But why are you hating so much, hater? What are you? Jealous or something? Why are you so quick to dismiss the hard work of numerous talented and intelligent people?

The Darth Vader thing was clearly a joke. And yes, the system may have to feature filters that separate verified meta-data tags from random user generated ones.

Is it easy getting permission to use Hollywood-generated content this way? No, it's not easy. Is it a great accomplishment if you actually succeed? Yes, it would be a great accomplishment.

The floor on the intelligence level of this blogs audience was lowered drastically by the previous comment - a technology that allows for crowdsourced/outsourced second by second chaptering of long form content searchable by keyword is clearly important as media becomes the core part of the internet experience. anyclip is an obvious home run. the anonymous poster is an idiot.

My particularly favorite moment is when he details how "mike arrington" brings up darth vader - a perfect flaw to this entire idea - revealing how effectively nonsensically related tags bring up irrelevant clips from movies.

A sad and blaring example of why this idea won't work. As the Web 2.0 saying goes, you can bring a user to water, but you can't exactly expect that user to generate what is appropriately needed.

Liz,

To be completely fair, this is not an archive of movie scenes... AnyClip literally lets you (i.e. a developer writing an application, or consumer) query into the library and dynamically pull out exactly what you're looking for. Clip databases just don't do that.

Anyway, we'll win you over ;-)

Thanks for taking the time to write about us.
