ClipBlast! Forms Alliance With MSN Video, Automatically Indexing Content From One of the Leading Free Video Sites

Posted on: Tuesday, 28 August 2007, 09:22 CDT

ClipBlast! (www.clipblast.com), the Web's premier video search platform, today announced an alliance with MSN Video (http://video.msn.com), one of the world's leading free programmed online video services. Under the agreement, ClipBlast! will automatically index MSN Video content as it becomes available.

By indexing new clips from MSN Video on www.clipblast.com, ClipBlast! will enable viewers to browse news, sports, lifestyle and entertainment content streamed from more than 50 sources, including NBC and MSNBC, Food Network, HGTV, National Geographic, MTV Networks and Conde Nast publications such as Vanity Fair.

MSN Video features exclusive online entertainment events, including coverage of the Golden Globe awards and the Live Earth concerts. Other offerings include everything from user-generated video to content produced especially for MSN Originals. MSN Video welcomed more than 10.3 million unique visitors in July 2007, according to Nielsen/NetRatings.

"ClipBlast! gives people a new way to find exactly what they want from MSN Video," said Karin Muskopf, product manager MSN. "This powerful search platform brings the entire Web under its roof, and we're delighted to be recognized by ClipBlast! as an important platform provider."

"With extensive content relationships of its own, MSN Video delivers a wide variety of content from its network to ClipBlast!," said Gary Baker, founder and CEO of ClipBlast! "We're bringing people the entire Video Web, and letting people find the latest content on MSN Video is a key part of that process. Forging relationships with top-notch platform partners like MSN Video makes our search/browse/watch capabilities that much more compelling."

ClipBlast!'s Video Navigator™ interface is the first Web video technology engineered according to how people actually interact with video online, helping viewers search, browse, and personalize the video they want, when they want it. ClipBlast! gives users the ability to search for video clips from within a single site or across the entire Web. ClipBlast! indexes more content providers than any other video search engine. In September, ClipBlast! will be appearing at DEMOfall '07, the premier launch venue for new products, technologies and companies.
