Blinkx.com - Video Search Engine

If you like to watch TV online, you’ll sure be interested in knowing about this site. Blinkx is a comprehensive video search engine. That means, people use blinkx to search through the entire Web for the videos they want. The advanced search helps users to better refine their searches, with different options to filter the results, i.e. you may want to look for only video clips that play from start to finish on the blinkx site, or for only video clips which play 10 second previews on the site. You will also find a safe search option that filters adult content. All of this media content is available to viewers around the world with an extraordinary degree of flexibility and personalization. Users can search for videos, create personal video playlists, or build a customized video wall for their blog or MySpace page. “My Playlist” lets users drag and drop favorite videos from many different searches into one big custom made playlist which can be watched in movie mode, emailed to friends and even made into a wall to insert into blogs. There’s also user generated content so anyone can submit their own videos.

“blinkx has built a reputation as the Remote Control for the Video Web. Now, with an index of over 12 million hours of searchable video and more than 130 media partnerships, including national broadcasters, commercial media giants, and private video libraries, it has cemented its position as the premier destination for online TV. blinkx pioneered video search on the Internet, developing an engine based on technology that was conceived at Cambridge University, enhanced by $150M in R&D over 12 years, and is now protected by 111 patents.”

Blinkx delivers more content from a broader range of sources than either Google or Yahoo. They have a huge revenue potential from its new developed advertising platform. Online video presents an extremely attractive opportunity for advertisers and media companies. In addition, blinkx powers the video search for many of the world's most frequented sites. Media partners include BBC News, Forbes, Business Week, Washington Post, YouTube, HBO, Rolling Stone, etc.

Blinkx will face a significant challenge as TV and user-generated content on the Web is exploding. Will Blinkx emerge as real authority in video searching?
