Innovative Personalization Tool Ideal as Distribution Vehicle for Content Providers, ClipBlast! Says
ClipBlast! (www.clipblast.com), the premier Web-wide video search and navigation platform, today announced that the ClipBlast! Video Widget – unveiled in late September at DEMOfall07, the premier launch venue for new products – has been delivered to the market.
With the Video Widget serving as an effective distribution tool for content providers, ClipBlast! is forging partnerships with major media companies, which will be deploying customized, branded versions for specific target audiences. The ClipBlast! Video Widget is available now on the Mac platform and on the PC later this month. A mobile version, compatible with the iPhone and various other handheld devices, will also be available this quarter.
“At DEMO, we pledged that the ClipBlast! Video Widget would be available during Q4,” said Gary Baker, ClipBlast! founder and CEO. “We’re delighted to report that we made good on that promise during the first week of the quarter. Early interest in Widget customization and deployment is exceeding our expectations, which we attribute to both the Video Widget’s ability to augment virtually any content provider’s distribution strategy and DEMO’s power as a launch platform.”
The ClipBlast! Video Widget is a Web-wide video search and navigation tool that resides on the desktop, enabling search, navigation, browsing and viewing of the Video Web without having to launch a browser or visit a specific website.
ClipBlast's Video Widget goes beyond pure video search, helping viewers personalize and discover videos, using streaming real-time indexing to alert them of the most recent and relevant videos as they come online. The Video Widget, like the ClipBlast! video search platform itself, was built from the ground up as a state-of-the-art Web 2.0 application, to ensure that viewers have seamless access to the entire Video Web.
“With the ClipBlast! Video Widget, Video Web viewers have an easy way to find, watch and personalize the kinds of video content they're really looking for, and web content providers can enrich their current offerings with a lightweight, incredibly powerful application that they can brand and customize," Baker said.
The ClipBlast! Video Search Platform searches the entire Web for available content, continuously providing viewers with up-to-date, personalized video content, no matter what the source. ClipBlast! indexes more content providers than anyone on the Web, which enables the new Video Widget to place that power directly on the desktop.
