Chinese Internet firm Sohu's (Nasdaq: SOHU) online video subsidiary, Sohu Video, today announced two new product strategies, "Cloud Tracking" and "Focus & Click," aimed at improving users viewing experience.

Cloud Tracking will enable users to watch favorited and previously-viewed videos across different platforms and in different regions, and will support various web and software clients, mobile operating systems, and tablet clients, and could add support for televisions in the future.
