Google Adds Playback To Video Search

While google has long been collecting video from users they now offer playback functionality provided that you download and install their "Google Video Viewer".

An interesting innovation over other video search services is that Google allows the owners to charge a fee to watch the video. Hmmm ... I wonder if this can be tied in at all to their upcoming payment solution. ;)
