YouTube Continues Search Engine Domination – up 31% YOY
Is anyone still wondering if search is important for video? In November of last year, YouTube surpassed Yahoo for the first time in total U.S. search queries, making it the 2nd largest search engine in the U.S. next to only its owner, Google.

Video Search Steals Revenue Out of Your Pocket?
While doing a recent search on Yahoo Video for my favorite advertisement of all time (the Cadbury Eyebrow Dance done by Glass and a Half Full) I found that they’ve implemented a Play Here button.

OpenTV + Mood Ring = Awesome Video Search?
You hear the question probably every week “what are you in the mood for?” Well OpenTV and Jinni are taking that question literally with their new partnership that will let you find video content based on your mood. I wonder what will show up when it turns black?

Video Search Queries in The Google Caffeine Sandbox
I’ve been playing around with the just-announced Google Caffeine sandbox (www2.sandbox.google.com – which is down for “system maintenance” at the moment), trying to discover any subtle differences I can find between it and the current live engine. There aren’t many. A lot of people in the SEO realm have weighed in with their initial thoughts; I thought I’d add my own.
