The big SEs have the critical mass that Blinkx does not have. I wonder if Microsoft would consider taking them over in a bid to get more of a search market share?</p> It seems that everything that Blinkx does is either in preparation by Google, Yahoo et al or is already being done by others.

It's the same thing as thinking search is all about looking for keywords in a page. Today, a google search for "I'll be back" already brings up The Terminator in the first result. I just can't download it yet- and that's not really a problem for too many people. Also, I haven't heard it covered anywhere that Blinkx, led by Autonomy's former CTO, is Autonomy's customer and is using their IDOL suite of software (which now includes Virage and Dremedia). Sounds like an Autonomy story unless I'm missing something.</p> I agree that search and video will come together, but buying movies on demand based on quotes and phrases sounds silly to me.
