Highlight: Vote for your idol at Gidol
We have long been fans of Gidol here; we feel it's a super innovative way to use Google Video to create communities and content. The basic premise should sound familiar to anyone who's seen an 'Idol' TV show - people record themselves with a song, upload it, and go head-to-head against another video, with the viewers voting on what they like best. Visit Gidol to see more, and check out some of our favorites below.

New Feature: Link within a Video
Has this ever happened to you? You're watching this documentary on monkeys and then halfway through, this monkey does the funniest thing ever. So of course, you want nothing more than to share this hilarious monkey moment with your friends. Now, on Google Video, doing just that is easier than ever. Now you can email links to specific points inside a video! All you have to do is add the time you'd like to share to the end of a video's URL. We support hours (h), minutes (m), and seconds (s). For example, Invisible Board is a 1 min 46 sec long video but I believe the coolest part is at 1 min 26 sec, so all I have to do is add #1m26s to the link I'm going to send to my friends! Just like this: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6396990712930217422#1m26s Here's another example. Music and the Mind is a really interesting lecture from UCTV, but I don't want my friends to have to sit through the first half hour to get to the best part. So all I have to do is add #35m24s to the end of the URL and send them this: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1267626298712917200#35m24s Happy sharing!

Highlight: End of the World Cup
I was in North Beach, San Francisco right after the Azzuri won the World Cup. Fanatics were walking through the streets draped in the green, white, and red flag and singing the national anthem at top of their lungs. The reasons to celebrate were plentiful. This is the 4th World Cup Championship for the Italians, the last win was over 20 years ago in '82. In 1994, Italy lost to Brazil when it came to penalty kicks, but yesterday, history did not repeat itself. This was only the 2nd Final ever to have been decided by penalty kicks and the Azzuri won with a score of 5-3.
The French lost, but you can't deny that they played well and with honor. Zidane, arguably the best player of the past 20 years, was sent off in overtime for an intentional headbutt to the chest of an Italian defender. You can choose to focus on one of the following: that Zidane ended his outstanding career with a red card or that Zidane started his retirement with the Golden Ball. Today's Highlighted Video

World Cup Finals - What's Your Vote?
If it were up to me, the World Cup would be a yearly event, but sadly, the excitement, drama, and athleticism is coming to a close. It started with 32 teams and now only 2 remain. Who will it be? Will Zidane be able to once again summon the magic that led to French victory in Paris 8 years ago? Or will the Azzuri bring home their fourth World Championship and reclaim their status as a world power on the pitch?
