lycos has put in place an alliance with video search engine Blinkx.

Through the deal, blinkx will add its index of more than four million hours of searchable video content -- including clips of TV shows, music videos and video blogs -- to Lycos's video search capabilities. Blinkx says it is the "world's largest video search engine." The two companies will share in any revenue generated by the search results.

I looked at Lycos's video page and was overwhelmed by its blandness. So, for Blinkx, this deal must be a way to gain a few extra dollars without much work. For Lycos, this deal must be a way to actually put some video on its search pages. I recommend to you to remain at Blinkx site and rapidly forget this deal.
