blinkx, the world´s largest video search engine, today announced
new partnerships with some of the world´s leading how-to video sites,
including ExpertVillage.com, Growing Wisdom and HowTo.tv, to offer
users thousands of self-improvement videos. Through these
partnerships, viewers now have an extensive library of visual aides to
help them master a wide range of skills, from the basic (e.g. brewing

Leveraging its unique AdHoc platform, blinkx will also place
contextually relevant advertising against these videos, and share
resulting advertising revenue with the partners.

strong visual learners, making this type of programming extremely
useful when tackling something new," said Suranga Chandratillake,
founder and CEO, blinkx. "We are thrilled to offer these instructional
videos to users via blinkx´s easy-to-search and share platform."
