Yahoo revamps video site, tries to catch trend

Posted by Maddie Hanna on June 5, 2006 at 2:50 PM
Yahoo has reworked its video search capabilities and last week unveiled a new video site, video.yahoo.com, designed to compete with similar sites run by Google, AOL, MSN, YouTube.com and MySpace.com.

The site will allow users to store, upload, review and rate videos, according to PCWorld.com, as well as browse by category. The Yahoo Video player can be embedded in personal Web sites or blogs, allowing users to share videos.

The updated search uses a Yahoo database that connects Yahoo-hosted material with other Web content. Recently online video has soared in popularity, and Yahoo hopes to win over a larger chunk of Web video users — YouTube leads, accounting for 43 percent of visits to video sites during a week in May, then MySpace at 24 percent — with the new features.
