Pixsy to Offer PixsyPower: Video Search Monetization for Blogs and MySpace

I just spoke for two hours with Chase Norlin, CEO of video/image search site Pixsy. My longer post will come out some time next week, but I wanted to get a couple of scoopy things out there.

First, Pixsy's soon to launch PixsyPower, which enables bloggers, MySpace users and vertical sites to create their own video and image thumbnail indexes. And Pixsy pays out a portion of revenue.

Think of it as a Eurekster for video and images, only Pixsy owns their own index (does Eurekster have a Yahoo index?).

(oop - he mentioned PixsyPower last month... not a scoop, but still cool.)

Second, Pixsy launched StarHabit last week, a celebrity vertical. They have plans for 30 more verticals in the next 6 months. The next one is a news vertical. RSS fed video and image thumbnails means their site has video 15 minutes after it hits the web.

Cool stuff - look for a more in depth interview next week. Thanks Chase.
