Music Search Wars: Yahoo! Goes for Music Video Search Supremacy

It's no secret that music searches comprise a large number of searches on the web today. That's why the music search wars have heated up in recent weeks with rumors and announcements surrounding efforts by Google, Facebook, and MySpace.

Yahoo! has been a player in music search for a long time, but now they're amping up their game with music video search. They're including a special section on the left sidebar to help you filter results.

This seems to only happen with artists and bands of a certain popularity. You can see the left sidebar filter for U2, Foo Fighters and Coldplay, but not for Paramore, Jet or The Swell Season. You get the left rail for Frank Sinatra but not Dean Martin.

The left rail contains albums and songs. Click on one to see videos related to your selection.

What do you think of Yahoo! Music Video search? Let us know in the comment section below.

Yahoo! Enables Inline Viewing for Video Search

Yahoo! has introduced a somewhat controversial feature into their video search: inline viewing. The feature allows searchers to view videos directly on the search results page instead of taking them to the site where the video is hosted.

Of course, if you are one of those sites, you want that traffic to your site. But with the large number of videos that are embeddable, it means that videos are being viewed off-site anyway.

If you want to use the inline viewing feature, simply click "Play Now" under the thumbnail of the video search result you wish to see. A larger overlay window will appear, containing the selected video.

Bing also enables inline viewing, but as a preview. This is relevant since Yahoo! and Bing are working on getting their recently announced search deal approved by government antitrust regulators. In the meantime, Yahoo! pursues competitiveness in search, a smart move in case the deal doesn't get approved.

152 Million U.S. Internet Users Watched 16.8 Billion Online Videos in April

comScore has just released April 2009 data from the comScore Video Metrix service, which shows that nearly 152 million U.S. Internet users watched 16.8 billion online videos during the month, representing an increase of 16 percent over March. This means 78.6 percent of the total U.S. Internet audience viewed online video in April, and the average online video viewer watched 385 minutes of video, or 6.4 hours.

According to a press release, "A significant increase in video viewing at YouTube during April contributed to the month's sizeable gains."

107.1 million viewers watched 6.8 billion videos on YouTube.com -- which is 63.5 videos per viewer. By comparison, 49 million viewers watched 387 million videos on MySpace.com -- which is 7.9 videos per viewer. About 45.4 million viewers watched 355.2 million videos on Yahoo! Sites -- which is 7.8 videos per viewer. And 40.1 million viewers watched almost 397 million videos on Hulu -- which is an average of 9.9 videos per viewer.

In other words, YouTube not only has an audience that is more than twice as large, this audience also watches six to eight times more videos per month.

At SES London 2009, I interviewed Li Evans about online video. She was with KeyRelevance back then, but is now the Director of Social Media at Serengeti Communications. Li talked about how putting your brand out via YouTube is becoming a new marketing channel for companies.

Li will also be one of the panelists at SES Toronto next week in the session "Optimizing for Video Search: Virgin Territory?" The other panelists will be Gregory Markel, Founder/President, Infuse Creative, LLC, and Amanda Watlington, Owner, Searching for Profit.

The moderator of the "Optimizing for Video Search: Virgin Territory?" session will be Mona Elesseily, Director of Marketing Strategy, Page Zero Media. If you go to SES Toronto, remember to compliment Mona for having, "Nice shoes." I forgot at one conference and paid dearly for my oversight.

Mona Elesseily of Page Zero Media and Greg Jarboe of SEO-PR compare their "nice shoes" at SES New York.

AOL, MSN, MySpace And Yahoo! Strike Deal for Video

News Corporation and NBC today announced the launch of an Internet video distribution network that will bring as soon as this summer television content to the Internet within hours of its first time distribution. AOL, MSN, MySpace and Yahoo! will be the new site's initial distribution partners. It is also anticipated that the site will include consumer-generated video as well as thousands of hours of full-length television programming, videos and clips. This will include premium content from a dozen networks and major film studios.

This network will offer free long- and short-form video. Each of the distribution partners will show the content via a customized embedded player. The venture promises on-air and on-line advertising opportunities. Initial advertisers already lined up include Cadbury Schweppes, Cisco, Esurance, Intel and General Motors. This distribution network will provide advertisers and users a powerful alternative to YouTube. Is Google worried? According to reports in the LA Times Google executives disdain for the project and have nicknamed the consortium: Clown Co. It remains to be seen who will have the last laugh.

