Google Video Search

About Google Video

Been looking around Google Video for the past couple minutes. It’s the new service from Google Labs that is geared towards letting you search the closed c
aption text listings from TV shows. It’s still in testing so who knows where/what this will materialize into in terms of the google’s regular searching ca
pabilities. Sure there’s a lot of TV material that could be indexed, do I have an immediate need for it, no I don’t think so.

It’ll be interesting to see where this goes and what kind of commercial partnership support there is for such an endeavor. Someone mentioned a similar ser
vice in TV Tome which seems to capture people’s tv show reviews.
