If you are familiar with YouTube, an online video sharing and its recent bought over by Google for $1.65B in stock, then you may be interested to know that Lycos also offers video where you can watch and connect with friends. While choosing a movie, you can invite friends to watch and chat with them. There are a wide repertoire of genres such as genres such as action & adventure, comedy, documentary, drama, foreign, how to, kids & family to mystery, romance, sci-fi & fantasy and thriller. You can also browse the catalog and and create a new screening room.
Lycos, well known as another search engine, has followed Google to offer new video sharing features and hence attract massive traffic or organic traffic which means traffic from search engines. If you are a movie buff just like me, then there is no harm to check out this site for the online entertainment. By the way, I am waiting for the screening of Spiderman in the cinemas.
Still in its beta format, you may find Lycos Cinema relatively new with not many videos compare to its established counterpart, YouTube. But what is interesting is that Lycos Cinema has a function which displays the movies that are currently being played here while showing the progess time. To view the videos, first of all, you need to sign up for your login id, password and other details.
Basically, if you wish to keep up with what’s happening in your world, you may watch videos with friends online, launch a blog or two, build a website, showcase your photos, get free email, listen to music, play online games, read the latest headlines, meet with friends, create a Planet, share your ideas at Lycos…and it’s 100% free.

Hi there,
In addition to Lycos Cinema, Lycos also launched another video 2.0 platform in February called Lycos MIX. Like Lycos Cinema, Lycos MIX, located at http://mix.lycos.com, utilizes the watch & chat technology. But the twist is that users can find video clips from YouTube, Google Video and other video sites, and create playlists of montages of favorite video moments into one playlist. Others can add comments to the MIX, add videos to the MIX and chat while watching and recommend other videos in the MIX while watching. Hope you’ll check it out and start MIXing!
The other side of video 2.0 is video sharing, including at the other end of the spectrum sharing videos with friends but not with the rest of the world.
If you are interested in this subject matter, you may want to check Quickeo – http://www.quickeo.com – which focuses on just that, and trying to make it real simple for anybody to do so.
I am interested in your feedback if you give it a try…
Kathy: Thanks for the MIXING information.
Marc: Maybe I will write on Quickeo under Web 2.0 one of these days.
