Wow Site! New Multimedia Database Allows You to Search and View Archived NCAA Basketball Tournament Games

Although It has been in beta for a while but today is the official launch of the NCAA Vault [College Basketball] and it's home to A LOT of content and already an essential site for college basketball fans. It's free.

A company named Thought Equity Motion has edited every play of tournament game (Sweet 16-Championship Game from 2000-2009) and placed all of the data and video into a searchable database.

Now, simply search by team or player, wait for your results, and start viewing the video (either game highlights and in many cases the complete game.

There Are Also Pre-Built Categories Including:

+ Dunks
+ Great Blocks
+ Great Shots
+ Great Finishes
+ Most Outstanding Players
+ Current Starts

At the bottom of the video box there are links to post a specific game moment to Facebook, Twitter, and/or get a URL for a web page or blog.

A Bit More from the NY Times:

“Fans want basketball content, and we wanted to find a way to get people to connect to it,” said Kevin Schaff, chief executive of Thought Equity Motion, which digitizes and stores video archives. Schaff’s company announced an exclusive deal last month to license footage from The New York Times’s video library.

Gregg Winik, the chief executive of CineSport, an online highlights provider for local media Web sites, and a former executive at NBA Entertainment, said that the mixture of video and social network had created a “big and bold step” in the evolution of sports video archives.

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content.
