Google and Yahoo Are Extending Search Ability to TV Programs

January 25, 2005

Google and Yahoo are introducing services that will let

users search through television programs based on words

programs, mainly as an aid to deaf viewers....

"The long-term business model is complicated and will

evolve over time," Mr. Rosenberg said. Eventually, Google

may offer video programming on its site or direct people to

video on other Web sites."

Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
