I recently spoke with folks at a couple of the companies above. There is definitely money in search. IMO, the real question is: Is search the distribution vehicle of choice for web video? If so, then search gatekeepers can extract ad revenues. If it is not, and instead social networks and portals like NewTeeVee Station or Hulu are the distribution, then they can’t.

I think video search engines aren't as promising as video personalization engines. Usually, I don't know what I want to watch. I want, just like on TV, to have quality content brought to me. Which is why I think that companies like FFWDwill be the dominant way to pull videos from the Web and bring them to well-targeted end-viewers. Video search seems to be just a transitory phase.

I think it's way to early to declare anyone a winner in any new Internet category. To index, search, and discover all multimedia content on the web represents one of the last massive business opportunities on the Internet. Most new startups today don't address a problem of this scale and magnitude.

I tend to agree with Daisy. Web video search is going to be won by the company that has the deepest strength in content discovery- and today that's Google by far. We looked at this market as well and concluded that there was a much stronger business in providing a platform that helps the broadcast video industry ensure that their content is discovered by Google, Yahoo, Truveo, etc while ensuring the broadcasters retain control over their brands and the advertising.
