They have said that they are going to keep the two services separate, which is unfortunate because I think they could combine the best of both services.

What I really like about Google video is that you can download videos as mp4's. With other sites you have to get 3rd party programs to let you download videos, then video converters.

I think Google will eventually make Google Video a search engine and let YouTube take care of the rest. At least it seems they're heading this route.

I never understood companies maintaining competing sites that do the same thing, like Google videos and Youtube. The biggest advantage of Yahoo! photos is that it allowed unlimited storage and didn't shrink your pics. The beta interface was pretty good, but it didn't have the incredible features of Flickr. That's where I'll be moving to. I think this was a smart move by Yahoo! I never understood companies maintaining competing sites that do the same thing, like Google videos and Youtube.

It's nice because they offer guest passes which are just hyperlinks that you can give out so that people can view a set of your photos. I keep everything private on there, and currently have more than 5,000 photos uploaded. With the new Collections I am able to replicate the folder structure that I have on my computer, which is also a really nice feature. I had never really used the Yahoo! photo service so I'm not sure how it stacks up to the others, but from what I gather it really sucked. At least with Flickr there are also photo downloading solutions that let you download the full-resolution photos in case you ever need to get them back.

It seemed like no-one knew about this great Yahoo! service that offered unlimitd storage for your photos. One thing I didn't like about it was the poor organization of photo albums -- you couldn't sort them by date or anything, all you had to label them with was a name. I started uploading my photos here, but then I realized how stupid it was to rely on this as my primary source of storage. I knew that inevitably the service would go offline, and I would loose all my precious photos, I just decided that picking up an external hard-drive with nightly backups was a safer bet to ensure I never lost a single photo. Now I've saved myself from this big headache. I would end up just downloading everything, I couldn't risk it. I saw this coming a long time ago.
