Flurl and My Space

When I read yesterday that a MySpace founder, Brad Greenspan, had bought into Flurl, the video search engine, I thought I’d, you know…. check it out.
Flurl is actually quite depressing, a mon avis, and steeped in Internet savvy. Based in Liege in Belgium the lads have devised a way to piggyback video uploading sites. It looks like a YouTube without the effort. I know it must be delighting a lot of people.
With the acquisition, Greenspan’s company LiveUniverse “intends to begin discussions with potential strategic, financial, and content partners focused in the online video space.”
Big move. Flurl aggregates snappy videos from other sites and plays them out. Top clip today is My Boobs are Nicer. There’s a few good strippers on there and you know.
Viewers can vote their favourites. So number 4 is mom spanked the gay out of me and six is fart catches fire.
I don’t know can it be called a search engine. I put in the title of a well known and superbly made short and it didn’t come up. But I suppose you have to cal lit a search engine because retrieval is its value added. Greenspan’s purchase is bound to draw it into the pubic eye and up the visitor count and you know there’s nothing stopping it becoming a rival to YouTube.
