Blinx Offers Video Upload Services

Posted on October 4, 2005

SearchEngineJournal reports that Blinx.tv has joined the crowded video upload marketplace. Blinx.tv will now offer video uploading and storage.

At my blinkx.tv, users can upload and store their video blogs free of charge; they can also enter a search and save it as a "channel", which will be automatically and perpetually updated with relevant footage. This personal "channel" can then be viewed as a single, uninterrupted media stream, either online, or when downloaded to their desktops or portable video player. In this way, blinkx is empowering Internet users to customize not only what video content they receive, but also how and when they view it.

Search portals like Google (through Google Video) and Yahoo also allow video uploading as do many citizen journalism websites like Ourmedia, NowPublic, Open Media Network and Current.tv. Other services like YouTube, Vimeo and OnfuegO focus exclusively on video upload and video sharing. There are also video hosting services like Putfile. New services focusing on video publishing like VideoEgg are also on the way.
