23 April 2007
SIVOO(TM) Holdings (OTC Pink Sheets: SIVO), the first Internet TV network of multicultural on- demand entertainment programming, has partnered with blinkx, the world's largest video search engine, to make SIVOO's video content fully indexed and searchable at http://www.blinkx.com.
SIVOO transmits thousands of full-length, foreign language feature videos over the Internet in Spanish, Chinese and Hindi, including award-winning movies, Bollywood films and telenovelas. By partnering with blinkx, SIVOO will make available its multicultural content to blinkx users at http://www.blinkx.com and blinkx's syndication network, both of which will increase the visibility of SIVOO's content on the Web.
"Partnering with blinkx extends our reach to new audiences, so they can easily uncover our popular multicultural niche content," said Burhan Fatah, Ph.D., SIVOO's founder, president and chief executive officer. "We see this as an opportunity to continue growing our on-demand video presence across the Web and introduce new individuals to our content."
"We are thrilled to be partnering with SIVOO as the demand for ethnic video content is steadily increasing," said Suranga Chandratillake, founder and CTO of blinkx. "This partnership furthers our commitment to offering users the most extensive collection of online content by giving them access to the highest quality and most diverse video content across the Web."
As the pioneer in video search technology, blinkx has built a reputation as the smartest way to search new forms of online content such as video. With more than 100 partners and seven million hours of indexed video and audio content, including favorite TV moments, news clips, short documentaries, music videos, video blogs and more, blinkx uses advanced speech recognition technology to deliver results that are more accurate and reliable than standard metadata-based keyword searches.
