While the “Rambler” introduces the social aggregator, “Yandex”, the last of the “three buttons of the Runet”, has grown into a video service - video hosting and video search.
Primarily
, Yandex.Video is focused on video search — at the moment, two dozen video hosting sites are being indexed, including YouTube, RuTube, Video@Mail.Ru, etc. According to a press release, the search is based on the analysis of titles, tags, descriptions and other attributes of clips. For users of Ya.ru there is also the opportunity to upload their own videos - up to 750 MB.
The focus on the search was confirmed by the project manager Denis Tanayev: “First of all, the videos are looking and watching, and besides this they are loading, collecting and discussing. And all this can be done on Yandex. Video. ” Popular videos are shown on the Yandex.Video main page - statistics on posting and discussing video clips are collected through Yandex.Blogs.

Recall that last year Mail.ru launched a video search for Gogo.ru on a separate domain, the word beta still hangs on the main page of the resource. Interestingly, at the end of last year, AOL localized its Truveo video search engine for Runet, and Google Video is available to us only in the dot-Com version.
