“TV Guide For The Internet” Clicker Comes Out Of Beta
Nov 12, 2009 at 2:24pm ET by Greg Sterling
The label, "TV Guide for the internet," doesn't fully capture the intent or the extent of Clicker. We first wrote about the site when it appeared at the TechCrunch50 event. It was then in a closed beta. However today, a mere 58 days later, the site launches to the public with a number of new features and additional content.
Former Ask CEO Jim Lanzone, now the CEO of Clicker, has described the site as “the first structured, comprehensive and unbiased programming guide for internet television.” And in today's press release the site calls itself "Complete Programming Guide for Internet Tel [...]

Bing Launches New Video Portal With Help From MSN
Nov 10, 2009 at 7:45pm ET by Matt McGee
Bing and MSN have combined to create Bing Videos, a new video portal that combines the content from MSN Videos with Bing's search technology.
According to today's announcement (and more here), the new site combines videos from a variety of sources. The former MSN Videos offered original programming, as well content from the likes of MSNBC, Fox Sports, National Geographic, and others. Bing Videos will house that content, and offer web-based videos from sites like YouTube, Hulu, MySpace, and others.
Videos are organized into a handful of categories (News, Sports, TV Shows, etc.) and th [...]

Clicker: More Than Just A Video Search Engine
Sep 17, 2009 at 8:05am ET by Greg Sterling
It may have a search box and look like a video search engine but Clicker is not according to CEO and co-founder Jim Lanzone. In a way this may seem like a strange position to take given that Lanzone was the very partisan CEO of search engine Ask. But while Clicker does index video it primarily relies on structured data to organize and present content. It thus offers a richer and more complete user experience than can a pure video search engine, which is just crawling and relying on metadata. Metaphorically speaking there's as much Yahoo Directory in here as Google.
Lanzone in his demo a [...]

AOL’s Truveo Relaunches As Improved Video Search Destination
Jun 25, 2009 at 10:10am ET by Greg Sterling
According to comScore the average watcher of online video in the US took in 385 minutes-worth in April. And according to Nielsen, in May, "year-over-year, unique viewers, total streams, streams per viewer and time per viewer were up, led by a 49 percent growth in time per viewer." The leading video site is Google/YouTube by a large margin with almost double the unique users of Fox Interactive Media, the next ranking US online video provider. After that it becomes much more competitive.
Against that backdrop of intense competition and increasing consumer demand for online video, AOL's video [...]
