A social videos search engine, which is first in Indian internet space, SneakCast has been launched lately in September 2007 after testing it as private project. The site simply puts you to results of videos indexed/ aggregated from number of video sites such as myspace, metacafe and even Yahoo! videos.

By registering one can save videos, review it and get personal space for saved videos which is named as ‘Search Vault’ wherein one can invite friends only by email at this point of time.

The relevancy of results are just fine but video content quality in results are rather uninteresting or just relevant to few words if searched for phrases or more than one word (like I did for ‘web 2.0′, ‘India internet’, ‘web2.0 India‘). May be because the search engine is in its early stage and seems to be working on ranking algorithm and the aggregating system as apparent.

The looks are simpler as it could get, nicely formatted indeed but the choice of results that are being shown need to be work out. Although the site is well versed to be next ULinx ( titled - “video search & socialize”), IndianPad, TubeDesi, IndyaRocks.com or so if it allow users to upload/ share videos links of their own as well, which is more social.

Comparing it to Blinkx or dabble will be like kidding to users as the later ones are more versatile, far more enriched with quality video content, navigational structure formatted with categories to search within and more importantly the “Usability”.

What I am missing here is Company/ organization behind it, a startup should always do same if and only if they believe in online presence.
