SAN FRANCISCO, December 4 /PRNewswire/ --     blinkx, the world's largest video search engine, today announced a
partnership with Guinness World Records, the global leader in compiling and
authenticating world records. Under the terms of the agreement, video content
from Guinness World Records' Video Vault will be fully searchable and
playable at http://www.blinkx.com. Leveraging its unique AdHoc platform,
blinkx will also place contextually relevant advertising against the footage,
and will share resulting ad revenue with Guinness World Records.

Guinness World Records, a division of HIT Entertainment, has become a
household name in world records. It is the only enterprise that collects,
confirms, accredits and presents world record data with an authoritative
investment in comprehensiveness and authenticity. The Video Vault is a
catalog of online videos ranging from the fastest, strongest, longest and
even the weirdest achievements in the world, and users can submit footage of
their own attempts to break world records directly on the Web site.

"People have long been intrigued by record-breaking feats," said Suranga
Chandratillake, founder and CEO, blinkx. "Our partnership with Guinness World
Records gives viewers instant and easy access to videos of some of the modern
world's most interesting moments in time."

searchable, which is why we chose blinkx," said Ryan Tunstall, IT &
Operations Director, HIT Entertainment. "Global audiences can now watch video
footage of the biggest, fastest, tallest, most amazing and most skilled in
