668 Called an "amazing widget for your Mac OS X Dashboard," Apple.com lists lists 50 favorite widgets to download, and ClipBlast! climbs into the top 15, after just a few days on the charts. The ClipBlast! widget allows users to browse, save, share, and customize video content all from the desktop. ClipBlast! is the leading web-wide video search engine and boasts the largest index of content providers and video clips in the world.

The ClipBlast! Video Widget is a Web-wide video search and navigation tool that resides on the desktop, enabling search, navigation, browsing and viewing of the Video Web without having to launch a browser or visit a specific website. ClipBlast! is working with video-content providers - including MySpace, Showtime, Fox, CBS and independent producers - to create customized, branded versions of the Video Widget for specific target audiences.

ClipBlast's Video Widget goes beyond pure video search, helping viewers personalize and discover videos, using streaming real-time indexing to alert them of the most recent and relevant videos as they come online. The Video Widget, like the ClipBlast! video search platform itself, was built from the ground up as a state-of-the-art Web 2.0 application, to ensure that viewers have seamless access to the entire Video Web.

"While widgets themselves are now gaining visibility, this is a widget of another magnitude entirely - perhaps the most robust ever created," Baker said. "The ability for a widget to do search across the web is unheard of. Add to that the ability to click and watch video in the widget... the ability to save that video to ClipBlast.com... the ability to specify library preferences and then view preferred video as it hits the Web... and to do all this from the computer's desktop. It's personalization that actually means something."

Other video-search providers treat video search the same way they treat traditional text search: they assume that viewers are after surgical search results that lead them to the "right" Web page. Multi-media search requires an intelligent, contextual search mechanism, which traditional text search does not support.

"Because the ClipBlast! Video Search Platform searches the entire Web for available content, we're continuously providing viewers with up-to-date, personalized video content, no matter what the source," said Baker. "We index more content providers than anyone on the Web, and our Video Widget now places that power directly on the desktop."
