SeeqPod: Playable Search
Looking for music and video that is freely available online? Try seeqpod.com. SeeqPod boasts to be the, “first consumer site empowers users by allowing them to search and discover music and video all over the Web. Our intelligent software robots work with targeted crawling systems to auto-submit content to the site. This, combined with user submissions, results in a large and rich search and discovery index. This process can be viewed in real-time via the PodCrawler.” Read more about SeeqPod here.
So, how might this search tool be used to benefit your online course development efforts? Well…for one, it’s another place to search for resources and media. Second, if you have a podcast, you can submit the URL for your podcast feed so that as you release new episodes, they will be added to the searchable index of freely available media.
The technology that is powering SeeqPod is really powerful! My guess is….down the line, Google will end up purchasing this and incorporate media searching into it’s search suite, just like it has purchased other innovative startups like JotSpot, GrandCentral, & Jaiku. You may want to try searching SeeqPod to explore what other online media in your discipline is already available. Give SeeqPod a try!
