As Fred Wilson points out, this shows how media is a big direction for Google. I'm also curious to see how advertising in the mobile devices space pans out this year.

AOL yesterday acquired the video search engine Truveo. This is interesting in light of Google paying $1 blilion for AOL's 5% and even stinks of betrayal. Techcrunch's post with the news here, also covered by Jeff Clavier here.

They use some innovative techniques to create metadata about the media files, looking at surrounding content to determing context. Techcrunch's original review on Truveo here.

Here's a good demonstration of Truveo in action by comparing search results for Google's keynote video at CES 2006, covered earlier.

Music Blog, Yahoo yesterday acquired the online music playlist publishing company WebJay. I've never used this site myself, but it's an interesting concept. They use an open XML format for sharing playlists called XSPF (pronounced "spiff"), which should soon be available as part of Yahoo Music's already existing open APIs.

Also reported on Techcrunch and an IM interview of Lucas Gonze, the creator of WebJay.
