August 22, 2007 at 4:56 pm | In News | Leave a Comment

Google has started to provide video clips in Google News, a feature it had been widely expected to add to its article search and aggregation site and which Yahoo and AOL already offer in their news sites.

“We’re showing related news videos along with our news articles to give you a broader spectrum of info available,” a Google staffer announced on the Google News blog.

Google News is adding the feature through a collaboration with the company’s YouTube video-sharing site. The clips will come from channels that video news producers have set up on YouTube. Plus, with the YouTube video-playback technology, Google News users will not have to download any clips and they’ll be able to view the videos in any browser, according to Google.
