Building on the success of its industry-leading video search engine,
Truveo has announced plans to expand its rapidly growing service into
several major markets for online video worldwide. As the first step of
this international expansion, Truveo is unveiling video search portals
for France, Germany, India, Japan, Korea, Spain, Taiwan, and the United
Kingdom. These new sites are available starting today at:
Over the next two months, Truveo™ will
continue to build on this expansion with the launch of video search
sites for additional countries including Australia, Brazil, Italy,
Mexico, The Netherlands, Russia and Turkey.
The Truveo video search engine lets users search and browse through tens
of millions of videos from thousands of sources across the Web. Over the
past year, Truveo’s service has experienced
widespread adoption, and it currently reaches over 40 million users a
month.* Truveo’s critically acclaimed
flagship destination, www.truveo.com,
has received widespread praise since its August launch, establishing
itself as the leader in the fast growing video search market.
“The recent explosion of online video is a
worldwide phenomenon. All over the world, individual users as well as
major media companies are making their video available on the Web,”
said Timothy Tuttle, CEO and Co-Founder of Truveo and Senior Vice
President of AOL Video. “Truveo’s
ongoing mission is to index and organize all of the video on the Web so
that users can easily find the video they want –
no matter where in the world they reside.”
With a large percentage of its traffic originating from outside of the
United States, Truveo currently serves a worldwide audience. To better
serve its users from around the world, each new Truveo international
destination will feature popular, high-quality video of regional
interest and allow users to search and discover videos in their native
language.
Truveo is a one-stop destination where consumers can search across a
wide range of content from major video websites around the world. In
addition to indexing user-generated video from popular video uploading
sites such as YouTube, Dailymotion, Kewego, MyVideo.de, Pandora.tv, and
Tudou, Truveo also features a wide selection of high-quality,
professionally produced video from many of the world’s
major media brands. For example, Truveo’s
video sources include: L’Equipe, Le Monde,
France 24 and TF1 from France; Berlin TV, Spiegel and ZDF from Germany;
NDTV, IBN Live and India Times from India; KBC from Korea; El Mundo,
Telecinco and Digital+ from Spain; Taiwan Television from Taiwan; BBC,
Daily Star, EuroNews, EuroSport, ITN, Skynews, The Sun, and UEFA in the
United Kingdom; and thousands more.
As part of its worldwide expansion, Truveo has been working closely with
major regional content providers to make their video searchable across
the hundreds of websites powered by the Truveo video search network. As
part of this effort, Truveo has enabled numerous content providers to
better serve their local user base as well as reach millions of new
users in countries around the world.
