Cool New Website - Blinkx.com
With over seven million hours of video on the Internet, it is a daunting task to search for something specific. The Blinkx.com website does a good job of helping with that. Blinkx allows you to search through videos on the web by utilizing a unique searching strategy that looks through the words spoke in the videos as well as subject matter and any titles assigned. In the future, maybe someone can figure out how to search through those videos that have no conversations or sound. For more information see their website at http://www.blinkx.com/