Online video usage increasing as TV viewing declines

Safa Rashtchy, Managing Director and Senior Internet Analyst at Piper Jaffray & Co., has just reported the results of their latest survey of online users, which suggests that video usage is rapidly increasing, while TV viewing is declining. Google's YouTube is the top destination for video, ahead of TV Networks, with Google Video itself in the third place.

Rashtchy says this "suggests the mainstreaming of video usage is going beyond just amateur videos." He adds, "While YouTube became popular because of its variety of user-generated videos, we believe YouTube has now established a solid position as the main destination for video consumption overall. Further, with a proper strategy, YouTube could secure the top market share as video consumption expands."

Yahoo Acquires Jumpcut To Add Editing Tools To Yahoo Video

Yahoo announced that they have acquired Jumpcut, a company that allows you to create videos by remixing them and then sharing them with friends, who can then remix your videos. Jumpcut has an extensive online toolset to remix videos with their online editing tools. Yahoo said that this acquisition will make "Yahoo Video an even better place for people to create, share, and discover great video online."

Yahoo Teams Up With Gore's Current TV

The news is buzzing about the Current TV and Yahoo partnership. Current TV, founded by Al Gore, and Yahoo announced the launch of The Yahoo Current Network. This network is to "combine professional and user-generated video clips" reports the New York Times. The paper says each show will likely "be preceded by a 15- or 30-second commercial," which is the first time Yahoo "included commercials with user-generated content." TechCrunch notes that this video at Yahoo describes a bit more about how the shows will run, and it also describes "VC2," viewer created content (i.e. user generated content). The user contributed videos can earn $100 for each chosen clip and if that clip is broadcast on Current's television network, you can earn between $500 and $1,000, according to the New York Times.

This is all somewhat a bit interesting in the sense that Google has a long standing relationship with Current TV. They launched the Google Current (more also here) show on Current TV a bit back. Plus Al Gore has been an adviser to Google in the past. Gore said, "Yahoo is very different from Google. Yahoo for a long time has been much more in the media space." Yahoo is a media company, Google is a search company.

Yahoo Video Allows Uploads & Sharing

Yahoo Video, previously offering content found only by crawling the web, now has changed to also allow uploads from content owners, similar to services that YouTube and Google Video offer. I'm away at our SES London show, so I can't take a longer look at the service now. Instead, TechCrunch has a short review here and the press release is below. TechCrunch is disappointed that the product isn't integrated into Flickr. Putting video into Flickr is something that Yahoo's debating, they told me when I talked with them about upcoming changes last month. However, there's a concern that it might change the style or usage of Flickr too much and remains something the company is examining and debating. So stay tuned. The press release:

Yahoo! Debuts Next Generation Video Experience

Yahoo! Video combines search, upload and community, enabling publishers to be discovered by users everywhere in the world of online video

SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 1, 2006 - Yahoo! Inc., (Nasdaq: YHOO) a leading global Internet company, today introduced Yahoo! Video (http://video.yahoo.com), an online video destination that combines the power of Yahoo! Search with new upload, browse and community features. These new services, coupled with Yahoo!?s extensive and highly engaged global audience, uniquely position Yahoo! to deliver a comprehensive, entertaining online video experience to users and an unparalleled distribution platform to video publishers.

Yahoo! Video allows users to access the most popular and relevant videos on the Internet including Lazy Ramadi, The Glomp, and the latest Shakira music video. It brings together content in more ways than any other video Web site by crawling the Web, accepting uploads, receiving direct feeds from partners, and leveraging the Yahoo! Media Group?s unique content and industry relationships. As a leader in online video, Yahoo! already hosts and serves hundreds of millions of music, news, sports, movies, and television videos per month. Now, Yahoo! Video combines these assets with content from across the Web and directly from publishers, enabling users to determine what videos are most important to them:

? Featured, Popular, Category and Tag sections enable users to easily browse for videos.

? Users can subscribe to and watch channels, groups of videos related by source or topic, to stay current on content from their favorite publishers.

