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.

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.
