David is an occasional blogger, software engineer, Nintendo fanboy, liberal, news magazine addict, voracious TiVo user, and bibliophile. He was born in St. Louis, grew up in southern Indiana, and returned to St. Louis to attend Washington University. He hasn't managed to escape yet. He's a fan of free wine tastings, too many tv shows to name, and eating out. David makes his living developing web applications used internally by his employer. He doesn't blog about work because he's heard too many stories about that causing workplace troubles. There's more on the about page. |

Google has a new service out that lets you search TV broadcasts for words spoken in the program. It uses the closed captioning information to do the search. The concept seems cool, but the results seem to lack relevancy. My cursory examination had them being much too dominated by local news results.
Also, what is the point of searching videos when you can't actually watch the videos. Someone needs to combine this service with a bittorrent rss scraper that would link you to the actual file when you do the video search. I wonder if the google APIs support the video searching?
