Search engine start-up Pixsy is offering a way for Web sites and blogs to embed customized video and image search into their sites.
Under the Pixsy Power syndication service, a golf Web site could, for example, put a search engine on its site that grabs only video or images tagged with sports-related keywords such as "golf" or "Tiger Woods," said Chase Norlin, Pixsy co-founder and chief executive.
The site could then make additional revenue off ads related to the search, he said. The results page is hosted by Pixsy, which then shares a percentage of the ad revenue.
Pixsy avoids any copyright issues by displaying only thumbnails of the images and video images in the results and thumbnails have been ruled by a court as a "fair use" of copyright material, Norlin said.
Pixsy also distributes its search engine to publisher Web sites. For instance, on Tuesday, Pixsy announced a deal to power the video search on portal EVTV1.com.
www.searchucker.com offers users to post videos and images to the site by using a browser bookmarklet. after viewing a youtube video, users can click on the SearchSucker bookmarklet on their browser toolbar (firefox) or Links (ie) it will popup a form to save the link online. Users can then keep track of their favorite sick videos/images using a handle. The site does not require any registration.
The company didn't try hard enough to stop a 10-year incursion by hackers likely working from China, says a former Nortel exec cited by the Wall Street Journal.
