Where did the Google News videos go?

May 10, 2012 8:51 AM

Google News videos: Up until a couple of days ago there were four or five videos displayed in the right hand column of the Google News site. Now they're gone. Is it just me? Did I change a setting that caused this. I don't think I did. Or did the site change? Can I get them back?

I've never been to Google News, so my first view should be the default, and there are no videos in the right-hand column for me. Just lots of categorized links (Recent, Editor's Picks, Spotlight, Most Popular).

Looks like the site's changed. I'm not getting side videos anymore either, and I know that i used to. Much like Amazon.com, Google News seems to almost always be running some kind of vaguely disorienting A/B test—those side videos may be back yet.

Response by poster: Thanks for the responses. That's odd -- to take video off a website.
