blinkx Partners with Dailymotion to Enhance Search Results
From breaking news to hit music videos, Dailymotion's wide array of videos are now available at www.blinkx.com
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF.- January 21, 2013-blinkx, the world's largest and most advanced video search engine, today announced a partnership with Dailymotion, the world's #2 website for discovering and sharing videos. Under the terms of the agreement, blinkx will embed Dailymotion's player alongside its own content to give users seamless access to Dailymotion's rich video library on blinkx. Dailymotion will place advertising against these videos and share resulting revenue with blinkx.
blinkx's audience will now have an even greater variety of videos to choose from, whether searching for the latest TV clips, browsing the hottest film trailers, or just clicking through comedy sketches for a quick laugh. blinkx will tap into Dailymotion's index of over 30 million videos, including premium fresh content from their Motionmaker Program and independent content creators, to make them simple to search for, discover and share.
"This agreement enhances our video index with a rich library of compelling and varied video content," said S. Brian Mukherjee, CEO of blinkx. "Adding Dailymotion to our strong roster of partners enables us to continue to grow our index of up-to-date videos and ensure we deliver our video-viewing audience the very best in entertainment content."
"blinkx's integration into the Dailymotion Publisher platform heralds a prominent validation of our network's growth, value and reach," said Luc Dumont, SVP International Development for Dailymotion. "Our Publisher Network offers a tangible incentive for publishers like blinkx to give incremental visibility to the Dailymotion player across their digital network: it means more content, more time spent and now more monetization."
As the pioneer in video search technology, blinkx has built a reputation as the smartest way to find rich media on the Web. The company has signed more than 800 partners and indexed over 35 million hours of video and audio content to date.
