KickApps Integrates ClipBlast Video Search

ClipBlast, the premier Web-wide video navigation and distribution platform, has partnered with KickApps, the industryÂ’s leading on-demand social media, video publishing and widget platform, to integrate ClipBlast!Â’s video search into the KickApps Platform.

Using ClipBlast!, members of a KickApps powered website can easily search and embed online videos from premium video publishers, YouTube and other video sharing websites onto KickApps powered blogs, message board posts, member-to-member messages, comments on other member profiles, and the “About Me” section of their profile.

ClipBlast! has created an Intelligent Index of some 50 million videos, growing by up to one million videos daily. The ClipBlast! index identifies and sources video from more content providers than anyone on the web, and uses its intelligence or “knowledge” of each video to enable it to be discovered, experienced and shared. ClipBlast distribute and track its own video widgets with the help of Clearspring.

“Video sharing is an important contributor to the success of online communities and social media sites. With KickApps incorporating our video search capability, users can now preview video and embed it from thousands of content providers, accessed entirely from within the KickApps platform.” said Gary Baker, CEO, ClipBlast!.

To enable ClipBlast! search and embed, KickApps Affiliates must activate the 3rd Party Video Embeds option from the KickApps Affiliate Center. Their website members will then be able to perform searches using ClipBlast! through the KickApps rich-text editor, and can simply embed videos into blogs and posts with a single click.
