Online video network Boston.tv reports it has struck a partnership with local sports radio station WEEI to webcast coverage of the Red Sox Spring training in Fort Myers, Fla.
To provide content, the online television station has dispatched camera crews to the Sunshine State to cover practices and send back player interviews by WEEI hosts.
Financial details of the deal were not provided.
The offering adds to Boston.tv's existing sports coverage, which includes the Celtics and regional high school sports updates. The company is also offering clips of last year's Whiney Awards, an annual event honoring callers to WEEI's afternoon talk show, The Big Show.
Boston.tv was founded last year by Eran Lobel — no relation to WBZ-TV sportscaster Bob Lobel — founder of the Boston-based production company Element Productions Inc. The site also includes content from around the city, focused on arts and entertainment, food, lifestyle and business. American City Business Journals, the parent company of Mass High Tech, has a media partnership with Boston.tv.

EveryZing (formerly named Podzinger) is a Boston based company that has announced a suite of products for video search, EveryZing’s ezSearch product lets media companies offer their users a single integrated search box for audio, video, images, and text. Once ezSearch has blended results into a unified database, the company’s ezSEO service can then make all that content easier to find.
The promise that ezSEO could virtually automate video search optimization led me to interview EveryZing CEO Tom Wilde.
He told me that EveryZing uses voice recognition technology developed by BBN (the pioneering engineering company that was so involved with the birth of the Internet that they get credit for using the @ sign in email addresses) for the federal government to use in homeland security.
EveryZing already has clients using their hosted services, including Boston.com, Reuters, Dow Jones, and powerhouse Boston radio station WEEI. Since EveryZing can time stamp every word they extract from a video, a user who missed a WEEI interview with Patriot’s quarterback Tom Brady could skip directly to the parts of the interview they are most interested in.
Tom says “We make multimedia discoverable across the Web and them enhancing user engagement with the content with better search. If consumers can find what they want quickly they’ll consume more.”
EveryZing describes ezSEO as the first comprehensive SEO solution for connecting audio and video content to the major search engines. The solution is oriented towards sites with large amounts of archived or legacy content that is not currently indexed. ezSEO works behind the scenes of a website to unearth content in a way that search engines can find it. It automatically extracts keywords, topics, and other information and then uses BBN proprietary natural language processing to identify key terms, concepts, places, and people so as to create automatic tags for the content. The technology continuously “learns” what a site’s multimedia is about so when new content is added, the system automatically knows about it, analyzes it, and publishes new, highly “searchable” pages instantaneously.
