Blinkx already claims to be the world’s largest video search engine, but yesterday it reached new heights – 14,000,000 hours of searchable video, audio, viral and TV content.
The company, which floated on the London Stock Exchange in May, also claims to have over 200 media partnerships. One of the newest is with RealNetworks, where Blinkx provides the video search feature in the new RealPlayer 11.
Blinkx’s success as a video search engine relies on its patented search technologies which see and hear the web. This allows for more powerful search results than what can be achieved by meta-data based keyword searches.
Considering Time Magazine included Blinkx in its 50 Best Websites for 2007, I don’t think there’s any chance the company will be gone in a blink. Blinkx (BLNX) shares closed yesterday at GBX42.00.
