Pixsy, the image and video search engine, will be indexing Photobucket photos on Pixsy.com, the company announced today. Pixsy’s proprietary media search platform will be used to index thumbnails of Photobucket’s large collection. With over 2 billion
Video und Photosuchmaschine. Indiziert werden Thumbnails mit Gesichtserkennung. Interessant ist die Annahme, dass Thumbnails fair-use sind. Indiziert sind mehr als 5 Mrd Thumbnails.
The real potential here could be in licensing thumbnails to enterprise customers. Anyone aggregating text content could well be very interested in combining that data with real time aggregated visual data.
