SeeqPod Music – Playable Search, Find, Discover, Watch, Listen and Share
http://www.seeqpod.com/music/

Now, more than ever, it is important to be able to find, discover, and manage the wealth of information available on the Internet. SeeqPod is a totally different breed of search and discovery technology provider, because they believe that one day, everything will be ‘playable’. Hence they have embraced the term ‘Playable Search’. The team at SeeqPod is passionate about technology as well as music. So first they decided to apply some pretty sophisticated technology to music and video search so that anyone, anywhere can mine the deepest crevices and corners of the Web for media that is publicly available, yet not always easy to find. Currently in Beta, SeeqPod’s first consumer site empowers users by allowing them to search and discover music and video all over the Web. Their intelligent software robots work with targeted crawling systems to auto-submit content to the site. This, combined with user submissions, results in a large and rich search and discovery index. This process can be viewed in real-time via the PodCrawler. Born out of UC’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), ‘Playable Search’ is made possible through biomimetic search & discovery technology, a method that mimics the way the human mind might use context to make and recall associations, an approach which relies on context by finding the hidden relationships in digital content and data. SeeqPod has provided public access to its technologies through SeeqPod Media Search, Recommendation and Discovery Services (SMSRDS), a REST-based API. SMSRDS enables third-party developers to easily integrate SeeqPod technologies into social networks, ad networks, and other consumer applications, and improve their user’s experience in new and novel ways.