? Users can access the largest database of videos on the Web through Yahoo! Search

Additionally, Yahoo! Video enables users and video enthusiasts to participate in an active social community by rating, reviewing and sharing videos. Users can save videos to a ?My Favorites? section and then tag them, making retrieval easier. Friends can share content via Yahoo! Mail and Yahoo! Messenger. In addition, users can also share uploaded videos by embedding a version of a Yahoo! Video player with the video of their choice into their Web site or blog for the world to see.

Yahoo! offers video publishers the opportunity to be discovered by millions. Yahoo! Video empowers publishers with free tools and a platform to distribute their content and to create both individual identity and shared communities around video. Publishers can:

? Upload videos to Yahoo! Video, manage content, and track views and ratings through ?MyStudio?

? Potentially have their videos featured on Yahoo! Video, within a Yahoo! property, or on the Yahoo! Homepage

Yahoo and MSN to Offer Video Archive of Super Bowl TV Commercials

For many people tuning into the Super Bowl (aka "the Big Game") is not about watching a football game, American football that is, but rather viewing the commercials. Every year several sites make those commercials available online and this year will be no different. We've learned that Yahoo, in cooperation with IFILM, will offer an archive of this year's commercials on Yahoo Video shortly after the game ends on Sunday evening.

You'll also be able to watch commercials from past "Big Games."

IFILM content can currently searched via Yahoo Video and BlinkxTV as well as their own site.

Postscript: Microsoft has informed us that they will also provide an archive of Super Bowl commercials on MSN Video.

Some Advanced Search Syntax from Yahoo Hacks and the Launch of Rough Cuts from Safari Tech Books

The Yahoo Search team has allowed Paul Bausch, author of Yahoo Hacks, to share a couple of the many "hacks" from his book on the Yahoo Search Blog. The first edition of Yahoo Hacks was published in October.

In the post, Paul explains and offers examples of a couple of cool pieces of advanced search syntax (aka meta words) for Yahoo Image Search (width: and height:) that allow the searcher to specify the precise size of the image they're looking to find. Bausch also mentions aspect: for use with Yahoo Video Search, It lets the user specify the "aspect ratio" of the video material one hopes to find. Paul does a good job of explaining why this might be useful to a video searcher.

You can find a few more Yahoo Hacks here.

I also noticed that the full text of the book is accessible and searchable online via Safari Tech Books, an fee-based service that I've mentioned several times on the blog during the past year. Safari lets the user search and read hundreds if not thousands of full text books online. Unlike other services, there is no limit on how much one can read online. Btw, numerous libraries (public, academic, corporate) provide free access to Safari.

Safari is co-owned by O'Reilly and the Pearson Technology Group and contains books from many publishers. You can try the service for free for two weeks.

Postscript: While we're on the subject of Safari, they officially launched a new service today called "Rough Cuts." It allows users to access "sneak peeks" of new books before they're published either by reviewing them online or downloading as a PDF file.

Similar to the nightly build in a software project, the Rough Cuts PDF is updated every time the author and editor make changes as they progress toward the finished book. Using the Rough Cuts service?s built-in Notes feature, readers can send feedback, suggestions, bug fixes, and comments directly to the author and editor.

You can learn more here and see what books currently offer "Rough Cuts" on this page.

Redesigned Yahoo Video Home Page Now Online

Today, you'll notice a redesigned Yahoo Video home page that is much more aesthetically pleasing. You'll see a lot more color and three modules that include: + Featured videos Note: that below each thumbnail is a link to "Find More." Clicking this link runs a search on a topic related to the clip. I selected one clip, clicked "find more" and the search was for the term "funny." Is that really a helpful search? + New videos + Popular clips (include is a list of some of the companies that Yahoo has content deals with)

In terms of search, I don't see any changes to the advanced search page or search results pages. The Yahoo Search Blog has the official announcement.

It was almost one year ago (it will officially be one year next week) that the Yahoo Video team, launched a Yahoo Video beta and at the same time, with Jeremy's help. launched the Media RSS format.

Here are a few other posts about Yahoo Video from the past year: + New Content Added to Yahoo Video Database, Video Search Leaves Beta + Yahoo Video: The "Super" Network + Yahoo Video Search Expands, On Home Page + Google and Yahoo talking to CBS About a "Slew of Video Opportunities + Yahoo Adds Video Search Tab to Several Local Yahoo Sites + Yahoo Yammys To Honor Online Video Through Contest

Google and Yahoo talking to CBS About a "Slew" of Video Opportunities

Although this Reuters article is headlined: CBS says in talks with Google for video search, it also points out that CBS has also been talking with Yahoo about video search and on-demand video.

