Enhanced AOL Video Portal Goes Live

DULLES, July 3: AOL has launched a newly redesigned and
enhanced AOL Video portal that includes updated features to make it easier for
consumers to find, watch and share more than 20 million videos from across the
web.

The new features of the updated portal include a redesigned
main page; a redesigned video search experience that uses Truveo video search
technology and features better presentation of web search results to help users
find what they are looking for more easily; and a new embedded playback
experience where consumers can find and watch videos from other popular video
sites on the AOL Video site. The AOL Video portal is located at video.aol.com.

In addition, AOL also has also made available a new Windows
Vista-ready sidebar gadget that enables consumers to watch AOL Video content
while using other applications. The AOL Video Gadget features five
channels—News, Music, Movies, Comedy and Business—with each
showcasing 10 of the most recent or most popular videos in each channel.

“Online video consumption is likely the fastest growing
behavior in the history of the Internet and AOL was one of the first to bring
video content to the online masses,” said Fred McIntyre, the senior VP of AOL
Video. “Consumers want just one place where they can go to find and watch all
of the videos they’re looking for and our new AOL Video portal gives them just
that: a single website that brings together millions of videos from across the
web.”
