You find lots of examples, like why do we still "hangup" a phone call? Or use the word "Dial" to call someone? There were never mobile phones with dials and you can't hangup a mobile phone. I guess you could say that technology evolves and so do terms associated with it. If that makes sense at all. ;-) Familiar terms are used to express the functionality of “new” technology, so the people exposed to it know or at least have an idea of what it does.

If they were smart enough to leave Google while it was losing its mojo then add another +++ for their smarts (IMO) and having enough guts to go for it on their own.

I saw this on Techcrunch today and signed up. Brightcove has been the best I have found so far, but I like the analytics that Ooyala is providing. I'll continue to try it out and see if it's a replacement for Brightcove. Keep up the great work Ooyala. Brightcove take note: you shouldn't have done away with those valuable analytics that showed the percentage of how much of the video was played.

Unless they come out with something more powerful than an enhanced resolution google earth... they are going to be constrained to being the most powerful search platform and data warehousing company. Adwords and in general advertising was the only thing that gave google the incredible market cap it has. But purchases like youtube for $1B to get visability are not sound long-term plans.
