Podtech interview with Yahoo! on multimedia search

Jeff Karnes, director of multimedia search for Yahoo! was interviewed by Podtech.net, discussing, among other things, the emergence of the Web as media platform. Great read and podcast.

Jeff says:

Part of [Yahoo's strategy] was to align with our vision in search, which is to enable people to find, use, share, and expand all human knowledge. Part of that was to look at the vertical applications. We looked at the query logs and we looked at what the users were doing. We found that whether it was video, audio, or an image, there were a lot of folks that were doing that type of search. What we have recently done is we have started to introduce more discovery. So we do try to help you discover what is on the video Internet at any one time.
