Video searching catches up with tagging

Tagging is fast becoming a popular thing with video searching. For example, the Zidane mania. See what happens :)

You’ll see blogging/tagging content under the video, and if you mouse-over the video window, a timeline with multiple sources comes up. You can hover over any of the little squares to see the first few words from the associated tag, then click to immediately jump to that point in the video.

That’s just the beginning. To see how cool this can be, search for “Zidane” and watch what happens. It should add a playlist to the source listing and automatically start playing only the portions of the video that contain his name in the associated tag. You can e-mail that playlist to friends so that when they get your link, it’ll pop open the video and default to that playlist. This has effectively created an instant highlight reel based entirely on what’s relevant and interesting to a particular user or set of users.
