Today, Blinkx, a San Francisco-based video-search engine, announced a new search tool that it hopes will allow people to more easily find entire episodes of television shows such as Lost, 24, and Desperate Housewives. The tool, called Blinkx Remote, offers a quick, concise way to find TV shows--from content providers around the Web--and related information instead of having to wade through video-search results that include partial clips of shows, commentaries, and random collections of episodes in no particular order. Blinkx Remote appears at the top of Blinkx search results when a person searches for the title of a show, and it lets people pin down the exact season and episode that they want to find. In addition, the tool offers links to information about the shows from online sources such as Wikipedia and IMDB.com, as well as links to sites, including Amazon and iTunes, where users can purchase DVDs or high-quality downloads of the show. Essentially, Blinkx Remote is an attempt to create a one-stop shop for all online TV surfing.
