This summer podcast search engine Podzinger changed its name to Everyzing. It is now a digital media search engine.

The Internet has much to answer for when it comes to annoying wayz of zpelling thingz and the stupid habit of WritingSeveralWords as one. We do see the humor in “Everyzing” though.

The podcast search engine Podzinger has changed its name to Everyzing, simply because it now does in some way index “everything” — or at least all types of multimedia, audio and video included.

The company says that “EveryZing creates a text index of the audio data from audio and video files, using the industry’s leading speech-to-text technology from BBN Technologies, to enable search within the spoken words of media, not just within the metadata.”

In this respect it is a bit similar to blinkx, as mentioned in our article on Sproose. Both blinkx and Everyzing analyze the content of the audio track of media files.

The company calls Everyzing a “digital media merchandising platform”. The “merchandising” part of that term refers to the fact that the company now goes beyond merely providing a public search engine. EveryZing will now use its speech-to-text technology to help publishers get their content into major search engines’ results and get related advertising.
