Google has warned users of its Google Video service that their content will be obliterated after May 13. Content on the video sharing service will be unavailable for playback as of April 29. An estimated 2.8 million videos are hosted on Google Video, according to one blog. Google launched the service in January 2005, but not long after Google bought YouTube for $1.65 billion in 2006 the company began transitioning Google Video into a broad video search engine. A petition is circulating online by some die-hards who are pushing Google to preserve their Google Video content.”]
