As one more example of how mobile service providers are learning to go "over the top," Verizon Wireless is launching a new app called "Viewdini" for its mobile subscribers. The app allows users to search for a particular title, actor or keyword across a variety of video services, including Netflix, Hulu Plus, Comcast Xfinity and mSpot.
Verizon Wireless essentially is going to provide a search engine that aggregates video, rather than launching a branded video service, and is an example of content curation. The big problem with Internet video is finding something interesting to watch, and that is the problem Viewdini hopes to help solve.
