San Francisco (pte032/06.05.2005/13:44) - Yahoo Inc. http://www.yahoo.com announced that its video search service has now been officially launched. The service allows web users to locate news clips, music videos, movie trailers and independently produced videos from sources such as CBSNews.com, MTV.com and IFILM.com.
The Yahoo Video Search, located at http://video.search.yahoo.com , was tested in December 2004.
Rival search providers such as Google Inc http://www.google.com , Microsoft Corp. and Ask Jeeves Inc., and newbies such as Blinkx are all in competition to provide consumers with high tech web services and to making the most of the advertising profits.
Accessible using Yahoo Video Search are news clips from CBS News and Reuters, music videos from Country Music Television, MTV.com and VH1.com and movie clips and trailers from IFILM.com. Video clips from Scripps Network's Home & Garden Television and The Food Network as well as from Discovery Communications' Discovery Channel, Animal Planet and Travel Channel are also available.
Yahoo's Video Search launch came days after Google announced its own version of a similar programme. Google Video's new partners include the Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, the Discovery Health Channel, CNN, and others.
