Launched in 2005, Google Video has struggled to stay relevant. In fact, Google Video search saw a drop in growth last year of nearly 12%.
All one need do is use Google's own Googe Trends to compare YouTube's growth versus Google Video's.
With its YouTube property growing stronger by the day in user acceptance, the burning question is why Google Video is still around as a separate offering. Or, as Wired bluntly put it, "Why won't Google Video just die?"
The prediction is for Google to make an announcement to discontinue or to roll its service into YouTube by end of 2008.

Google Video for Business gives GV new life. We'll see if it succeeds, but now it's part of Google Apps.
Did not happen. Unfavorable judgment can now be rendered.
