Two new products are tying in podcasts and video blog support: Blinkx.tv, a search engine optimized for audio and video content on the web, today expands its range with Podcast and video blog channels. Blinkx.tv doesn’t rely on transcripts supplied by content producers – instead, it indexes the actual content using voice recognition techniques. This makes the only engine that can locate content from sources that don’t provide a transcript, like small-scale grass-roots podcasts and video blogs. In addition to spidering the Internet and indexing the content it finds, Blinkx.tv will allow users to submit their content directly to the engine.
NewsGator has enhanced its FeedDemon product with a new module called FeedStation, which automatically downloads selected audio and video feeds to your media player. FeedStation can subsribe to Podcast and video blog content and receive updated content as available, saving it for playback with iTunes or Windows Media Player. It is presently available in NewsGator Online as well as in FeedDemon, and will soon be added to NewsGator Outlook Edition. Users can even select content on the web from any browser and have it automatically added to their playback device at home.
