"Pixsy, a visual search engine, will announce a partnership on Wednesday with PureVideo, a video search engine from the owners of StupidVideos.  According to Pixsy's CEO Chase Norlin (via Ministry of Tech), Pixsy is set to power the PureVideo search engine.  \nAs mentioned on Mashable last week, PureVideo searches the major video sites, including ESPN, CNN, MSN Video, Metacafe, YouTube, Google Video and MySpace Video.  They index billions of videos and also offer a lightweight video directory.  However, the search results leave something to be desired, and there's no way to limit your search to certain sites or filter by recency.  Hopefully Pixsy's technology will lead to an improvement, although we won't know the details until they're announced.\nIt's an understatement to say this is a busy day for online video: the Google-YouTube deal looks to be imminent, Blinkx and MSN have partnered, Google Video, Warner and Sony have stuck a deal to offer music videos and YouTube has announced a CBS channel (plus deals with Warner and Sony, too).  And if Google confirms its purchase of YouTube later today, the buzz could step up another notch.\n\nPureVideo"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
