I already knew that. I saw it yesterday while I was surfing around the world wide web. It is nice to see some Youtube-Video’s of course. In some cases you can use it to make money with it.

I noticed this when a top Google News search result (“Google courts Yahoo”) about the merger between Yahoo and Microsoft sourced “reutersvideo”. I was completely aghast that Google would not disclose that this was in fact a YouTube video — the byline read “reutersvideo”.

Today, the news is no longer all that new, but a Google News search sorted by date and limited to only news from Reuters does not return the Reuters news story — presumably because the link provided yesterday was in fact to YouTube, not to Reuters.

So the Reuters news has essentially been deleted from Googles index (indeed, it was never even entered into the index).

I am totally amazed that Reuters could be gagged this way, that Google would incorrectly state in the byline that a video came from Reuters Video — when in fact the source was YouTube, and also that users can be so easily duped to believe that Google is not fooling them by doing this.

I will write this up later today at http://ITne.ws
