blinkx Partners With Design2Share to Deliver Home Decorating Tips and Tricks



    blinkx, the world´s largest video search engine, today announced a
    partnership with Design2Share (www.design2share.com), providing users
    with insight into all the dos and don´ts of interior design. Now
    easily accessible through blinkx, Design2Share Q&A is a video podcast
    series hosted by design expert Irwin Weiner and senior designer Nicola
    Chernicoff that seeks to answer every home design question in the
    book. Under the terms of the agreement, blinkx will leverage its AdHoc
    platform to place contextually relevant advertising against the
    footage, and will share resulting advertising revenue with
    Design2Share.

    Bringing years of experience to the screen, Weiner and Chernicoff
    provide viewers with design tips, advice and personal pet peeves.
    Having just completed its first season, Design2Share Q&A not only
    clues viewers in on what works and how to create timeless interiors,
    but trains them to appreciate beautiful design with a discerning eye.

    "The enormous popularity of home improvement television has
    dramatically expanded the scope of related programming on both the TV
    and the Web," said Suranga Chandratillake, founder and CEO, blinkx.
    "Through our partnership with Design2Share, viewers will now be able
    to find the expertise they need at blinkx.com to complete their own
    decorating projects."

    "We really value the opportunity to share our passion for design
    with an even larger audience," said Jay Johnson, co-founder and CEO,
    Design2Share. "Partnering with blinkx enables us to expand our
    ever-growing audience, and brings us closer to achieving our goal of
    cultivating a community of design enthusiasts who are free to share
    and learn from each another."
