Videos at the Ready: Searchles Serves Up Related Videos For Every Post

We've launched a related videos widget for every link page on Searchles! Now when checking out a link info page, you can also easily view related Youtube videos right there without skipping a beat. We could all use a little less time wasted on video search over at Youtube so thought we'd do the work for you and serve up relevant videos right here on Searchles!


In effect, what we've done here is leverage our Searchles Discovery technology to serve as matchmaker between the content of a web page that has been posted to Searchles and the recent youtube videos that are related to that article, blog post, etc. Checking out a link about to Obama's tax policies?? All the recent Youtube videos related to those topics (obama, taxes, income tax, election 08, etc.) are right there next to the link and are mashed up into a Searchles TV player that streams the videos back-to-back or easily lets you jump from one video to the next.

We're also working to have this widget available for online publishers and bloggers to grab and embed on their own sites. Imagine grabbing a piece of code and serving up related videos to your readers on every blog post! So stay tuned-in to Searchles TV...
