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."
"Our mission has always been to provide audiences with the
programming they want to watch, whenever and wherever they want to
watch it," said Jim Louderback, CEO, Revision3. "Our partnership with
blinkx not only extends our reach, but their advanced search
technology furthers our commitment to making our content on-demand and
easily accessible."
