Pluggd: Semantic audio search

Pluggd recently debuted their latest feature: HearHear technology, which allows you to search for content within podcasts. I know what you're thinking... don't PodZinger and Podscope do the same thing?

Well, sort of. Pluggd purports to offer the same features as those services - and more. HearHear will find instances of a search term, and related terms. The result of your search will be a "heat map" that is color-coded by relevance. Hovering over an area of the map will show which terms were found in that section.

Pluggd is still in beta, and HearHear is currently available for public consumption only as a demonstration. It remains to be seen whether Pluggd can deliver on all they're touting. But if they pull it off? They could be cashing in big time on the next big thing.
