Unlike other multimedia search engines that attempt to re-purpose technology built for the Text Web, blinkx uses a unique combination of patented conceptual search, speech recognition and video analysis software to efficiently, automatically and accurately find and qualify online video. Today, blinkx is the world’s largest single index of rich media content on the Web, delivering more content from a broader range of sources than either Google or Yahoo!
History
blinkx.com is an Internet search engine for video and audio content, based in San Francisco, that allows searching and classification of audio files, video clips and streaming media. Blinkx’s video search engine differs by using speech recognition to listen to the audio component of the video content, and then uses both the phonetic and text transcripts to match content with search queries. blinkx also indexes and searches podcasts and video blogs. It claims to be the largest deep indexed Video search engine with 18 million hours indexed and agreements with over 242 content companies.

Money sharing program
Blinkx AdHoc rewards you for sharing videos. Next time you embed a video from a video-sharing site, simply run the embed code through Blinkx AdHoc first to start making money. When you add the embedded video, it will have contextually relevant ads placed near or on it. If your viewers click on these ads, the advertiser pays blinkx, and blinkx will share 50% of that revenue with you. You get a preview of your video displaying ads once you provide them with the embed tags for the video. When you get to that stage you can also choose if you want to have ads appear above the player, or floating over the video itself (in what’s known as an Overlay). Blinkx pays you via PayPal.
