Finally, an answer to the prayer's of movie lovers everywhere: AnyClip, a searchable databae of movie scenes is launching September 15th. This is a brilliant idea; quite frankly, after pondering and much contemplation, I was shocked that a site such as this didn't exist already. Now, one can share his or her favorite movie scenes with friends minus the struggle of searching all over the web. "To help make the search engine as accurate and thorough as possible, AnyClip draws its data from a number of sources: first, it has compiled publically available data on the web and associated it with each film. The site has also created a Mechanical Turk-style operation, with a team of humans inputting meta data for each film (workers are contributing from all over the world, with most of them coming from the US and Israel). On average, each film in the database has 500 tags.
The site is also launching a public API, which will allow developers to query its database of movie clips from their applications."
This is a genius proposition, and I look forward to searching the site and utilizing the content.
