Blogger Adds Video Uploads Feature
InfoWorld has an article that discusses Google’s latest round of Blogger bugs. In addition to pointing out the need for “professional-grade uptime” from Blogger the article also talks about Blogger now allowing video uploads. This post on Blogger Buzz also discusses Blogger’s video upload feature. Today we are releasing video uploading to Blogger! This feature allows you to upload videos and create a video podcast with the same ease that we currently provide with photo uploading. When you go to the Blogger post editor, you’ll see a new button () next to the image uploading one. Just select a video from your computer, wait a few minutes for the upload and processing to occur, and voila! Now when you visit your blog, you will see something like this (of course without Tomo, the Blogger Akita): The Blogger Buzz example features an uploaded video of the Blogger dog Tomo. Videos uploaded with Blogger are hosted by Google Video. However, Google says videos uploaded to Blogger are kept private and are not part of the Google Video search. Blogger also provides a video upload resource and a video uploading faq. Posted in Blogging Tools Permalink | Recent Headlines | WWFeeds.com

Google Launches Embeddable Maps
Google has announced the launch of its embeddable maps feature that makes it easy to post a map on a blog or website. Today we’re excited to announce a new feature on Google Maps that allows you to add maps to your blog or website just by copying and pasting a snippet of HTML. And once you embed the map, it has all the same functionality of the Google Maps you know and love; it’s clickable, draggable, and zoomable. Adding a map to your website or blog is now as easy as embedding a YouTube video. No programming skills are required, and there’s no need to sign up for a Maps API key. Embedding the code is easy to do. You just look for the “Link to this page” on the top right-hand corner of Google Maps and then cut and paste the code. Here is a map of New York City as an example. The embeddable maps offer many of the the same features found at maps.google.com website. View Larger Map Google Maps Mania says geo searches are also embeddable. As we mentioned before there are a lot of potential uses of this service such as providing a map on a travel-related entry or posting directions to a concert or conference.

Google News Now Hosting Stories From Wire Services
Google continues to show signs that it is becoming more of a media company. First there was the addition of special comments to stories appearing on Google News. Now Reuters reports that Google has cut a deal with four wire services to host their stories on Google.com. Google is playing host to articles from four news agencies, including The Associated Press, the company said Friday, setting the stage for it to generate advertising revenue from Google News. The news agencies - the Press Association of Britain, Canadian Press, Agence France-Presse and The A.P. - now have their articles featured with the organizations? own brands on Google News. The companies have agreed to license news feeds to Google. The five-year-old Google News service previously searched the Web to uncover links to news articles from thousands of sources, and clustered links on similar subjects together. Josh Cohen, business product manager of Google News, said his company would consider eventually running advertising alongside the agencies’ articles. What will this mean for blogs with numerous AP and Reuters stories now basically being contained as “one story” on Google News? It could be good in a way because it sort of ties all that competition off as a single source. On the other hand most blogs are not featured in Google News results anyway. Mathew Ingram and others here, here, here and here are correct that the real story here is the trouble this causes the daily newspapers which were already struggling. The Reuters story mentions this as well. Because of Google’s campaign to simultaneously reduce duplicate articles, the original wire service article is likely to be featured in Google News instead of versions of the same article from newspaper customers, sapping ad revenue to those newspapers. Any website relying on wire services as a main source of their content could be in trouble as newspapers and wire services start competing more and more with each other. On another note CNN recently ended a 27-year agreement with Reuters. That may just be another sign that things are changing. Advertisement: Keep up with movie and tv news.

Blog Covers the Comically Large
There is a new blog that covers comically large things like the giant pickle, giant noodle soup, giant video game controller, giant watermelon, giant ritz crackers, giant phone, giant penny, giant safety pin and giant blue box of dental floss.

Comically Large Things is unique and wierd enough that it will probably develop a following. Via path Underwire -> Neatorama -> Metafilter.
