SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF.-October 29, 2010-blinkx, the world's largest and most advanced video search engine, today announced the launch of blinkx Beat for Google TV. blinkx Beat, blinkx's popular Web channel of viral videos, has been polished and perfected for the big-screen, lean-back experience of television.

Comment: Excellent news! All we need now is Apple TV and to be officially confirmed for YouView to have all the (currently) important bases covered. The Blinkx plan for world domination is coming together nicely - which makes me wonder how long it will be until the takeover approaches start coming...
