Got absolutely no experience with using Blink, however have to agree that their approach to get their service adopted by as many users as possible is the most logical way to go about it. Let’s see where this goes, will go and try them out in any case. Thanks for the heads up.

Agree with Joe on the user experience issue but still, I believe Blinkx has a lot to offer if they polish up their services. They seem to be on the good way of understanding how to monetize video content - hope they won't overdo it and allienate the user base though. Does anybody know if and how exactly will they monetize their syndicated content, in terms of targeting? Otilia Otlacan's last blog post..New Artist-Oriented Video Platform MUZU.TV Launches Today

To be honest though, from my limited experience with Blinkx it really doesn't seem to be a good product. There is way to much activity on the screen at one time causing an almost nauseating sensation. And their search, seems limited. I think this is mostly true because they haven't mastered relevance algorythmns yet (google spoiled). But I think the biggest thing that Blinkx has to do to literally "sell" its self is to become more trendy. Integrating some social elements would help with that.
