iFilm, the treasure chest of viral videos, music videos, short films, and more has announced a content deal with Blinkx that will make its database accessible via the BlinkxTV video search engine.
At the moment, a BlinkTV search for fIlm content is searching only metadata. However, a Blinkx spokesperson told me that in the next month or so a transcription search of iFilm content will become available. In other words, every word spoken in a video clip will be searchable. BlinkxTV uses speech recognition technology to create a searchable transcript. More in the news release. Btw, iFilm also has content deals with AOL’s SingingFish multimedia engine and Yahoo Video.
According to comScore, 183.8 million Americans watched 48.7 billion online content videos in January 2014, while the number of video ad views totaled 26.9 billion. The number of video ad views is up 195.6 percent compared to January 2013.
NDN ranks ahead of Amazon, VEVO, Microsoft, Vimeo, and Turner Digital in the latest comScore video rankings. So, it's worth knowing more about an online video platform that says it "is disrupting the digital media industry in all the right ways."
Online content video views have exceeded 50 billion a month for the first time on record, as 188.2 million Americans watched 52.4 billion online content videos in December. Meanwhile, video ad views have tripled to 35.2 billion in the past year.
