In preparing for the development of new video widgets and enhanced versions of the existing ones, I’ve been considering various apporaches. One of the killer features in the current version of Daiko’s Google VideoBar is the pop-up video player. The player certainly lifts videos out of the cramped sidebar on to the users desk regardless of the width of the sidebar.
One serious drawback of the VideoBar is that it is relatively difficult to control the results down to a detailed level. Several users are struggling to make the searches relevant to their site. Basically the results are limited by Google’s GSVideoBar interface.
I’ve earlier mentioned the possible merger of features from the Video Widget and the Google VideoBar. Exactly how that should work is still not decided and any suggestions are welcomed.

I just received my paypal transfer from Text-Link-Ads for October and that makes me want to comment on some of my experience with monetizing solutions for small scale publishers like myself.
My basic goal is to cover my expences to various hosts (I do use several) and for some of the bandwith at home.
