New York - Viewdle, a provider of video search technology, has raised an undisclosed amount of capital from KIT Capital, a Dubai-based investment firm.
Launched last year, New York-based Viewdle is developing a facial-recognition technology-powered digital media platform for indexing, searching and "monetizing" video assets.
"The Viewdle engine fuses pioneering visual analysis technology along with other leading audio and text-based search techniques to go ‘inside the clip’ and identify contextually-relevant appearances based on true video assets," according to the company.

You failed to mention the tie in to Roo Group (RGRP.OB).
KIT, who owns a substantial portion of Roo will cross promote Roo/Viewdle.
Big news for both companies.
BTW, your comment captcha is too tight.
Best to you
