If you would like to learn about a video search engine that “looks” within the content of Internet video files, as opposed to relying upon metadata like conventional search engines, this Interview is for you.
Our guest today is Suranga Chandratillake, who is the CEO of Blinkx.com. Although the company is publicly traded on the London Stock Exchange, it is headquartered in San Francisco. Blinkx operates a search engine dedicated to Internet Video. Unlike conventional search engines that can only “look” at the metadata of such files (e.g. the tags and titles); Blinkx actually inspects the text and phonetics. The company also recently launched a website that functions as an aggregating directory for TV shows that are legitimately available on the Internet, typically for free viewing.
