Lots of stories on Google Video Search today, but a particularly fresh perspective from Jeremy Zawodny of Yahoo, who takes issues with CNET News reporter Stefanie Olsen’s article, titled Google readying Web-only video search.

Check out his corrections here, many of which have to do with whether or not the move makes the two services equal. Zawodny says it does not, and we agree. Submitted content is not the same thing as mining content from all over the web and for Google to pretend otherwise is illogical.

Speaking of video, though it’s sadly still not available on Yahoo or Google video search, we were pleased to see the SNL Cluckin’ Chicken parody get some play on the BoingBoing blog last week.
