Video search engines
Due to the proliferation of new online video sharing sites modeling after the success of Youtube, like veoh, dailymotion, or metacafe, you find that there is a a lot of video clips being scattered across various video sites that contain the clips of your favorite artistes.
That is why there is now a place in the internet for video search engines, which focus only on getting the video files from these video sharing sites and display them in the search result pages so that you do not have to surf all over the places looking for these clips.
One of my favorite video search engines right now is Blinkx. What’s so cool about Blinkx is that the site can automatically play a preview of all the searched videos and you just need to click on the preview and you’ll be led to the actual url that stores the full length video. Also, the search results are displayed in an animated thumbnail at the right side of the screen and this is something other video search engines do not have, and which are static most of the time.
I’d expect Blinkx to grow further as there is a real demand for video online now.