“We’re talking to them about a whole slew of things including video-on-demand, including video search,” [CBS chairman Leslie] Moonves told Reuters in an interview regarding Google, ahead of Reuters’s Media and Advertising Summit next week...CBS’s discussions have not been restricted to Google and have also included talks with Yahoo, although deals with none of them have yet been struck.

It's worth noting that the recent availability of the premiere episode of "What About Chris" on Google Video came via a deal with UPN. This network is owned by the parent of CBS, Viacom.

At the moment, multimedia engines like BlinkxTV make some news content from CBS available. Other multimedia engines ncluding AOL Video Search also offers programming (clips, previews, behind the scenes material) from HBO, CNN, and others. HBO, CNN, and AOL are all owned by Time Warner.

Postscript: Actually, CBS already has a video content deal with Yahoo for news content It was announced in May when Yahoo Video Search left beta.

Winners of Yahoo Video Search Yammys Revealed

May we have the envelope please!

About a month ago Danny blogged about the The Yammy Video Search Awards from Yahoo that would honor the best in original online video. Yammy winners would receive a number of prizes (including a plasma TV for the grand prize winner).

This afternoon winners of the Yahoo Yammys were announced.

The winning video is titled "Twinkle Toes" and was directed by Marty Putz. It can be viewed online along with other audience favorities.

Yahoo Video: The "Super" Network

The September issue of Wired is out and it features a very positive article about Yahoo's video search efforts focusing on the development of the Yahoo Media Group in Santa Monica and the work of Bradley Horowitz, senior director of Yahoo's Technology Development Group. Jeremy Zawodny is also mentioned in the article as the person who got MediaRSS going. More in the Wired article: The Super Network.

Btw, before Horowitz joined Yahoo he was the founder of Virage (now part of Autonomy). If you're interested in some cool and even useful demos of Virage's search technology, you'll find several on the PBS site. One allows you to keyword search and view online most segments of the PBS NewsHour back to 2001. Here's a list of links via my ResourceShelf site.

For more on video search, see: A Look At Other Video Search Tools.

Postscript: A small "technical" error. In the article, you'll read:

Think of trying to find a book in the Library of Congress with no database, no card catalog, no Dewey decimal system.

What's the problem with that sentence? The Library of Congress does not use the Dewey Decimal System to classify materials. They use Library of Congress Classification (LCC). LCC is used in many large libraries in the US and elsewhere. Also, when searching by subject in any library catalog your not searching on classification numbers (Dewey, LCC, etc.) but on verbal subject headings, Library of Congress Subject Headings. More on subject headings and classification here.

Yahoo News Adding More Video Content

A brief AP article reports that Yahoo News will soon add streaming video news clips from CNN and ABC News.

No word about whether or not the clips (either metadata or transcript search) will also be searchable via Yahoo Video search. Metadata from selected CNN video clips is currently searchable either directly from CNN or via Blinkx. Yahoo News currently allows you to browse video content from the CBC, AP, and Reuters. Yahoo Video Search also allows you to conduct transcript searches of video from Bloomberg News. Fee-based services like ShadowTV, TV Eyes, and Critical Mention offer real-time transcript searching and viewing of material from many television networks and local stations.

Flash Content Added to Yahoo's Video Database

The Yahoo Video Search database received a major update last night. The Yahoo Search Blog notes that you'll now find more international material and support for Macromedia Flash content (animations, games, etc.) A tweak has also been made to the Yahoo Video Advanced Search Interface allowing you to limit a search to Flash material.

New Content Added to Yahoo Video Database

Yahoo has just added a bunch of new content to their video search database as Yahoo Video Search leaves beta and moves to version 1.0. Material comes from a variety of new content partners.

What's New?

Content from: + Bloomberg Business Television Here, Yahoo Video will allow you to keyword search every word spoken during Bloomberg Television broadcasts. This could be a great tool for the business researcher. You're actually searching both the closed-captioning and metadata associated with each segment. Material from Bloomberg comes via a deal Yahoo announced with TVEyes. Yes, they're the same company that just launched the Podscope search engine that allows you to keyword search podcasts.

