Blinkx Launches Search Engine for Online TV, Radio Content

San Francisco -- A San Francisco-based start-up launched a service on Thursday that lets users search for audio and video from streams provided by radio and TV stations, and access clips over the Internet. The beta version of Blinkx TV culls multimedia content from sources including HBO, Bloomberg, Fox News, NPR and the BBC, and lets users create Video Smart Folders that will populate themselves with content based on parameters set by users. Instead of typical Boolean keyword search, the blinkx service features a patented "Context Clustering Technology," which utilizes automatic transcription technology and advanced phonetic matching speech recognition technology to index audio and video content. "Using smart, contextual search, blinkx links users to relevant clips anywhere in the video stream, delivering video content straight from the television to the consumer's PC," said blinkx CEO Mark Opzoomer.
