Google Video has just launched in the UK and 7 other countries... hot on the heels of YouTube. The difference is Google has deals to distribute content, including: Disney, Barcelona FC, the Cousteau Society, etc.

How long before media planning has to take account of online viewing? And how long before we have Ad Awards based on Google Video rankings? (People seeking out your ads, what better accolade?)

Here are two of my favorite ads doing well on YouTube...

One you probably have seen:
John West Salmon... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_VlVckrUgY

And one you might not have seen:
Unif Green Tea... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oON-pgvJJ2s&search=green%20tea%20ad
