Pixsy is a metasearch engine for both still images and video that searches a large
numbers of video content providers. "As a meta-aggregator of image and video
thumbnails images from RSS providers, Pixsy provides a visual search alternative
for consumers and a source of free, high quality traffic for RSS syndicating image &
video content providers. New RSS providers include YouTube, Revver, SmugMug,
RollingStone, StumbleUpon, Defamer, People Magazine, Pictopia, Metacafe,
TheOnion, Rotten Tomatoes, Buzznet, CNN, NPR, PBS , and many more." (Loren
Baker, "Pixsy Adds New Video Search Content from YouTube, CNN, Defamer &
Others," Searchenginejournal.com, http ://www.searchenginejournal.coml?p=3500)
The thumbnails are small enough to review quickly but still of good quality, and a
mouseover of each thumbnail image reveals the title of the video, a summary of its
contents, the date of the video, its source, and the date and location where it was
indexed. The only sort options at Pixsy are by category. The Pixsy homepage also
links to the latest and to featured videos.
