We are thrilled to announce that we’ve been acquired by Google and will soon be joining the YouTube team, aligning us with the market leaders in online video. Together we’ll apply what we’ve learned about the space, and we’ll work to develop innovative products and features for the YouTube community. We believe we’ve only scratched the surface in terms of what’s possible with online video, and we are really looking forward to taking the video viewing — and creating — experience to the next level.Via：Omnisio has been acquired By Ryan, Co-founders of Omnisio
It’s in this spirit that we’re thrilled to announce Google’s purchase of Omnisio, a small California-based startup that’s focused on making online video more useful and collaborative. The Omnisio team has tremendous technical expertise when it comes to advanced video tools and having this kind of talent at YouTube should help us further explore ways to enhance your YouTube experience.Via：YouTube and Omnisio Join Forces By The YouTube Team
Omnisio支持从Youtube，Google Video，Blip.tv三个视频分享服务网站获取视频进行编辑，此外也可以通过本地视频上传，或者在线录制视频。同时人们还可以在其中添加评论等等。
Google之前花费16.5亿美元收购了Youtube网站，Youtube目前已经成为全世界最大的段视频分享网站。不过，Google目前面临一个Youtube叫好不叫座的问题，而且在功能性方面与其他视频分享网站比较雷同。相信这次google收购Omnisio是为了改善Youtube的产品形式，并提高Youtube的竞争力。
