Um, Google Videos is on the list? https://www.google.com/videohp?gws_rd=ssl

Google videos was originally a YouTube competitor, obviously before Google bought YouTube. It later became a search engine.

So for all intents and purposes, the original project is dead.

Google Videos pre YouTube was a video hosting service, rather than a search engine.
I remember this, it was very short lived but it indeed existed; I think it wasn't pre-YouTube though, I remember it as a direct YouTube competitor prior to the take over by Google.
