Google/YouTube Videos on Orkut

Now you can have your favourite videos on your orkut profile. Although this a welcome addition to many (especially those video freaks who keep uploading all those crazy videos on YouTube) any video that you want on your profile has to uploaded to either Google Videos or YouTube - BOTH incidentally owned by Google! This seems to be some sort of cheap cross promotion gimmick by google. I dont know what Orkut, the founder must be thinking now. Orkut is slowly beginning to look like one of those heavy ad filled social networking sites.

Orkut on the other hand has been silently getting better by the day in various aspects. You can see the time elapsed against each scrap apart from other features. What I want to put forward is: Is Google trying to imply that there are no other video hosting sites other than these two? As far as I’m thining one day it will integrate both Google Videos and YouTube creating a mega video site. That would totally dominate the video market.
