Founded in 2004, blinkx claims to be the largest and most advanced video search engine, including over 35 million hours of searchable video from more than 530 media partnerships, including national broadcasters, commercial media giants, and private video libraries. Its search technology was conceived at Cambridge University and the results include an active thumbnail showing the first few seconds of the video. Blinkx is useful for searching for artists’ film on the web.
