ClipBlast! has been busy lately, so we paid a virtual visit to the Executive offices of ClipBlast!’s founder and CEO Gary Baker.

First, a little background about ClipBlast!

Founded in 2004, ClipBlast! provides Web-wide video search that uses patent-pending technology to continuously update video content across the Internet. ClipBlast!’s interface gives users instant access to millions of quality, highly relevant, targeted video clips from the world’s major media brands, independent producers and individuals – video that informs, enlightens, inspires and entertains. The company is based in Agoura Hills, Calif.

ClipBlast!, the premier Web-wide video search and navigation platform, recently announced that it is enhancing the breadth and depth of its index by automatically crawling platform providers, defined as those sites that host video content from multiple sources.  As a result, ClipBlast! now indexes more platform providers — and the video within these platforms — than any other video search engine.

ClipBlast! is indexing video content on such platform providers as YouTube, MetaCafe, Brightcove, Revver, Daily Motion, VideoDetective, SingingFool and more than 30 others.  All play an important role in the explosive growth of the Video Web.  Under these relationships, ClipBlast! continuously updates its index as these platform providers publish new video content.

In the expanding Video Web, platform providers become more important as they serve video content providers in hosting and distributing their video, brands like PBS, NBA, Forbes and BBC are not just being hosted on their websites, but at high-traffic platforms, like YouTube and MetaCafe.

These platform provider relationships exemplify one of our greatest strengths –driving traffic and video views to providers of professional, high-quality video content. 

ClipBlast! viewers can now find platform provider content in response to direct video search queries of each provider, as well as through the unique browsing capability of the ClipBlast! website.

ClipBlast!’s Video Navigator™ interface is the first Web video technology engineered according to how people actually interact with video online, helping viewers browse, search and personalize the video they want, when they want it.  ClipBlast!’s patent-pending processes and technology continuously crawl the Video Web. As a result, ClipBlast! indexes more content providers than any other video search engine.
