The new search service goes live today and offers people a one-stop tool to locate over 33,000 music videos which are currently online.

Blinkx Music will also host approximately 25 per cent of all available music videos online through deals with Universal Music and Sony. However, users will be able to access the majority of the videos through links the tool serves once a search term has been entered...

Comment: I've now had time to examine the music site - and it's rubbish! It looks really boring, no graphic design applied to it whatsoever - and I searched for several large bands and it returned zero results.

Why no nice video wall of popular videos? Why so little content immediately visible in the browser window without scrolling?

If this is really the best Blinkx can do we might as well all kiss goodbye to our investments now.

...And judging by the share price today, most other people looking at it aren't too impressed either...

It's time for Chandratillake to put up or get out. And in my view this music site just doesn't cut the mustard...
