Lycos is planning to launch Lycos Planet, a technology for users to self-publish video content on its site.


The Washington Post has reported that “Lycos, an early Internet search engine, plans to launch a technology to allow its U.S. users to self-publish video content on its site”.

Lycos is launching a new new video, photo and blog service, called Lycos Planet.

Brian Kalinowski, chief operating officer of Waltham, said, “What we’re trying to do is allow content providers of all magnitudes to come and publish [on our site] while maintaining ownership of their content”.

According to the Washington Post, Lycos with its roots in the search business is relaunching itself as a media company. It is reaching out to self-publishing writers, artists and musicians, as well as major book publishers and entertainment studios. It is trying to become a kind of Web-based studio for its 22 million-strong audience.
