Last week, Microsoft’s Don Dodge listed 50+ video search companies. It’s a good overview of the market, which has gotten quite crowded. I am not sure who will win the space, not even sure if one player will emerge victorious, given how fragmented the Web has gotten. Mind you, if one company does win, the odds on favorite are Google/YouTube, owner of the world’s best search technology, the world’s largest archive of videos and the world’s most valuable ad network.
While it’s not exactly a core focus of our company, we have a meta video search product, too. I figured it would be a nice addition to our product line given our core focus in video production and syndication and other search applications.
Anyway, check out the results for Vladimir Putin, for example, named Time’s Man of the Year today. The results are pretty good, no?
