Yahoo! Releases Video Search Beta
No Comments
Yahoo! released its new Video Search feature for testing Wednesday, which the company hopes to add to its site in early 2005. Yahoo!'s video search tool follows AOL's late-November release of SingingFish, which performs a similar function.
Although Yahoo! was not making public comments on the release, an entry appeared on the company's official blog Wednesday. Jeremy Zawodny of Yahoo! Search says there is a lot of video on the Internet that regular search engines are missing. "That's exactly why we're talking to a lot of our existing media partners, many of whom have sizeable video assets which have yet to be indexed," Zawodny said.
