(InfoWorld) - AOL has created a program to let external developers build applications based on its video search engines, a step AOL has taken for other of its online services, like its AIM instant messaging platform. With the launch of the program on Monday, AOL will publish application programming interfaces (APIs) to let developers integrate AOL video search technology into their Web sites, said Tim Tuttle, AOL Video's vice president. Applications will be able to access AOL's video index, offer keyword searching, sort and filter results, support RSS (Really Simple Syndication) and provide browsing of clips by category, channel, tag or user. Internet companies like AOL have embraced open APIs to let external developers extend and advance their online services with add-ins, applications and devices. Another part of the program is a new system called AOL Director Account to let video owners and site publishers automatically feed their clips to AOL's video search engines. Access to the APIs and to the feed system is open to everyone and free of charge. More information can be obtainedÂ here. AOL has a variety of video sites and video search sites, includingÂ AOL Video,Â UnCut,Â Truveo, andÂ Singingfish. However, AOL is creating an integrated platform for all of them, and the first program to take advantage of it is this new developer initiative, Tuttle said. Also on Monday, AOL is announcing that its online videos will be available on PCs running Microsoft's Media Center operating system and Intel's Viiv technology. Intel announced in January the plan to have AOL videos optimized for Viiv and thus viewable from TV sets.

AOL&#160;plans to unveil a number of new mobile services Tuesday, including the customizable MyAOL for mobile phones as well as a redesigned AOL.com portal page for mobile phones.The beta version of the mobile portal has been available since September but is now being formally introduced, said Scott Falconer, executive vice president of AOL Mobile. The portal includes the type of news, entertainment, and sports content that is available on the desktop version of the portal.In addition, it features AOL&#39;s mobile search technology that returns tailored results for mobile users. For example, if a mobile user searches for a music artist, the first results may be ringtones. In addition, AOL&#39;s search crawls an index of sites designed for mobile use, so it will return those sites near the top of the list.The search results will now include paid listings. That addition started last week, said Falconer.AOL is also announcing that MyAOL, the customizable home page, will be available to mobile users. People will get access to the same MyAOL they build in their regular PC browsers.Other new mobile services from AOL will include a shopping service that lets users enter a barcode number or product name and receive comparative prices for the product at various retailers, as well as contact and location information for the retailer.AOL is also launching a downloadable client called MyMobile. Initially available only on Windows Mobile devices, MyMobile is designed to offer an easy way for users to download and use AOL services of their choice, such as mail, MapQuest, and CityGuide, within a single application on the phone.AOL isn&#39;t alone among Internet services and content companies pursuing mobile users. So far, none seems to have a clear advantage. &quot;I would say it&#39;s still an open market,&quot; said Falconer. &quot;Google of course is the leader in online search but mobile search is fundamentally different.&quot; In addition to the online giants, a number of startups are targeting the mobile search and content market.AOL has two reasons for offering mobile services, including as a way to maintain loyalty among its existing user base and as a way to grow its advertising business, Falconer said. Analysts are predicting large growth in mobile advertising and AOL hopes to establish a foothold in the market, he said.

Demian Turner has posted about the latest version of the Seagull framework (0.6.3) and an update to correct a remote file disclosure issue (up to version 0.6.4).   Well it took a bit of time but after quite a few months a new release of Seagull is finally out, 0.6.3 (0.6.4). Things have been keeping pretty busy with the startup I'm working on, but it's been a great opportunity to refine some features of the framework and optimize the performance.  The early indications are good, after less than 10 weeks of going live Kindo users are creating up to 20k profiles/day and the server load is staying comfortably below 0.5.   The update is a different download that helps correct an issue with the framework allowing user-inputted values from the GET string. Be sure and update your version to keep this security issue under wraps.
