Sky has announced that it will be joining forces with Google to bring the search company's tools to its broadband customers.


The companies have announced deals in three areas - video, communications and search - to bring customised services to Sky's broadband subscribers.


Sky will launch a user-generated video portal using Google's syndicated video content tools where users can upload their own home videos to share. The content will even be available to download onto mobile phones.
