blinkx Adds Video Bar of the Latest Music Clips Available on the Web to Bandwagon's Websites

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- blinkx, the world's largest video search engine, today announced a partnership with Bandwagon, a music community site for fans of independent music. Under the terms of the agreement, Bandwagon will embed a blinkx video bar featuring music-related content from blinkx's index, the largest index on the Web with over 7 million hours of content. Bandwagon users will now be able to find the latest music clips from hundreds of sites while they are on the Bandwagon Website for free.

The blinkx video bar, which is a smaller version of the blinkx video wall, will feature one row of clips and will allow users to scroll over multiple previews for a quick overview of several clips. This feature will enhance the content available on the Bandwagon sites, which includes video, music, ringtones, and a state-of-the-art online jukebox for music fans to enjoy on the internet and on the go. Bandwagon provides a social-networking and music community experience across all platforms, allowing users to discover new music, embed it, and share it with others.

"The blinkx video bar allows users to see results at a glance that are relevant to their musical interests."
