Yahoo! Video

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yahoo! Video began as a video search engine and later in 2006 added the ability for anyone to upload video clips to Yahoo! Video's web servers. This free service provides users with a means to search and play videos directly from Yahoo! Video, save them to their 'favorites' page, subscribe to channels for video sources, and embed videos on their web pages and blog posts.

Yahoo! Video allows you to search millions of videos from across the Web. It has combined a traditional video search engine, which crawls and links off to videos on different web sites, with a Web 2.0 service that allows users to upload, share, tag, and host their videos on Yahoo!, offering an embedded player experience like YouTube or Google Video.

The homepage contains editorially-featured videos from around the Web, including other sites like iFilm and MySpace. The homepage changes daily and skews towards viral video content.

Current TV has a business relationship with Yahoo! Video to supply video "channels" to The Yahoo! Current Network.
