Searchles(R) Launches Searchles TV - The First Video Player to Mashup Multiple Videos from Multiple Sources in One Player With Dynamic Syndication

    WASHINGTON, March 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Searchles(R)
 (http://www.searchles.com) -- the intelligent social search platform that
 gets smarter every time you use it -- today released Searchles TV.
 Searchles TV is the Internet's first video player that empowers users to
 stream videos back- to-back through one player and automatically syndicates
 updates wherever it's embedded across the web. Simple to use and easy to
 install, Searchles TV supports mashups with multiple videos in any order
 using multiple sources like MySpace, YouTube, Google Video, Blip.tv or
 Grouper -- all playable within one viewer without the hassle of using
 editing software.
     "Searchles TV further advances our business model to be the glue
 between people, the content they care about and their trusted peer networks
 across the Internet," said Elias Shams, CEO of Searchles. "It empowers
 users by breaking down barriers to multimedia presentation and delivery,
 while offering a more dynamic value proposition to content owners and
 advertisers seeking to better engage their target audiences."
     "With the proliferation of video content across the Internet, Searchles
 TV provides a creative, fun and intelligent way of viewing or presenting
 content on your own terms," said Chris Seline, founder and CTO of
 Searchles. "The ability to tap into multiple sources for mashups and
 automatically propagate updates to any channel across the web is disruptive
 because it's easy to do -- sort of like RSS for video."
     With Searchles TV, Internet users no longer have to jump between sites
 like YouTube or Grouper to view their favorite videos, or waste time
 clicking through to play multiple videos individually that are meant to be
 viewed sequentially. With Searchles TV, users can catalogue and mashup
 their favorite videos from multiple sources in one channel, play them
 sequentially through one viewer, add, remove or change the order at any
 time, and embed the player into any website including their MySpace page.
 By adding tags or assigning your channel to Searchles groups, your channel
 can be discovered through search by a wider audience at Searchles and
 across the web.
     Once a channel has been created, the owner populates it by using the
 Searchles bookmarklet while viewing videos at any of the supported sites,
 adding urls, or with videos already saved to Searchles. In addition, any
 updates made to the channel are automatically propagated across the web
 wherever the channel player has been installed, insuring that your audience
 always sees the latest updates.

         player into your site with one line of code. You'll never have to add
         new code to your site -- when you add, reorder or remove videos from
         your channel at Searchles, the video player on your site (and anywhere
         else it's installed) will automatically update as well.
     These are just a few of the possibilities. The only limit to how many
 channels you create at Searchles TV, or what you showcase and how, is your
 imagination! For more information on how to use Searchles TV, how to

     About Searchles
     Searchles is a highly scaleable "social search" platform that showcases
 expertise, enables collaboration with peers and instantly captures it in
 searchable knowledge indexes. The platform is a hybrid, combining aspects
 of "social bookmarking" and "social networking" technology with analytical
 "social search" capability to allow for network search.
     Network search enables users to discover content with personalized
 filtering features that include tags, keywords or a combination of both, as
 well as the ability to apply these same filters to search all postings,
 groups, friends, or friends' friends based on each user's personal
 criteria. By analyzing the associations and patterns between trusted
 people, sources, tags and content, Searchles is able to deliver more
 precise, relevant results while suggesting content and people related to
 each user's interests.
     The proprietary technology behind Searchles is an evolution of the
 search engine Dumbfind, developed by veteran search technologist and
 Searchles' founder and CTO Chris Seline. Both brands are wholly-owned by
 Searchles, Inc., a privately-held company based in Washington, D.C. backed
 by angel investors. http://www.searchles.com
