I do not have a high opinion of Yahoo’s online video thinking. That they would invite YouTube star Kevin Nalts to speak at a conference as a second choice to YouTube cheater Dan Ackerman Greenberg only reinforces that opinion.
Nevertheless, Kevin did a good job of bringing fire to the cavemen — even falling off the […]

Chris Albrecht sees the redesign as reflective of the company’s information silo woes.
The current featured video is the new trailer for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The trailer’s video page […]
Yahoo has long mulled building a YouTube competitor on Flickr, and now they’ve purchased a piece of that puzzle.

With the release of Video Sitemaps, Google solidified its two-pronged approach to video: storage via YouTube, and search via Sitemaps. Knowledge gleaned from storage powers innovation in search: remember that YouTube videos got thumbnails in the SERPS before Sitemapped videos did.

MySpaceTV, meanwhile, is down 6%. Even though they […]
Pop quiz, online video lovers: what’s wrong with Yahoo’s latest promise to beat YouTube?
