Search engines, startup media sites dream of becoming video hubs
Search engines, startup media sites dream of becoming video hubs: "So far, the world of online video is full of walls. In order to see video, you need a variety of media players, you might have to register or pay for a service, and of course you need bandwidth. But a raft of startups and search engines are here to help bring down those walls, allow anyone to upload their amateur video and other media, and make it more searchable than ever before. The catch? Major broadcasters have been slow to open up video content, worried it'll be devalued by file-sharers."
