Video On Demand Through NewsGator

One of the most exciting recent Internet innovations is the rapid rise of streaming video. I suppose it was only a matter of time before Net users would have the ability to find pretty much any kind of video content - from television programs and news segments to classic historic clips - simply by clicking a mouse.

A good example is the enormous popularity of The Daily Show With Jon Stewart.  Though a lot of people watch it on the Comedy Central channel, many more watch clips of the show on their computers and mobile devices. Disney just announced that soon you will be able to download television programs onto the video iPods. Missed the latest episode of Desperate Housewives? No problem.

One of the more interesting streaming video companies is blinkx.com. which allows users to search for video (and podcast) content and create their own unique RSS feeds that track new video content for that subject or keyword.

Newsgator has partnered with blinkx.com to provide our subscribers the ability to build their own personal video/audio feed in their Newsgator reader. It's simple - just go to the Find Feeds area, click on Streaming Video, click on the blinkx.com logo and follow the easy directions to build your own personal video feed on any subject or program you want.  It's just one more step toward our goal of providing our user-base the content they want, when and where they want it.

Searching for video

The blinkx initiative is great. Video on the internet innovates the general knowledge despite all languages.
Trends, news and global changes can be expressed and interpreted. The video's itself can expand the possibilities and vision of its makers and viewers. Though the size of video is huge compared to words, so is the impact that video can have on interested viewers and our future.
