    Dominic Trigg, Vice President at InfoSpace Europe remarked, ''blinkx is a terrific addition to our search portfolio," explains "They offer a unique concept in video search technology which will help us to challenge the thinking of what constitutes a relevant video result on European sites. WebFetchPro aims to maximise the relevance and user experience of our meta-search engine with results provided by our unique relationships with each of the major search engines. The video search arena is a competitive 'hot potato' right now and I am pleased we have been able to take this pro-active step forward with blinkx.''
