Video Google

Check out this quotation;

There will need to be a Google of video -- a means of helping people find what they want. And, no, that's not just about creating a search engine. It's about capturing the metadata we create when we watch and share things and making sense of it. It's not trivial but it's vital for without a great guide, we'll never find the programming we want and this new medium won't work. This video Google thing will be the next Google and TV Guide and it will be big. And I doubt that either Google or TV Guide will be the one to create it.

I'm so confused about listening to music on my iPOD - some albums should be listened to as albums, sometimes it's great to listen to mixed up songs. Before digital music you looked at an album cover that was close to the top of your CD collection and the picture would conjure up an sound......The same is sort of true finding programs on the TV, be it cable or broadcast.

iPOD's and PVR's (TIVO's etc) change all that. In addition, as Jarvis points out, content is increasingly indivualised, or is that not big-corporate, so it's not as though you know where to find it, or where you find it, or whether it's what you want to listen to.

So something new is required.
