YouTube uses Flash to deliver the content so I needed a flash embedding plug in for WP which was a bit tricky. The Google video was easier <strike>as it's not Flash</strike> it worked with just some <code>< code >< / code ></code> tags around it. As far as applications I think it would be great for media coverage. Google video is obviously indexed and searchable via google, and YouTube gets Flickr-sized traffic {<a href="http://www.youtube.com/w/500-kV-Switch?v=8rCCYWlMlf8&search=kv">although usually to see videos like this</a>}.

I love the way you are able to incorporate it right into a blog post. Is it difficult to do? I can see applications in the future for us in the PR industry. We do media training with clients all the time on video. We could post their sessions, feedback, etc. on a blog that only they could access. Also, how about creating an online media coverage report for clients that shows their video coverage? Wait until Joe sees this....he'll forget all about the WP 2.0 upgrade! Great test.
