By far the biggest shot in the arm for Blinkx comes with today's announcement that they've been selected by Microsoft to provide video search technology. It's an interesting deal for Blinkx which could result in "zero to millions of dollars," according to Suranga Chandratillake, Blinkx co-founder and chief technology officer.
