Web 2.0 & SEO Tools

Yahoo has Acquired Jumpcut, a San Francisco video-sharing start-up that offers consumers the ability to not only upload clips, but also to edit them online. Jumpcut is similar to Yahoo Video (and YouTube, Google Video, MetaCafe, Revver, etc…) in that it is a social video sharing site. The part that’s different than any other offer out there is the ability for users to edit their videos right on the web – or Remix others’. Yahoo’s plans likely involve integrating Jumpcut’s editing and Remix software with their own Yahoo Video. Yahoo said San Francisco-based Jumpcut, which will retain its brand name, will become “bunk-mates” with its other Web 2.0 services Flickr, del.icio.us, and Upcoming. Jumpcut also makes out well, gaining access to Yahoo’s 500 million monthly visitors. “As part of Yahoo, we’ll be working on bringing video editing and remixing to everyone with an Internet connection, ” Jumpcut said on its blog today.
