Movielink signs up with Blinkx

Video-on-demand service Movielink said Monday that it has struck a deal with Blinkx, a desktop video search engine. Through the deal, Movielink will allow Blinkx users to search for film titles, watch movie trailers and rent downloadable feature-length movies. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Movielink, based in Los Angeles, is a joint venture of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Universal Studios and Warner Bros. San Francisco-based Blinkx, which launched last year, offers a downloadable application that lets people search content on their desktop, the Web and thousands of hours of TV content.
