In yet another sign that online video is looking a lot more like TV, Veoh Networks has developed a browser and search engine that acts like an electronic version of TV Guide for Web-based content.
The application, dubbed VeohTV - currently in beta testing - is designed to combat the two biggest complaints about online video: finding a specific video is often difficult and viewing them is often even harder.
“Video lives on thousands and thousands of Web sites,” said Veoh CEO Dmitry Shapiro. “With our browser you don’t have to go to any of them. VeohTV will connect you to those Web sites to stream video directly.” Users can also download and store content for future playback like a digital video recorder.
Not unlike Apple’s iTunes or the electronic program guides found on digital cable systems, VeohTV allows users to browse for video content by channel or keyword search, store favorites and even recommends videos based on past searches.
For instance, a search on “red Corvettes” would return, in list form, any video on the Web tagged with those words, creating an instant channel that can be watched in its entirety or one at a time via Veoh’s full-screen player.
Users that have their computers hooked up to their television sets can also use the remote control to access and watch video from VeohTV.
Veoh.com, whose backers include Time Warner, Goldman Sachs and former Disney CEO Michael Eisner, among others, gets about 12 million unique visitors per month and has content deals with Paramount Pictures, Lionsgate and US Weekly, among others.

During these days, the economy is the major focus for almost all Americans. So many pundits are declaring that the Dow Jones is falling toward 8000 and forewarning consumers to “back out now.” People hear this fear-promoting assertion and quickly pull their money out of the market and limit their spending, thus everything begins to freeze. However, there are those who believe that we are in the recovery phase of a cyclical recessing, not a “massive contraction.” Economist Jeff Sachs of the Earth Institute at Columbia University and Dan Shaffer of Shaffer Asset Management points towards the light at the end of the tunnel on a recent video segment of a discussion on Fox Business Network. Sachs praises the Feds for taking on the critical problem of maintaining a good grasp on short-term money markets. Businesses would not be able to make payroll if those were to freeze. Moreover, it would become exceedingly difficult to obtain working capital. Shaffer digs into the numbers to offer the troubled an encouraging word. He evaluates America’s current recession through historical context, indentifying that there has been 14 distinct periods in American History since 1929 where indexes have fallen an average of 40 percent or more. The drop was more than 49 percent recently in 1973, and still the country survived. Nonetheless, there will be people investing in various industries. Huge entrepreneurs who have money to invest – people like Warren Buffet – will notice the wide open space with almost no competitors and dive in to invest while the price is right. What had been damaged is well on the way toward repair, so don’t pull out and hide! This is the only way we know to keep the system going for everyone. If you run into some short-term problems, understand that products like short term installment loans are an option for help. Let’s continue to stimulate our country’s economy.
