Veoh Networks relaunched its video-sharing service Tuesday with a more polished look and a new set of features. Founded in 2004 by Dmitry Shapiro, Veoh's main selling point has been its ability to let users upload videos of any length through its peer-to-peer technology. Among key additions in the new version is the ability to download videos from virtually any Web site using the Veoh media player. The company is also expanding its recommendations widget to offer users video suggestions throughout the service based on their past viewing habits and preferences. Veoh also has created branded channels for media companies including Us Weekly, Paramount Pictures, TNT and New Line Cinema. The TV Guide channel is expected to be added to its lineup this week. -- Mark Walsh
