Video 2.0 With Lycos

Posted by Diana Tan on November 16th, 2006

If you are familiar with YouTube, an online video sharing portal and its recent acquisition by Google for $1.65B in stock, then you may be interested to know that Lycos also offers video to watch and share it with friends. While choosing a movie, you can invite friends to watch and chat with them. There is a wide repertoire of genres, from action & adventure, comedy, documentary, drama, foreign, how to, kids & family to mystery, romance, sci-fi & fantasy and thriller. You can also browse the catalog and and create a new screening room.

Lycos, well known as another search engine, has followed Google to offer new video sharing features and hence attract massive traffic or organic traffic which means traffic from search engines. If you are a movie buff just like me, then there is no harm to check out this site for the online entertainment. By the way, I am waiting for the screening of Casino Royale, a Bond movie in the cinemas.

Still in its beta format, you may find Lycos Cinema relatively new with not so many videos compared to its established counterpart, YouTube. But it is that Lycos Cinema has a function which displays the movies that are currently being played while showing the progess time. To view the videos, first of all, you need to sign up for your login id, password and other details.

Basically, if you wish to keep up with what’s happening in your world, you may watch videos with friends online, launch a blog or two, build a website, showcase your photos, get free email, listen to music, play online games, read the latest headlines, meet with friends, create a Planet, share your ideas at Lycos… and it’s 100% free.
