Keeping up in the heated race to build the best video search engine, America Online has signed 10 new content partners, including parent-company property CNN.

AOL's audio and video search engine Singingfish inked partnerships to include searchable video feeds from Atom-Films, CBSNews.com, Hollywood.com, Like Television, ManiaTV.com, MarketWatch and The One Network, among others.

Singingfish, which AOL acquired in late 2003, is one of the Web's oldest multimedia search engines. But in the last year, it's had to quickly build out its service in the face of mounting competition from Yahoo, Google, Blinkx and others.

    BLAH BLAH. been said, and im sure it will be said again. but until the company does not make money, just keep your mouth closed.

    besides... a lot of worse things could be said when it comes to some of the things MS does. aol is just trying to compete thats ALL... and YOU do NOT have to USE their products. simple as that.

    but this video search does own, maybe if you tried it some time you would understand.

    It's a good search engine, but it just has a bad brand name backing it up.
