ClipBlast! to Index Video for Websites; Unveils Search Box for Site Owners, Powering Video Search for Site Visitors

Posted on: Tuesday, 3 October 2006, 09:00 CDT

ClipBlast! (www.clipblast.com), the pioneering video search engine, announced today that it will index video for websites, and introduced a free, downloadable search box, designed to enable website owners to quickly implement video site search and monetize video content.

Website owners can easily add ClipBlast!'s search box (http://www.clipblast.com/searchBoxSubmission.php ) to their sites, by simply copying and pasting HTML code.

ClipBlast's patent-pending technology gives users the ability to search for video clips from within a single site, video blog (vlog) or across the entire web -- a capability that even search-engine stalwarts like Google and MSN do not provide. For site owners, ClipBlast! offers back-end video search technology that organizes video libraries, which enables content to be monetized. Like Google and other traditional search engines, ClipBlast! helps provide content owners and advertisers with significant revenue opportunities by delivering active, targeted and video-viewing audiences.

"Video is the next killer app -- awareness is enormous and growing," said Gary Baker, ClipBlast! founder and CEO. "While ClipBlast! excels at indexing and searching video across the web, it's equally adept at indexing video within a specific site. Video is both different and more difficult than working with static text, but ultimately it's still about information, which people need to find rapidly and reliably. For ClipBlast!, video site search is part of our strategy of serving as an umbrella that covers video from across the Internet; which includes media companies, independent producers, vlogs, video podcasts and user-video sharing sites."

Now that 75 percent of U.S. households have broadband, video has emerged as the web's killer app. As the top media brands rapidly release content on their websites, user-video sites like YouTube -- now the 10th most trafficked site on the web -- and even once-static properties like blogs, newsletters and informational websites, are adding video at an ever-increasing rate. By contrast, video search is still at the starting gate, with no defined market leaders. Whether individuals use the web for entertainment, specific information, or both, ClipBlast video search delivers freedom to access the world of instant multimedia enjoyment.

ClipBlast! has spent the last two years quietly cementing its front-runner status in the emerging video search market by indexing millions of video clips from across the web. The company's patent-pending technology crawls the web in search of video, then categorizes video files, web pages and feeds so that the most relevant clips can be served up in real-time, on demand.
