Leading News and Information Network Visitors Now Have Immediate Access to a Wide Array of Downloadable Video and Audio Entertainment Related Content
GoFish Technologies, the leader in
multimedia search, today announced that Tribune Interactive, a division of
Tribune Company, has signed an agreement to license the GoFish Web Service
for use on its Metromix.com sites.
With more than 50 websites attracting more than 12 million unique visitors
per month, Tribune Interactive ranks among the nation's leading news and
information networks. Tribune Interactive's Metromix.com provides extensive
dining and nightlife coverage, as well as movies, music, museum, and
theater content. By utilizing the GoFish Web Service, Metromix will provide
its users with access to GoFish's continuously growing searchable index of
more than 100 million multimedia files, which includes downloadable music,
videos, ringtones, audiobooks, movies, and other multimedia content.
"Metromix.com is already a leading source of robust local information, to
which the integration of GoFish's Web Service adds a compelling new
component," said Brigid Kenney, Tribune Interactive senior vice
president/general manager. "In addition to reading about the latest local
entertainment news and events, Metromix visitors also can now view and
listen to relevant multimedia content."
"Tribune Interactive has a dynamic online presence both locally and
nationally, and we are thrilled to be working with the company to bring
multimedia content to its network through Metromix.com," said Michael
Downing, co-founder and CEO of GoFish Technologies. "Adding GoFish
multimedia content to Metromix will address the growing demand for online
multimedia, create new revenue opportunities, and deliver a new and
exciting consumer experience."
The GoFish multimedia search platform encompasses more than 100 million
available multimedia files across the online commercially available and
user-generated content landscape. By effectively assigning the same
sophisticated level of relevance and logical ranking to multimedia search
that has succeeded in the world of web search, GoFish serves targeted
search results that consistently represent the most relevant data. This
enables existing high-traffic search engines and consumer portals to
extract substantially more value from searches that are entertainment-media
oriented.
