    hi guys, excuse me if i may have post this in the wrong section feel free to move.

    i am thinking for quit a while to start a soccer stream site, this idea is catching me more and more lately but i am a bit confused about the best way to offer the correct streams (embed) to viewers.

    i am talking about sites similar to

    http://iraqgoals.net/
    or
    http://www.atdhe.net/index.html

    they collect existing streams from certain matches and sort them on their site by time.

    my question is.. is this all done by hand or do they have some kind of tool which they can help them to filter out some streams ? i am talking about finding the matching streams to those games.

    would it be possible to create a tool for lets say sites like ustream and justin.tv etc which will do most of the searching by the keywords found in the title and those results can be used to manual filter out the correct streams or is this 100% manual hand work,
    what do you people think ?

    i am aware it will be an impossible task to create something which filter everything and only provide the right streams but maybe there is a way to "narrow" down the list ?

    probably done by hand, but you might be able to automate it :)

    thx. would you think it could be possible to automate a part of the stream-searching with a custom made search-script or a feed ? if so how ?

    You might need to write a bot which crawl a list of sites and index them on your database. Then you might be able to manually select which ones are the suitable, etc...
