blog: Mining For Video Gems

Every single minute, 20 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube. Add to that the hundreds of TV shows now available to watch on the Internet, and the sheer volume of video posted online quickly overwhelms. How do you find the good stuff?

Blinkx, a video search company, creates some stylish order around the vast video haul. Blinkx bills itself as the world’s largest video search engine, and says it has indexed more video, audio and TV shows on the Web than anyone else–35 million hours of it. Chief Executive Suranga Chandratillake figures that’s about two-thirds of the video content online, and the other one-third is mostly locked up, requiring payment or passwords to view it.

British-born Chandratillake, 31, founded Blinkx five years ago in San Francisco after serving as chief technology officer in the U.S. for U.K. Internet search firm Autonomy. He predicted then that people would be watching more video online and would need a better way to find it.
