Blinkx & Disney “Push” the envelope
Remember Blinkx? I told you to remember 
Anyway, I read they signed a deal with Disney to create something for The Hitchhiker’s Guide.
Basically, users can go to the hitchiker’s site and download a “smart folder” powered by Blinkx that will reside on the user’s desktop. Disney/Blinkx will then push (remember the push for push?) content (i.e. links, trailers, pictures, etc) into that folder. Pretty cool idea…but good luck finding the link.
After waiting for the flash to load (I had to first download flash for firefox on linux), I had to wait through intros, click on “download, ” then click on “more” to find a popup window that landed on this page. I’d try it but I’m currently not on my Mac and am using my Linux desktop (they have the application for windows & mac).
