Google, Yahoo video search is the tip of the iceberg
Google and Yahoo's introduction of video search clips is only the beginning of a new age in search capabilities.
RocketMobile, a much smaller software developer based in Los Gatos, Calif., just launched a very cool music search program for cell phones called Song Identity.
Don't look on their Web site to learn more about it because it hasn't even been put up yet.
But if you have the application and use Verizon as your carrier, you can hold your cell phone up to a music source for ten seconds and it will identify the singer, the song and the album.
Almost all of the major database companies with a research arm, such as IBM, Oracle, Sybase, already have search engines for the broadcast industry that find video images as well as audio.
What Google and Yahoo are doing is making the mass consumer market aware of these kind of multimedia capabilities.
I'm sure there is more to come.
