blinkx Introduces Add-ons for Windows Internet Explorer 8, Enabling In-browser Access to the World's Largest Index of Online Video

Four New Tools Integrate Video into the Browsing Experience for Internet Explorer 8 Users

SAN FRANCISCO, June 9, 2010 - blinkx, the world's largest and most advanced video search engine, today
launched four custom browser "add-ons" that will turn everyday Internet
browsing into a true video experience for Windows Internet Explorer 8 users.

"Together or separately, these four add-ons will change the way users
interact with blinkx.com, their Internet Explorer 8 browser and video on the
Web," said Suranga Chandratillake, founder and CEO, blinkx. "As the Web moves
increasingly towards video, our goal is to make finding that video as simple,
seamless and integrated a process as possible."

"Microsoft is pleased blinkx was able to customize useful tools such as
Web Slices, Accelerators and Visual Search for its site visitors who are
using Internet Explorer 8," said Rob Pulciani, senior marketing manager in
the Microsoft U.S. Business and Marketing Organization. "These options allow
the blinkx community to enjoy the benefits of the content from blinkx.com
from anywhere on the Web."

Visual Search and the blinkx Accelerator offer users immediate,
integrated access to blinkx's massive library of over 35 million hours of
video, conveniently built into the browser, while two distinct blinkx Remote
Web Slices give entertainment lovers instant access to their top shows and
movies, right from their Internet Explorer 8 Favorites Bar.

    - blinkx Visual Search: an add-on that makes the Web's largest video
      index searchable from the Internet Explorer 8 search bar, without ever
      leaving the page you're on. Once added to Internet Explorer 8, blinkx
      instantly displays matching video previews in a drop-down menu as a
      term is typed into the browser search bar. If you want to see more
      video choices, one click loads the blinkx results page for a
      comprehensive list of videos matching your search. All the convenience
      of a browser search, but with results you can watch.

    - blinkx Accelerator: a unique new way of finding videos about anything
      that catches your eye on the Web, whether it's a politician who just
      made a terrible gaffe or a place you're dying to visit. After
      highlighting a piece of text on a Web page, you can simply click on the
      blue Accelerator icon that appears next to the text and the blinkx
      Accelerator will show you video results most closely related to the
      highlighted text. No need to enter a separate search, this new tool
      allows you to delve deeper into any subject and experience it in video
      with one click.

    - blinkx Remote TV Search Slice: a drop-down blinkx Remote that makes it
      easy to search for any TV show or movie, right from your Internet
      Explorer 8 Favorites Bar. The green Web Slice icon in the Command Bar
      lets a user subscribe to this feature and gain quick, instant access to
      a blinkx Remote mini-site, which displays every TV show available and
      the link to watch it in a new tab, turning your Favorites Bar into a
      virtual remote control that never gets lost in the couch cushions.

    - blinkx Remote TV Episode Slice: a convenient add-on to fit your
      personal TV obsession. Gaga for "Grey's Anatomy"? Hooked on "How I Met
      Your Mother"? Never miss an episode again with this specialized Web
      Slice for the Internet Explorer 8 Favorites Bar. Available for any show
      on blinkx Remote and updated in real-time, a drop-down mini-site
      displays every episode of the series available to watch and even
      indicates which ones are new. Waste less time scouring the Web for this
      week's new episodes and more time actually watching them.
