Every minute thousands of videos are uploaded on sites like YouTube, Hulu and
many others, much like millions of Web pages being added every day. So, how do
you find your information in all this heap ? www.blinkx.com has built a
reputation as the remote control for the video Web. With an index of over 35
million hours of searchable video and more than 530 media partnerships,
including national broadcasters, commercial media giants, and private video
libraries, it has cemented its position as the premier destination for online
TV. The site pioneered video search on the net that uses a unique combination
of patented conceptual search, speech recognition and video analysis software
to efficiently, automatically and accurately find and qualify online video.
The site, which earned much of its $ 14 million revenue from advertisements in
2008-09, is pushing ahead with its indexed video database to enlarge usage. No
wonder, in August 2009, the site broke into the top 10 most popular video
sites, listed by a recent Nielsen Video Census report of video usage in the
USA. Go for it.
