Google Video has given itself (http://googlevideo.blogspot.com/2008/04/google-video-gets-facelift.html) a redesign (http://video.google.com/), adding some nice search tweaks and a fresh new look. Now when you search for a video, results can be viewed through a regular list, a grid, or a TV view that lets you watch a video while you scan through other results.

And if you’re searching for something but have little more than a vague recollection of when it was popular, you can use the new timeline feature, which shows you most viewed, shared, blogged, etc. videos on a linear dateline you can use to scroll back in time.

One problem the redesign hasn’t eliminated is copyright infringers. As CNET pointed out (http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9921916-7.html?tag=nl.e703), it was a year ago that Google CEO Eric Schmidt said the company would roll out a means of stamping out piracy at YouTube. And while YouTube launched its Video Identification (http://newteevee.com/2007/10/15/youtube-finally-launches-video-id-tool/) system in October, content owners are finding the results “inconclusive.”
