Google announced that they have developed a method of reading the audio contained inside of Videos and it is now available. They acknowledge that the technology is a work in progress but what they have to date is impressive.
The Google Video Gadget can query videos based on a search term and bring the user to the exact points in the video where the query plays. These areas are identified in the movies time line and the user can roll their mouse over the section and see a popup of the text.
Currently, this gadget will only work with the Political Channel on YouTube. Considering todays climate, thats a good place to launch. Maybe one day politicians will actually have to stop denying when they have said something wrong. Probably not. Lol.

10 good bullets from wolf’s blog on SEO.
1 Unique TITLE tag for each page that includes your page’s targetted keyword(s) plus the benefit followed by Company/Site name.
2 Unique META Description tag for each page that should be used to enforce the page’s usefulness and be the marketing pitch to the visitor.
3 A CSS styled H1 tag centered around the page’s main keyword(s) focus - as a side note when I spoke with Matt Cutts at SMX Advanced he said Google doesn’t weigh the H1 tag any heavier than an H2 or H4, but it shouldn’t be used more than once.
4 Content that is both informative, unique, and useful by fulfilling a need of your target audience.
5 URLs in a non-dynamic descriptive format.
6 A flat site structure with breadcrumb links.
7 Absolute internal linking.
8 An html user friendly site map plus the backup parachute of a sitemap.xml file.
9 Robots.txt file blocking any duplicate content (print pages, etc).
10 Using 301 sever side redirects to consolidate similar pages and domain changes, including canocalization such as www vs non-www.
Other notes:Forget about the old school keyword density equations, being completely W3C compliant, creating X amount of content, pages or acquiring X amount of links.

I noticed today that actual approximate numbers are being used for these search volumes on Google and its search network.
Previously, Google provided this information expressed as a green bar, using low, average, moderate and high volumes. This was a good way to see the volume of traffic for a specific keyword but without actual numbers data.
Google says:
You’ll notice the following three columns included in your Keyword Tool results: Advertiser Competition, Approx Search Volume [Previous Month], and Approx Avg Search Volume.
