Leading Video Search Platform Adds ClipSyndicate's 200,000+ Clips, 80+ News Sources to its Intelligent Index[TM]

LOS ANGELES -- ClipBlast! (www.clipblast.com), the premier Web-wide video search and distribution platform, today announced that it has partnered with ClipSyndicate[TM] (www.clipsyndicate.com), a video syndication service of Critical Media's Media and Publishing Services Group, for professionally generated media.

Through its Intelligent Index[TM], ClipBlast! will index more than 80 news sources and 200,000 clips on ClipSyndicate. Currently, ClipSyndicate provides video clips to thousands of vertical web sites seeking specific content of interest for their viewers.

ClipBlast!'s Intelligent Index of some 50 million videos is growing by up to one million videos daily. The ClipBlast index identifies and sources video from more content providers than anyone on the Video Web, and uses its intelligence or "knowledge" of each video to enable it to be discovered, experienced and shared.

ClipSyndicate enables broadcasters and other video content producers to realize new revenue streams. Broadcasters can monetize their clips, web publishers have a new source for fresh, relevant content, and advertisers have access to a highly targeted audience.

"ClipSyndicate is becoming the definitive syndication network for video news assets," said Sean Morgan, founder and CEO of ClipSyndicate. "It's enormously important that this video content finds its audience - and the audience finds the video. We're elated to make the ClipSyndicate's quality, professionally produced content available on the ClipBlast! search and distribution platform."

"ClipSyndicate stands out among online syndication aggregators as an increasingly valuable network for broadcasters, publishers and advertisers," said Gary Baker, founder and CEO, ClipBlast! "Its ability to dynamically segment video content in more than 340 vertical categories and serve highly targeted advertising against these presents a unique offer to video advertisers. We're delighted to partner with ClipSyndicate and add its rich storehouse of news and professionally-produced video content to our index, taking its syndication even further."
