Google Moves Into Video 158
prostoalex writes "Google will start indexing previously aired content from ABC, PBS, Fox News and C-SPAN and offer it as part of its Web search. No fancy speech-to-text recognition, just the closed captioning provided by the television networks, and no direct links to videocontent either." Right now, most of the channels are SF Bay area stations, but obviously more will be coming along. I saw a demo of this about six months or so ago - it's pretty cool, and interesting to see how far it has come.

No, unfortunately you're wrong. Please allow me to explain.
From the article:
... previously aired content from ABC, PBS, Fox News and C-SPAN
As we all know, Miss Hilton's and Miss Simpson's ever-popular show, The Simple Life, is a FOX production, so it won't be included.
Pity.
P.S. You were talking about that show, right?

See here [yahoo.com] or here [yahoo.com]. Unlike Google, they provide a "Ply this video" link for each result.
