Blinkx Video Search Engine - Way Ahead of the Curve
You can think of Blinkx TV as the Google for multimedia content on the internet - this audio and video search tool is more powerful, feature-rich and relevant than any other player in the market.
Through Blinkx, one can search and watch the latest news videos, podcasts and TV content from most media companies including Forbes, Reuters, BBC, ABC News, CBS, MSNBC, USA Today and so on. You can even search user-generated content available on video sharing sites like Blip.TV, Metacafe, etc.
The most amazing feature of Blinkx TV is that it shows a short 3 second preview of each video clip in the search results. That makes it very easy to scan the search results because you get a fairly good idea about the target video without having to load it in your browser. You can also switch to movie mode and play the videos back to back.
Unlike other video search engines which simply index the associated meta information (like video title, description and tags), Blinkx also indexes the audio portion from the video using speech recognition - that makes their video search results more relevant to your search keywords.
And Blinkx also provides an RSS feed for each of the search results - that helps you track video stories on any topic directly in your newsreader. Definitely worth a place in your Bookmarks folder.

1. If this is your first time commenting using the email address you have given, your comment will be held in 'moderation' and won't appear until one of us here at BetterComms Towers approves it. This stops spammers from flooding our posts with garbage. It may take up to 48 hours for your comment to appear -- sorry!
2. This blog runs the WP-Cache plugin, which reduces the amount of processing our host's server has to perform on this blog. The result for you is that our site crashes less. The downside is that sometimes it might take a minute or two for your comment to appear. Please don't resubmit your comment if it doesn't appear straight away. Please be patient and try refreshing your browser after a minute or two... Thanks, Lee
