Google Audio Indexing - http://labs.google.com/gaudi

One of the main problems for a tv/video site is the lack of texts, so users can not easily find it through search engines. However, with the new tech, just been added into Google Lab with basic search functions, we might see a big change of it in 5 -10 years.
What do you think, .TV believers?

There is a company who takes the regular news feeds from the networks. Run it through their system and creates a corresponding text that can be crawled.

the company is Syndicaster(.)TV

it's still in it's infancy they all have to work with the entries and the databases as well, but it has huge future with entries on youtube it won't be long.

Google also said the same thing about images and video.......

Especially images. They proclaimed a couple of years ago that they could create a search engine that if you uploaded an image you could search and find images based on those specs. (vector graphics or what not)

I seem to recall it came down to keywords. You could load whatever you wanted, but unless you named it appropriately, it wouldn't sync to match all the other information.

Kind of like the image idea (If I recall, it was an example of how to identify new insects or something like that), unless the uploader also put enough information text wise with the upload, it would have a tough time getting picked up unless it was VERY unique.

Yes, bulldog, I also was very excited when I first heard about Google's idea on image search, which turns out that didn't go much further after these years. However, I think there is one important thing different between Image and Video search here ..... business motivation.

Few thoughts IMO, (1) the search function on Video will have much more users than image. ( we probably can use youtube and flickr's user amount as a reference ) (2) more opportunity for Google to promote its advertising model on Youtube videos.
