A new arrival in the battle of video searches. Currently a video searcher might choose Google (which now indexes its own videos, and offers a homepage filter for it), Yahoo (which queries additional videos beyond those on Yahoo), or simply go to YouTube directly (which is typically what I do).
Now there’s a new option. Videoronk.com.
This is the most amazing reaction I’ve had to “Beyond Viral” (a book I published via David M. Scott and Wiley last fall). Here’s Moomay’s dog Jack devouring the content.
Remember The Richter Scales and their controversial “Here Comes Another Bubble?” Common- a photographer named Lane Hartwell sued, and they had to pull the video down? I was furious and held a contest for those who could do the best mosh-up of Hartwell’s photos? Courtesy of TechCrunch, here are The Richter Scales at TechCrunch’s “The…
Remember my post about 10 reasons online-video advertising (the smart ways) will be recession proof? Here’s something written days later, and worth reading. Good for creators worrying about your revenue in 2009, or advertisers looking how to spread your 2009 spending… From Jack Meyers’ media report. “Marketers need to determine how they can put less money…
Amazon loves me. I’ll tell you how I know, and even show you the proof. You see Amazon recently differentiated itself with the Kindle “mayday” button that allows it direct contact. This is a sharp contrast from Google, where getting a human is like requesting the algorithm behind organic search rankings. Today I had my…
As regular readers know, two of my videos were placed on Break.com without my consent. To its credit, Break quickly fixed the attribution, and offered to pay me $400. The contract was fairly restrictive so I decided to forgo the money. Some of you were begging me to expose the event, but I decided to…
“What’s it like? Having all those people watch you and comment on your life,” iJustine asks iChannel‘s “i,” in one of the last episodes since the show went on hiatus in May after 40 episodes. “It sucks,” he replies. “From what I hear there are people that do this voluntarily.” The irony, of course, is…

Marquis- that’s helpful information. I only tried a few searches and it did okay. I wonder what it crawls… title, username, tags, description. Sounds like it’s missing some sites and fields.
The other sad thing is that it doesn’t default to searching all sites. That should be 99% of the user’s goal.
Looks like it prefers GoogleVideo uploads
