Video Search Engine Blinkx Launches Web TV
By Daya Baran at April 02, 2008 1 Comments
Video search engine Blinkx is launching its own Internet TV service called BBTV. Viewers will be able to surf the web within full-screen video, as well as jump around using keyword search for specific dialog. This is was something Blinkx Founder & CTO, Suranga Chandratillake has hinted to me way back at one of the WebGuild events.
According to Blinkx the service harnesses their core speech recognition video transcription technology to offer searchability and clickable subtitles that point to web pages. This allows advertisements to be targeted to certain keywords in BBTV, similar to the text ad overlay used in video by their AdHoc ad network.
The service runs on a peer-to-peer network has signed up indie films from Dogwoof Pictures, Gateway Films and Playboy Networks.

Hi,
I have compiled a list of more than 500 of YouTube-like sites with their niches, and the list is still growing.
Now, I am doing the same with video search engines. The list counts only 30 of them up to now, but it will grow within the next weeks (and hopefully with the help of the visitors). You can check it at http://www.ilikesharingvideos.com/video-search-engines/en/
So if you are interested in video search engines, publishing your own videos, or even online video marketing, give an eye to this site, it worths it.
Cheers
