The extension of the application would be that images and video indexed by Google would be searchable by the text located within the image or video itself, a big step forward in indexing that has not previously been available."

For those of us doing local this is VERY good news.
That definetly is a big step
Farewell, alt attribute.
I don’t see the big deal. We’ve been busting CAPTCHA images for ages...same concept.
Once Google implements this feature this might change the way the (optimized) websites look today and definitely optimizing images for Google would also take a twist.I couldn’t help but add a short article on this aspect in my blog ( http://seo-kolkata.blogspot.com ) this morningAlso, this is sure to reduce the eternal clash between web designers and SEOs in respect to use of images.
Mad Hat, I had the exact same thought. Makes me think of that series Slightly Shady SEO posted on Captcha cracking: http://www.slightlyshadyseo.com/?p=25
@Gab: Thanks!@Everyone else: I wonder if I could get some hits by putting the word "BIG TITS" or something on my roof. And a domain name, of course :-D Let their Google Earth images handle the rest
@SlightyShady - as long as "Big Tits" is relevant for your house....then I’ll be over with 20 of my friends. ;)
Ah, apologies MadHat. No relevance. Although there’s got to be a way to redirect users to a local hooker corner(via on roof catapult?)...IRL blackhat: the next big thing!
Roof capapult redirect! The google spy satelittes will spot that and ban your house. I’ll have to tell you the story of my IRL spam idea that I didn’t do (yet).
haha sure. And btw, they won’t spot me with an INVISIBILITY CLOAK[ing]Oh god. Harry potter SEO jokes. Shoot me now.
