Pixsy today announced its strategic partnership with PureVideo Networks, publisher of popular video sites, StupidVideos.com (comedy) and GrindTV.com (action sports). Terms of the agreement specify that Pixsy will serve as a technology provider for PureVideo Networks’ third vertical, PureVideo Search (purevideo.com). Still in beta, PureVideo Search is the Web’s first meta search engine for video, aggregating multiple feeds from crawl-based and feed-based searches, to provide the best in both breadth and timeliness.

"Pixsy’s feed technology is an integral part to PureVideo Search delivering the most relevant video results to our users, as determined by public consumption.” said Greg Morrow, President and Co-founder of PureVideo Networks. “Their growing index and turnkey technology made them the right partner with whom to launch this product.”

Chase Norlin, the CEO of Pixsy, noted that “PureVideo Networks has leveraged our technology and built a very compelling consumer video search destination site that will resonate with users searching for video on the web. PureVideo Networks has a unique understanding of consumer behavior as it pertains to online video and we look forward to collaborating with them on future technology initiatives.”

Pixsy Corporation is a next-generation media search platform that powers private label photo and video search engines for online websites and applications. Pixsy has offices in San Francisco, CA and Seattle, WA and was founded by a team of engineers and business leaders hailing from Microsoft, Sony, and ValueClick.

Based in El Segundo, CA, PureVideo Networks is a leading publisher of user-generated and original content, dedicated to the promotion of compelling video and the people who produce it. Funded by Softbank Capital, the Company owns and operates video websites, StupidVideos.com (StupidVideos.com) and GrindTV.com (GrindTV.com), which stream a combined 60 million videos to six million unique visitors a month. Announced in October as part of a wider strategy to offer PureVideo Networks’ back-end technology to the public, the Company launched its first Web utility, PureVideo Search (purevideo.com), the Internet’s first meta search engine for video.
