Google, which famously runs on N thousand Linux servers (they don't say; perhaps modesty forbids), has leveraged its vast platform yet again with the launch of Google Video.

In sort-of-a hark back to the earliest days of Yahoo (which predates Google by a few years, for those of you who may not remember), Google invites folks to submit their videos to the Google directory, and conveniently provides Mac, Windows and (YES!) Linux uploaders.

At current count, Google findsa whopping total of thirteen videos off a search for "linux". (Yahoo, which has had video search for awhile, finds 4,551.)

Let's help Google out a bit, then.

And let's also let each other know how it goes. We can watch what's happening on the Google Video blog as well.
