Truveo is a search engine for Web video operated by Truveo, Inc., which
based in San Francisco, California. Truveo was founded in 2004 by Timothy Tuttle
and Adam Beguelin. Truveo launched its first commercial video search service in
September 2005. Truveo was acquired by AOL in January 2006. The name Truveo is a
combination of the modern French verb trouver (meaning "to find") and the latin
term video (meaning "I see").
In addition to operating its own search engine at truveo.com, Truveo powers
video search on hundreds of websites including AOL Video, AOL Search, Microsoft
websites, Sports Illustrated, Brightcove, CBS Radio websites, Qwest, CNET
Search.com, CSTV, Excite, Flock, Infospace, Kosmix, Netvibes, Pageflakes,
Widgetbox, and others.
Truveo claims to be one of the largest and most widely used video search
engines, indexing over 100 million videos and reaching 50 million unique
visitors every month across all websites it powers. As of March, 2008, the Alexa
traffic ranking for the truveo.com website alone was about 600.
As a Web-wide video search engine, Truveo competes with Google Video, Yahoo!
Video, CastTV, and Blinkx among others. Truveo's differentiation lies in its
advanced web crawling technology, which it claims can find more videos and
better metadata than conventional web crawlers for video.
