Google hides “video” link

If you look close at the Google home page, you’ll notice something new that happened this week. Google replaced the “Video” link (that use to be next to “Images”) with “Products”. The “Video” link is still there, it’s just buried under the “more” tab.

I know what you’re thinking - what’s the point? Ryan’s a geek. True, but not the point. Google is changing it’s strategy. Maybe, but not the point.

Here’s the point. Google video isn’t all that interesting anymore. Consequently, they replaced it with something that is. This sounds like something we should be doing on a regular basis. If you’re doing something that isn’t interesting to kids, change it. Don’t get rid of it for good - remember the “Video” link is still there - it’s just not in a prime spot.

    Ryan- I hate to break apart your use of this as an example, but they removed it because they are phasing out the service. Now that YouTube is owned by Google, Google Video is redundant. Hence the removal. Sorry. ;)
