Deep Tagging Video - A Very Cool Future is Already Here

Filed Under Tools for Vloggers, Video Sharing Sites

No doubt that tags help to create a little bit of order out of this mess we call the web. But as messy as the web is, what’s worse is having nothing at all. With video, to a large degree, that’s what we’ve had. Sure, we’ve had the ability to tag in a general way, and we’ve always had the text around the video (headlines, captions, etc.) to provide some context, but now it looks like tagging inside the video itself is gaining momentum.


Although there are a number of companies engaged in deep tagging videos, Viddler seems to be one that’s getting it done nicely. There are a lot of cool things that can be done with deep tagging, including allowing others to put comments inside the clip, both text and video comments. Very cool.

To see how deep tagging works, watch the Viddler promotional clip above.

And the next step? Who knows? Maybe automatic transcription that gets stored as text in the video file as well.
