blinkx Partners With Handmade TV to Bring You Video Recipes for Festive Fare From HolidayKitchen.tv



    blinkx, the world´s largest video search engine, today announced a
    partnership with Handmade TV, a leading-edge multi-platform media
    production and distribution company, to give viewers access to
    professionally produced video recipes from HolidayKitchen.tv. Through
    this partnership, The Holiday Kitchen´s online cookbook will be fully
    searchable and playable at www.blinkx.com. Leveraging its unique AdHoc
    platform, blinkx will also place contextually relevant advertising
    against the footage, and will share resulting advertising revenue with
    Handmade TV.

    From soups and sides to appetizers and desserts, the video recipes
    found in The Holiday Kitchen´s online cookbook are simple, quick and
    delicious. Each video takes the viewer through a step-by-step
    demonstration of how to prepare a large festive meal. Filmed in high
    definition, the clips reflect magazine-quality styling and range in
    length from one to five minutes each. All were produced with the
    everyday chef´s viewing experience in mind.

    "As evidenced by the enormous popularity of food-related
    programming over the past few years, high-quality video recipes are an
    innovative way to reach an even larger audience on the Internet," said
    Suranga Chandratillake, founder and CEO, blinkx. "We are thrilled to
    bring The Holiday Kitchen´s video recipes to our viewers -- and just
    in time for the holidays!"

    "We are committed to producing content that is well crafted,
    useful and fun," said Handmade TV´s president, Bob Altman, an
    Emmy-winning producer with credits such as PBS´s "Everyday Food,"
    "Martha Stewart Living," and Good Housekeeping.com. "blinkx´s unique
    technology and vast network means The Holiday Kitchen´s videos recipes
    are now easily accessible and available to a global audience."
