Google, meet TiVo. (17 Jun 2006)
This article looks at the effort to make video clips as searchable as text on Internet search engines. Finding text is easy, but finding video is not. Imagine you wanted to find, say, the episode of "The Simpsons" in which Homer makes psychedelic chilli. Type those keywords into a search engine such as Google, and you will find testaments to its side-splitting humour--but not the episode itself. Not yet, anyway. Search is, however, coming to video. As it does, consumers will be able to type in a favourite line from a film and find it, says Suranga Chandratillake, co-founder of Blinkx, a video search-engine. In anticipation, big websites such as Google, Yahoo! and AOL have started to offer basic video-search capabilities, and upstarts such as Blinkx and TVEyes (which has teamed up with Yahoo!) have popped up as well. The opportunity is immense--searching video content could create a web-based television network, just as Google uses its search engine to assemble a virtual web-based newspaper. It could also be helpful in digital video recorders such as the TiVo, by making programmes easier to access.Full Text Word Count:921D
