Visitor numbers to online video aggregator blinkx have risen recently, so much so that it has jumped into the online video top ten list according to a recent Nielsen report of video usage in the US Ranked by video streams watched during July 2009, also included are top sites such as YouTube, Yahoo!, MSN, MTV, and CNN.

We’re delighted to have achieved this kind of growth, and believe this is only the beginning.”

As the pioneer in video search technology, blinkx has built a reputation as the smartest way to find rich media on the Web. The company has made more than 530 partners and indexed over 35 million hours of video and audio content to date.

The Blinkx website works in a similar way to Joost. It stores no video content onsite but rather acts as a tv/video search engine. It scours the internet for video content from your search and provides a list of matching content for you to access.

Blinkx has signed more than 350 media partnerships, including deals with several national broadcasters, and the service offers more than 26 million hours of video.
