90% of all consumer IP traffic will be video. If you think this sounds implausible, consider that even today video represents well over 50% of all consumer traffic.
Last month, Doug Stephens posted about Visual Marketing on our blog.
He wrote, “The written web is steadily becoming a thing of the past. By 2013 Cisco estimates that 90% of all consumer IP traffic will be video. If you think this sounds implausible, consider that even today video represents well over 50% of all consumer traffic.”
With the web moving more towards video, it only seems natural that web search will move more towards video too.
This list includes some of the most popular video search engines:
Yahoo Video, YouTube, Google Video, AOL Video, Bing Video, MetaCafe
And here are some upcoming video search engines:
Blinkx has built a reputation as the Remote Control for the Video Web. With an index of over 35 million hours of searchable video and more than 720 media partnerships, including national broadcasters, commercial media giants, and private video libraries, it is one of the premier destinations for online TV.
Videos.com is a video search engine that indexes millions of online videos from all across the web. Search over 31,000,000 free videos from all major video sites. Over 2,500 new videos are added daily.
Unlike other similar sites that pull video from only one or a few different sources ClipBlast is pulling video from everywhere so you are just as likely to get results from ABC as you are from YouTube or MetaCafe.
Fooooo is the most used video search engine in Japan. Currently, it is possible to search videos from about 130 video/movie sharing sites in one shot.
From the beginning, Vimeo was created by filmmakers and video creators who wanted to share their creative work, along with intimate personal moments of their everyday life. As time went on, like-minded people came to the site and built a community of positive, encouraging individuals with a wide range of video interests.
VideoSurf searches Hulu, CNN, TMZ, MetaCafe, Comedy Central, Dailymotion and more to find the best entertainment videos on the web.
