AOL Launches Podcast Search Beta Powered by Podscope

We knew this one was coming. About 10 months after AOL signed a deal with Podscope (itself, an impressive podcast transcript engine), AOL launched a beta of their podcast engine (again, transcript search, in other word words each and every work spoken in a podcast) today at http://podcast.search.aol.com. You can also submit your podcast feed for indexing at this URL.

Quick Notes

  • Podscope offers video blog search. AOL doesn't at this point.
  • Podscope acually shows you when (time stamp) when search terms are spoken, AOL Podcast only points on a timeline
  • Both offer (when available) summaries or brief transcipts from/of content
  • Podcsope offers direct links to share with de.licio.us and digg.
  • Default sort on AOL Podcast is by relevance, Podscope offers date at default sort
  • Both offer direct links to source homepage, Podscope also offers direct link to XML feed.
  • At this point, it appears that Podscope offers more podcasts results (in most cases) vs. AOL Podcast Search.
  • AOL Podcasts results include paid listings, Podscope.com does not.

Podscope is powered with technology from the wonderful and amazingly useful TVEyes.com. This service offers both free and fee-based search tools. More about each of these services in this detailed SEW Blog post.
