blinkx TV App Coming Soon to Your Living Room

SAN FRANCISCO, February 18, 2011 - blinkx, the world's largest and most advanced video search engine, today
announced that a blinkx app will soon be available on Boxee. The app will be
offered through Boxee's App Library and will allow audiences to seamlessly
search, discover and watch professionally produced Internet video from top
content partners across blinkx's index of 35 million hours of video content.

Boxee aggregates the best Internet content and locally stored media and
makes them available through an easy-to-use interface that's designed for a
TV and remote. Boxee is available as a free download for Mac and Windows
computers as well as via the Boxee Box by D-Link. The Boxee Box is a set-top
box powered by Boxee that brings everything you love to watch on the Web to
your TV without the need for a PC. Through the Boxee App Library and via
Boxee's unique QWERTY remote, users can find and download apps from the most
popular video, music, and photo services including Netflix, VUDU, NHL, MLB,
Pandora, Flickr and soon blinkx!

"Boxee's mission is to bring all the stuff people love watching on the
Web onto their TVs in a way that makes sense and we're thrilled to offer
blinkx on our platform," said Andrew Kippen, VP of Marketing for Boxee. "As
watching video from the Internet on your TV becomes mainstream, the blinkx
app will allow our users to easily discover and watch premium videos from the
comfort of their own living room."

The blinkx app for Boxee gives users the ability to search across
blinkx's index of more than 35 million hours of video on the Web and offers
three distinct entertainment channels:

    - Popular - an editorialized roundup of the most popular videos from
      across the Web, including the latest shocking news from Hollywood and
      jaw-dropping human feats
    - News - a breaking news channel featuring top news stories from around
      the world, culled from the "Inform Me" channel on blinkx.com
    - Fun! - a riveting playlist of hilarious bloopers, amazing stunts,
      ridiculous pranks and cute animals, drawn from blinkx Beat

"The proliferation of Internet-enabled TVs and intelligent set-top boxes
means viewers will soon be able to tap into the Web's vast domain of video
content directly from their televisions," said Suranga Chandratillake,
founder and CEO, blinkx. "The blinkx app, which combines our robust search
technology with our massive index of online video, perfectly complements
Boxee's existing entertainment options and will further allow Boxee users to
find, discover and enjoy the best that Internet video has to offer."

As the pioneer in video search technology, blinkx has built a reputation
as the smartest way to find rich media on the Web. The company has made more
than 720 partners and indexed over 35 million hours of video and audio
content to date. blinkx has also opened its TV API to provide partners in the
fast-growing Connected TV ecosystem-from box makers and TV manufacturers, to
app developers and game consoles-access to blinkx's video index.
