Video search engine launched

A new search engine can help you find the video content you're after, no matter where it is on the web, its makers claim.

Vtap will let you search through some 150 million web videos. You can also create a personal profile where you can list your interests, so the service can alert you when new videos in those subject areas are posted.

It can also link with social networks such as MySpace and Facebook and can be accessed on a PC or an internet-enabled mobile device.

Murali Aravamudan, founder of Veveo, said: "Video is the future of the mobile internet – users will soon turn to video, not text, for the majority of their entertainment and information needs.

"Just as mobile email is now an everyday habit for many consumers, we believe that consumers all over the world we will soon develop a daily mobile video habit," he continued.
