AOL Video Search Chief to Content Creators: Use Rich Text Annotation to Get Clips Found
At the Streaming Media West Conference on Tuesday, I had the good fortune to chat with keynote speaker Tim Tuttle, a pioneer in online video search. Tim founded the San Francisco-based Truveo and sold it to AOL earlier this year. He now heads video search for AOL and is a Vice President.
Tim explained to me the approach of AOL and urges content developers to take advantage of the API's offered for free by AOL to maximize search.
I asked him which form of online video is more searchable: Flash or downlodable files. He says it doesn't matter, but providing "rich text" or meta data is key to making video easy to find.

Before you do business of any kind with AOL, google for "Vincent Ferrari". AOL is a cirminal organization, and the sooner they go out of business, the better.
