Search Battle Heading to Video

loid_void wrote to mention a Wired story covering the video search battle between the major portals. From the article: "As millions of broadband subscribers who missed a wardrobe-malfunction moment on TV can attest, the internet can be a convenient resource for finding much-talked-about events on video. Large net portals and a handful of smaller sites are looking to change that. In recent weeks, Yahoo, Google and MSN have each rolled out services designed to make it easier to upload or locate video online. The portals' rollouts come as a handful of startups and independent film sites are creating tools to make putting video online nearly as simple as publishing text."

    Seems a bit poorly worded to me.

    As millions of broadband subscribers who missed a wardrobe-malfunction moment on TV can attest, the internet can be a convenient resource for finding much-talked-about events on video.

    Finding videos on the internet is easy.

    Large net portals and a handful of smaller sites are looking to change that.

    So they're going to make it harder?

    In recent weeks, Yahoo, Google and MSN have each rolled out services designed to make it easier to upload or locate video online.

    But they're going to do that by making it easier?

    Eighth post?
