Google Video Search Announced
It's all over the web, but you can check out the new service: Google Video Search. Compare it to Yahoo! Video Search, AOL's Singing Fish, or the Blinkx video service.
Google's new service has a TON of potential, as soon as the content people start playing along, but for now, it's pretty crippled.
Personally, I like Google and Yahoo!'s the best. Yahoo gives the best chance of finding something random and interesting on the Web. I'm surprised Google didn't just add some metadata parsing to rm, avi and mpeg files, and then hooked it onto their normal crawler.
UPDATE: A good evaluation from the Inside Google blog, which basically states that Yahoo! Video Search is superior, because in a couple clicks, you can go ACTUALLY view the video, not just look at clips.
