AOL is revamping its video site in an attempt to match popular do-it-yourself Web services like YouTube.com, while also improving its video-search tool and offering more programming as it tries to win loyal viewers.
The company, which is the Dulles-based Web division of Time Warner Inc., plans to announce today that the relaunched site will go live on Friday, giving customers the ability to upload videos from a camcorder, webcam, video-enabled cellphone or PC. The ability to search for user-generated content has been the major selling point for sites like YouTube and Google Video, which have help popularize homemade videos online.
