Scoopvid.com, a website that enables you to search for hyperlinks to videos that is imported from YouTube, Grouper, MSN Video, AOL Games, OurMedia, ROOTV, BBC News, IFILM, Yahoo! Music, and several other video enabled websites is now in public Beta. ScoopVid was created by utilizing AOL’s Video Search API technology with a few modifications to it.

The sample of the features that are included with the AOL Video API is available at Searchvideo.com where you can sort videos by Most Recent, Relevant, Highest Rated, or the ability to select a Random Video. You can also sort by quality, video format, length, and cost of viewing the video. Users can enable and disable family filters so that obscene videos do not appear in the results.

You can also select how many links to videos that you would like to appear per page with the maximum number being 50. And looking at how many pages are available when viewing 50 video links at a time, this means that there are over 250 million archived hyperlinks to videos available on ScoopVid.

I could easily see the traffic rankings of ScoopVid and SearchVideo together growing rapidly at roughly the same pace as they run on the same technology. This could also be ScoopVid’s weak point since it is dependent on AOL technology and recreating a similar ScoopVid website using these APIs should not be difficult for most Developers.
