blinkx, a video search engine on the web, announced that Quintura, a visual discovery engine dedicated to making web-based entertainment easier and more intuitive to find, will use blinkx to power video search.
Quintura employs a unique graphical user interface with an interactive tag cloud to visually navigate and easily refine searches. Quintura’s neural networking technology discovers related search terms to the initial query and presents those terms as the interactive tag cloud. Users can then refine or narrow down their searches by clicking on any word or phrase in the cloud.
“blinkx’s large video index is a perfect compliment to our graphical user interface,” said Yakov Sadchikov, CEO and Founder of Quintura. “As the Web becomes more visual and rich with content, people are looking for better ways to find video online. blinkx’s video search index combined with Quintura’s visual discovery engine provides users with a unique search experience. This new service has become possible due to technology innovations of our companies in visualizing search and indexing online video.”
Honestly, it’s just a tag cloud.
