Just saw the new IGTV feature on Instagram, seems very focused on short video snippets. Pretty sure they could make great use of Linus' search tech and would make it standout compared to YouTube and the likes.

No one these days wants to sit there skipping through a video to find the info/scene they want.

Here's an interesting extract from an article I found on the subject:

“Search is probably the hardest thing to get right and one of the biggest advantages YouTube has,” he says. ”[IGTV] Discovery is fine and you have the For You section, which is not really as customizable, but if it’s good and you can trust it— I just think there’s a better way to find exactly what you want, other than just usernames.” For now, IGTV is also strictly mobile, meaning you can’t do anything with it on desktop.

Interesting times ahead IMO
