I can see why, this is an innovative search tool, the first to lauch into Video and Audio search. I agree, if Murdoch wants to propell himself into the .com arena this will probably be a successful way to go. Judging from the papers, News Corp to buy Blinkx, looks more certain.

Murdoch should be aggressive about entering online media; buying blinkx is a step in the right direction...but i think he's surely on the lookout for proven, innovative technologies.

News Corp is a content provider and won't get involved in geeky, tweaky things. It sat out the dot-com bubble after all. Dave Sifry's uncharacteristic silence suggests BL Ochman's report has legs. My bet is still on Google, but I'm open to being surprised. We had the same with Murdoch and SKYPE a couple of weeks ago.
