Suranga Chandratillake talks about how their website system is able to go out and search video on multiple websites. The power of Blinx is that it utilizes things like voice recognition and visual analysis for its search and discovery system. It also makes recommendations for you based on videos you have watched as well.
The key thing is that it learns about you to help discover relevant content that you will want to watch. In essence what it really boils down to is a customer orientation approach focusing on the niche needs of each individual customer. Suranga also discusses that he believes that in the near future a lot of content will be watched on television through an internet connection.
I believe this system will be relevant for businesses and consumers that are looking to solve problem or for just plain and simple entertainment. It will be very interesting to see the long-term effects of Blinx on the power of video search and discovery.
