o America Online Acquires Video Search Firm Truveo

Dulles, Va. - In another step to beef up its video offerings, America Online said on Tuesday that it has acquired California-based Truveo, the developer of a video search engine, for an undisclosed sum. It marks AOL's fifth acquisition since the beginning of 2005. The company said that it plans to integrate the search engine into its free AOL.com portal. Truveo launched in early 2004 and last fall released its technology, which is designed to continuously scour video content sites and automatically seek out video files and related information. AOL first entered the video search engine arena with its acquisition of Seattle-based Singingfish in late 2003, and launched its own video search tool last June. The companies said that Truveo's corporate headquarters will remain in
California.

o CNET News.com: Verizon Ends MP3 Support on V Cast Music Service

San Francisco -
Verizon Wireless has eliminated the ability to transfer music files in MP3 format to cell phones through its new V Cast Music service, CNET News.com reported. Instead, Verizon now mandates that songs first be automatically transferred to Microsoft's Windows Media format before being loaded onto phones. The company said the change doesn't restrict functionality, and was meant to provide a consistent experience on the phone's media player. However, the change will likely impede Mac and Linux users from trying the service. A Microsoft spokesman told News.com that neither its software nor its deal with Verizon preclude the company from supporting other audio formats.
