Redlasso offering bloggers TV/radio searchable database

redlasso

Redlasso is a database stuffed with the latest TV and radio programming, allowing registered users to search for and "lasso" out clips in order to imbed them on other sites. Although the company is currently negotiating deals with several content partners, Redlasso says "virtually all media" (TV, Radio, streaming internet programming, podcasts) is indexed in almost real-time.
Much of TV and radio has so far been unsearchable in any truly convenient way. Until now, finding and embedding a TV clip often ends requires the use of less-than-legal services and practices. This is the hole Redlasso is trying to fill, though, it's hard to foresee the sight's success (or failure.
The accounts are monitored to make sure no one's watching extended amounts of programming. This makes it an inconvenient tool for media pirates, but it is intended solely for bloggers and other web publishers only. As a result, expect some type of application process when requesting an account. As for us, we're waiting on our acceptance emails.


Although the service is free, it is currently in closed beta, meaning its unavailable to the general public.
