Google Acquires Video Site Omnisio 
By: Robert Scoble 2008-07-31 Google has bought video annotation site Omnisio to have their team join the YouTube team. Omnisio, as covered before, allows users to mix together YouTube videos. Also, Omnisio visitors can add comments over the videos in specific time frames " a feature that made some early Omnisio videos completely unwatchable, but youre now able to select whose comments youd like to see overlaid. The acquisition statement on the Omnisio homepage says, Weve been continually surprised by the creative and interesting stuff our users have built on the Omnisio platform " from hilarious video compilations, to witty (and yes sometimes over the top) in-video comments, to informative presentations with slides synced with video. (Ionut Alex. Chitus comment: I dont know if YouTubes community can write witty comments.) An online video editor is a good idea but its something the YouTube team didnt manage to pull off so far, despite tries " their YouTube Remixer was slow and somewhat feature-weak when it was released, and it was later removed. Omnisios editor was a working start but Im sure theres still much more to improve in this space... perhaps thats something the Omnisio founders Ryan Junee, Julian Frumar and Simon Ratner will be thinking about in the future.