Btw, to limit your search to only Bloomberg content, use the syntax site:tveyes.com along with your search terms in the query string.

When you search material from the following new Yahoo Video content providers, you'll be searching metadata associated with each video file. + CBS + Discovery Channel + MTV + Reuters + Home & Garden Television + The Food Network + VH1 + Moving Image Archive (via the The Internet Archive) The Prelinger Archives is part of what Yahoo is indexing. Great Stuff!

Material from these content partners will be comingled with other material in the Yahoo Video database. This "other" material comes from other content partners and Yahoo's crawl of "open web" video files. When Yahoo launched Yahoo Video last December they also released Media RSS, an "enclosure" that any content producer can include in the metadata of their media files when submitting them to Yahoo.

As I mentioned the other day, BlinkxTV and Google Video also provide searchable access to video material including content from some of the same sources that Yahoo is now providing access to.

Unlike Google Video, Yahoo Video allows you to search and then view the full motion video online. At the present time, Google Video only provides thumbnail images of video content. BlinkxTV also offers the ability to search and view full-motion video online. More about video search in this News.com article by Stefanie Olsen.

TiVo Talks to Google and Yahoo

Can you name another service that here in America that has become a verb as quickly as Google has? I can, it's TiVo.

Stefanie Olson and Richard Shim at News.com report in TiVo courts search giants that unnamed sources are saying that the digital video recording company is in talks with both Yahoo and Google about some type of partnership. Another source says that TiVo is also talking to both companies about a possible equity investment. No one from TiVo, Google, or Yahoo would comment on the story. Stay tuned. (-:

Last month, TiVo announced a major partnership with Comcast (a major cable tv company in the U.S.), that will allow Comcast customers that opportunity to use TiVo services.

"...a TiVo deal might allow Google or Yahoo users to find video files on the Web and then watch them on their televisions. Web surfers might provide some personal information, including their TiVo serial box number, in order to download video directly to their TiVo box. A credit card number might also be required, if the video had an associated fee. TiVo would collect a share of the fees from either customer payment or from advertising-supported video."

On a related note (in the sense that it involves video) is news that Sony Pictures Entertainment will announce that they will soon begin building a digital library of its film content.

Yahoo! Adds Video Search Tab to Several Local Yahoo! Sites

It appears that Yahoo! wants more of the world to know about and use their video search database. I noticed this morning that the company has just added a tab for Yahoo! Video Search on several local Yahoo! sites. In some cases, the tabs are found on both the clutter/ad-free search page as well primary Yahoo! home page. I spotted the new tab at: + Yahoo! Asia No tab but a link to video search is found at top of the homepage + Yahoo! Australia Tab is also visible on primary homepage. + Yahoo! Canada No tab but a link to video search is found at top of the primary homepage + Yahoo! Singapore No tab but a link to video search is found at top of the homepage + Yahoo! UK/Ireland Tab is also visible on primary homepage.

Yahoo Video Search Expands, On Home Page

Late word from Yahoo! that as of 9PM PST tonight Yahoo! Video Search will be accessible via a tab on the Yahoo homepage. A video search tab will also become visible on the Search.yahoo.com interface. YVS will remain in beta.

Additionally, Yahoo! is announcing a new relationship (the content will not be available as of tonight) with TVEyes. In the near future (an exact date is not available) Yahoo! Video Search will allow you to search every word spoken during television news broadcasts from the BBC, Sky News, and Bloomberg. You'll be searching the closed captioning associated with the broadcast and then can click to view the full-motion video of your search terms being spoken.

It's worth pointing out that video search databases like BlinxTV and audio search database, Speechbot, use speech recognition technology to create a searchable transcript that you search by entering keywords into the search box. BlinkxTV offers content from many television and radio broadcasters (including the BBC) while Speechbot offers more than 15,000 hours of keyword searchable radio programming.

For the majority of the content in the Yahoo! Video Search database you're actually searching the metadata and contextual data associated with each video file that the Yahoo spider finds in its crawl of open web content. Yahoo recently launched Media RSS, a new RSS format to make finding and crawling this type of content easier.
