(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 is now free to folks who arrive via speedy broadband connections. And as part of that free service, AOL this week launched downloadable software called OpenRide.  The latest software is built around a "quad-view interface" with four visible panes on a single screen. When you click on any of them, the pane in question automatically resizes, taking up most of the screen. You can manually resize the panes as well.

(InfoWorld) - AOL has developed a new version of its PC software designed to simplify and enhance how broadband users access online content and services. The product, called OpenRide, consolidates in a single screen with four panes access to a variety of AOL and non-AOL services, with a focus on e-mail, instant messaging, Web search, multimedia and browsing, AOL said Wednesday. OpenRide lets users access AOL and non-AOL e-mail accounts, links up with the company's AIM instant messaging service, and has an integrated Web browser and a media center for viewing videos, calling up photos and playing songs. Until now, AOL took a one-size-fits-all approach with its PC software, but OpenRide represents a departure from this model with a more modular, flexible architecture. Previously, applications design supported AOL's dial-up Internet access business, which AOL has decided to exit. With its focus on broadband users, OpenRide is in sync with AOL's strategy of attracting visitors to its free services andÂ selling online ads, AOL said. As such, OpenRide is the first AOL PC software that is freely available to anyone. Although AOL is to be commended for developing a more customizable version of its PC software, OpenRide still has an entry-level feel to it that will likely turn off sophisticated users, said Joe Laszlo, a Jupiter Research analyst. "OpenRide aims towards the mainstream, not very advanced end user, which is the classic, stereotypical AOL user," he said. Still, the potential exists for building features into OpenRide that will attract more advanced users, because AOL seems to have given the application an open, modular architecture, Laszlo said. Much is riding on OpenRide's adoption, as AOL battles for visitors and advertisers with mighty competitors like Yahoo, Google, Microsoft's MSN and many other players that make money from online ads. The PC software is a key weapon in AOL's arsenal. AOL members make up 36 percent of U.S. monthly unique visitors to the AOL network. But they generate a disproportionate 80 percent of the page views. Central to retaining these people's positive effect on the consumption of AOL online ads is their use of the AOL PC software, which subscribers used to lose access to when they canceled their dial-up accounts, although not anymore. About half the size of the previous, AOL 9.0 version, OpenRide can beÂ downloaded here. It doesn't require any log-in procedure except when users need to access password-protected services.
