html”>
Urchin Software to bring user-centered design to their strong
development skills. I couldn't be more pleased with the
results.

You can find out more at the http://analytics.blogspot.com/2007/05/new-version-of-google-analytics.html”>
