Fail? - no, just another way to pimp for marketeers

Ive read that YouTube is now spreading the auto-captioning tool across all YouTube videos.  So this adds captions (like you see on translated movies) to the video.

One interesting point is Google is using the assembled data and algo’s from its directory enquiries and mobile applications services to get the accuracy rate up.

Google are making a big thing of accessibility.  However the bit I find most interesting is how they now analyse a video, extract words have time stamps for those words and so can now use their word based algos to index the videos and include more relevant videos within their blended search results.

So now welcome to a whole new world of spam as marketeers  manipulate video to get into the hottest search results.
