Video Web Search Platform Recognized for 'Outstanding Achievement'
in Search Engine/Directory and Entertainment
LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--ClipBlast! (www.clipblast.com), the premier Web-wide video search
and navigation platform, today announced that the company has won two
Interactive Media Awards(TM), in the annual competition sponsored by
the Interactive Media Council, Inc. (IMC). ClipBlast! was honored in
the Search Engine/Directory and Entertainment categories,
respectively.
The Interactive Media Awards recognize the highest standards of
excellence in website design and development, and honor individuals
and organizations for their outstanding achievement.
ClipBlast! was chosen from among nearly 1,400 entries from
organizations in 42 countries. The judging panel drew representatives
from American Express, Microsoft, the New York Times, Time Warner,
Oglivy & Mather and Verizon, among others.
Created by the IMC, a nonprofit organization of leading web
designers, developers, programmers, advertisers and other web-related
professionals, the competition is designed to elevate the standards of
excellence on the Internet and offer winners a boost in marketing and
exposure. IMC serves as the primary sponsor and governing body of the
Interactive Media Awards, establishes the judging system and provides
the judges for the competition.
"The Interactive Media Awards competition is justifiably
prestigious," said Gary Baker, CEO of ClipBlast!. "The program
showcases the very best in interactive media, as determined by the
industry itself - a creative brain trust that continues to raise the
bar for the online experience. We're thrilled to be included among
those Web properties that the IMC deems as outstanding in concept and
execution."
ClipBlast! recently unveiled Version 3.0 of its video search
platform, which effectively serves as a "remote control for the Video
Web." The new release includes enhancements that promise a richer,
easier and more relevant experience for advertisers and content
providers.
At the heart of ClipBlast! 3.0 is the Intelligent Index(TM), which
matches the content of the ad with the content of the video. Rather
than relying exclusively on the content provider's description and
metadata -- which can be subjective or even nonexistent - ClipBlast!'s
Intelligent Index uses proprietary technology to categorize content in
real time more effectively, thereby delivering both more relevant
search results and highly targeted ads.
Launched at DEMOfall07, 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.
The ClipBlast! platform searches the entire Web for available
content, continuously providing video web viewers with up-to-date,
personalized video content, no matter what the source. ClipBlast!
indexes more content providers than anyone on the Video Web.
