Watch The Vote: Truveo Adds Campaign Videos

Post to Twitter Post to Facebook

Video search site focuses on leaders

Video search site Truveo opened a new page, featuring Presidential candidate campaign videos from the official sites as well as unofficial ones created by supporters.

If there is one point of difference between Truveo and other video search sites, Truveo suggested in its election video announcement that it indexes what the competition doesn't.

"Truveo’s index includes videos from sites, including Politico, ClipSyndicate, Washington Post, Townhall.com and Barely Political, currently not found by other search engines," Truveo said of its selection.

In other words, where's almighty Google and everyone else who wants a piece of video search?

Truveo's latest project features election videos culled from a variety of sources, including those noted previously. The leading candidates for both parties have dedicated Truveo pages; no Fred Thompson or Ron Paul on the Republican side, even though both run close to Rudy Giuliani, who does have a page.

On the functional side, options to sort, share, rate, and embed videos allow people to do more with what they see than just watch. Those who want to spend some time delving into Truveo's features and APIs can build their own election pages.

Paul and Thompson supporters, there you go. Stand by your candidate and make him a video star.

Truveo said they draw on over 100 million videos from a variety of national and international sources, as well as those from talk shows and from user-submitted sites like YouTube and Dailymotion.
