Google's service to the Web community
In an expensive and thoughtful gesture,
Google has created and is operating the
Google Video web site, where anyone can post video files of any length for streaming and downloading, for free or at a price, for a worldwide audience.
This web site,
Etopia Media News Networks, and its affiliated production company, Etopia Media Pictures, have taken up Google's generous offer and posted a number of video programs on that site.
Apparently, there's an audience for them.
Below you'll find still images from some of the more popular pieces, along with information about their viewing history since Etopia Media starting using this Google service around the beginning of 2006.
You can visit and view these clips on the Google Video page by clicking on the still image taken from that program.
