Yahoo Video Search Beta

An anonymous reader sent in some pointers to Yahoo rolling out a video search tool. We've mentioned searching digital video previously, and AltaVista (remember them?) also has a video search available.

    First thing I searched was "Paris Hilton"... I have to say it brought up quite a few clips of her being interviewed. But it was missing one special clip for me to really give it two thumbs up.

      Hmm... The opposite happens if I search for my profession. Aiiiee! Way too much information! Please assassinate that guy, he's giving us a worse name than we've already got. :-(

      I just tried this search, too. I was struck by a couple of things:

      1) Man, that chick is skinny! Someone get her a cheeseburger. And I'm not one of those guys who's into so-called "BBW" type women, either. I just don't get into women who have asses like 12 yo boys.
      2) She was, what, 18, when this clip was made? Just goes to show that sometimes enthusiasm is a poor substitute for experience.

      The same reason people type fuck as f*ck: non-phonetic, non-mathematic cryptography.

      If you have a tool that scrapes employees typing logs, would you grep for porn or for pr0n? Knowing now what we know, you'd use pr0n, because it's so popular on the internet, but ten years ago...?
