+ Search for Web-Based Video via IM
Although the search interface is very basic and advanced search is not available, we’ve become big fans of SearchforVideo.com because it does a great job aggregating video clips from thousands of sources (both mainstream and user contributed) and also providing (equally important) relevant results. Recently, SearchforVideo.com added a new feature that allows the user to search for video clips via three instant messaging clients (AOL Instant Messanger, MSN Messenger, and Yahoo Messenger).
What other “goodies” does SFV offer?
+ A ticker of links and titles of videos as they enter the database. Cool!
+ A ticker that shows what people are viewing.
What about video available to download to your iPod? Absolutely. One click downloads to iPod ready video (you can also view online) via Searchforipod.
