?
? This year, Yahoo is projecting that the number of videos streamed over the ? web will grow by nearly 50 percent from last year. Citing forecasts it ? commissioned from AccuStream iMedia Research, Yahoo said ? expected to stream more than 21 billion videos in 2005, up
? last year.

?
? Yahoo's video-related rollouts come as thc company's arch rival, Googlc, is
? expanding in the video search arena. Google is cUlTently J'iniiing a beta ? version of an upload program ~https:/¿!!riload.video.google.com? that lets

? anyone submit videos electronically to its Google Video site, so long as ? they own the rights to the work. The company said the videos will be made
? available on its video search site ~http://vidco.googLe&Qm? , but has not

? specified a date.

?

? Meanwhile, Microsoft's MSN, which launched its own video search site
? ~http://video,msn.c.Q.m/vid.eo/p.htm? last fall, has been steadily beefing up

? its film offerings. Earlier this month, the company announced an agreement ? to publish videos distributed by streaming provider Ifilm.

? ?

? Blair Hanison, 1film's CEO, says cunent offerings of online video

? represent a tiny fraction of what will be available in the next few years.

? "Everyone is adding video to their sites in much the way they added Flash or
? other technologies to their sites a few years ago," Hanison said. As

? digital rights management technologics evolve, Hanison also expects ? Hollywood producers will be more comfortable putting TV shows and movies on
? the web and letting fans search for them.

?
? Harrison expects the amount of homespun video footage available for online ? consumption will skyrocket next year, when handsets with built-in video ? cameras are nearly as widely available as still-picture camera phones are
? today.

?
? Already, HaiTison said, people arc adding videos to dating site profiles, ? uploading homemade movies, and putting fim snippets on social-networking ? sites like Myspace.com at an ever-accelerating pace. However, he believes ? that programs for editing video and publishing it online are not yet ? user-friendly enough to appeal to l1lOSt intemet users.

?
? Tiffiniy Cheng, co-director of the Paiiicipatory Culture Foundation, a group ? that is building a tool for independent video makers to put content online, ? hopes to make the publishing process easier in the near future.

?

? "Wc 'want to makc uploading a video as casy as blogging," Chcng said. ? Participatory Culture, she said, plans to make a publishing tool integrated ? with the file-sharing network BitTonent available in a few weeks.

? ?

? lfilm's 1-1anison also envisions strong demand shaping up for services that ? will help people navigate a seemingly bottomless supply of video content.

? "If I'm faced with a programming univcrsc of litcrallythousands of ? channels, it bceomes effectively useless to flick through a channel lineup.
? People will develop guides and bookmarks to navigate ÍÌom their own

? perspective," he said.

?
? Hanison says it remains unelcar who will providc the guides and bookmarks. ? The big portals, with their vast reach, are well-poised to help intemet
? users navigate the video universe. However, it's also quite possiblc that a ? "small, smart newcomer" could take established players by sUI1)lise.

? "Anyone that is 200 million members strong or more has the benefit of scale ? of audience," Hanison said. "But it doesn't take long to be successful if
? you truly have a superior offering."
