"The dramatic growth of online video has been driven by a global audience - individuals who are creating and distributing user-generated content," said Suranga Chandratillake, founder and CEO, blinkx. "We wanted to reward people for the role they played in sharing and promoting video legally on the Web. blinkx's new AdHoc widget enables Internet users to monetize the video they choose to embed on their webpages and blogs quickly and easily."

Users have to click on the AdHoc tab on www.blinkx.com, create an account, enter their PayPal account information for payment. The they are required to copy the embed code of their video from Web sites such as YouTube, MySpace, or Google Video and drop it into the text box indicated.
