Sounds like what has been obvious (and what I've been saying) all along: AdSense is a platform, not just the AdSense 1.x product we've all been using, and it will be used for any number of purposes.

Will "AdSense video" (to borrow the name of this thread) have any impact on us as publishers? I'd guess that will depend on the publisher and what's available.

If Google offered me European-travel video clips with ads (or even without ads) that users could view by choice, I'd probably say "cool." If Google said "How would you like to run interstitial video ads?", I'd say "No, thanks." And if Google didn't offer me video at all, I'd be perfectly content to go on making money with my current mix of Google AdSense text ads, non-Google display ads, and affiliate partnerships.
