SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. – April 16, 2008 – blinkx, the world’s largest video search engine, today announced a partnership with Revision3 (www.revision3.com), an online television network that creates and produces its own original, broadcast-quality shows. Revision3’s smart, on-demand programming can now be easily accessed at www.blinkx.com. Under the terms of the agreement, blinkx will leverage its unique AdHoc platform to place contextually relevant advertising against Revision3’s content and share resulting advertising revenue.
Revision3, the “TV network for the Internet generation,” was created in 2005 by tech gurus Kevin Rose, Jay Adelson and David Prager for those who take little interest in traditional television. Priding itself on providing viewers with content that entertains, educates and expands life experiences, Revision3 delivers professionally-produced, cutting-edge programs that span a number of genres, including tech tips and product reviews on “Tekzilla” and commentary on comic books and graphic novels on “iFanboy.”
“The Internet has emerged as a fantastic platform for alternative television programming in the recent years,” said Suranga Chandratillake, founder and CEO, blinkx. “Those unsatisfied with current mainstream offerings can now seek their niche online, something Revision3 understands perfectly and aims to satisfy. We’re thrilled to bring Revision3’s quality programming to blinkx.”
