In-Depth Information
While Google Video does ofer some feeds (including for its most popular
and for comedy videos), RSS feeds do not appear to be available for search
results. You need to use a page monitor to trap these.
Searchforvideo
Searchforvideo's front page includes a huge index of categories, as well as
a listing of popular videos and featured publishers (searchforvideo.com/).
here are also pointers to podcasts that have videos as well. Just glancing
at the front page leaves the impression that Searchforvideo relects a more
“pop culture” attitude than Google Video, and searching for glaucoma
bears this out: It yields news stories, music videos, and even a few videos
from MySpace.
Searchforvideo's default coniguration for its search result is a grid, which
shows only the source of the video and a thumbnail. Be sure when experi-
menting with queries to use the detail button at the top of the search results
page so that you get snippets and a little more context about the video ( Fig-
ure 8.7 ). Notice you can also sort your results by date.
