Their video search was already the best, and now these new hosting features will probably make them number 1…

This has a surprisingly good supply considering how relatively new it is, there were a number of quality videos found that were NOT on Youtube, MySpace or Google Video.

This competition is great – it is similar to Search Engines technology of a few years ago – in the sense that some Sites will have some unique content, and searching them all will probably return the best possible overall results.

NEXT on the Platter - THE META VIDEO SEARCH ENGINE…just counting the days….

They DO allow you to embed videos in your site, and I just checked, only the videos are only partially Mac-unfriendly (like the ones hosted on Yahoo! Movies). They attempt to load in Flash but I have had trouble in Firefox, not in Safari.

Latest mantra call it any name web 2.0 , web 3.0 and even web infinity. Give user more power let them decide what they want to see, listen and read. Share the contents across the web integrate the relevant service. This should be the plan I say for any succesful company. ( Dont decide on the behalf of users). You can comment on it vijay.chandran@yahoo.com

This thing is awful... have you guys even looked at it? They don't host the videos or even allow you to watch them on the site, they don't allow an easy way to link to individual videos and they don't allow visitors to embed the videos on their own sites.

This thing isn't even close to giving YouTube, Google Video or the rest a run for their money!

The lack of Mac and Linux support is a clear indication that Google Video will reign over Yahoo in this space.

The lack of Mac support is disturbing…

Yes, Yahoo! has always dragged its feet on supporting the Mac. Which is odd because, well, everyone else does. Ubiquity should be the key.

My biggest complaint about yahoo video, even before video search, is that it doesn’t work on a Mac. (Being a big user, that’s a pretty big issue). It’s interesting to me to note, of those competitors that you mention that I’m aware of, YouTube: Flash Video, Google: Flash Video, MySpace: Flash Video … I wish Yahoo had got the route of ubiquity and used flash video. They’re certainly using flash elsewhere (http://maps.yahoo.com/beta/)
