Media search platform provider Pixsy has signed a deal with bargain hotel and travel site lastminute.com that will see Pixsy operate a travel focused video and image search engine at lastminute.pixsy.com
The new service will allow users to search millions of travel photos and videos while simultaneously shopping for travel services.
Pixsy has been on a roll of late, signing deals to power search on sites including Veoh. Pixsy CEO Chase Norlin said that the partnership is a great example of Pixsy’s ability to provide vertical media search solutions to websites in various content categories.
Pixsy was named a Top 50 Coolest Website by Time Magazine and first reviewed by TechCrunch in August 2006.
Pixsy seems to be on a roll. I wonder if it has a integration api for third party sites.

Why dont these sites try for a googl custom search engine based solution?
FCuK you. OiNK is down. And what do you say.
PING pixsy.com (64.94.134.200) 56(84) bytes of data.
PING lastminute.pixsy.com (64.94.134.210) 56(84) bytes of data.
OK, so lastminute.pixsy.com is a named host, because if you reach the IP directly in a browser 64.94.134.210 the httpd default file is to some lasvegas search.
OK, so they have all the IP range between 64.94.134.200-64.94.134.210
Take a look at their other websites - paste the ip in your browser address bar
http - 64.94.134.204
An XML feed, seems innocent enough ?
http - 64.94.134.203
An HTTP Auth? This looks like a control panel or development server
http - 64.94.134.202
Wait this is the control panel
http - 64.94.134.209
A porno search ??? Smuttys? Was this the beta?
http - 64.94.134.209
The default host is reviewjournal.com but lastminute is a named host on this one.
At any rate I thought it was kind of funny. They clearly own the entire IP block. Smuttys was especially amusing.
These guys are on a roll. Cool. I’ve checked their site for an API, and found some good stuff, and widget stuff on pixsypower.com.
Btw- Chris - what’s your point?

My point is that it’s funny that the instant new tech comes out it’s instantly used for pornography, but that is some how never mentioned as part of the repertoire of implementations.
Chase Norlin also owns http://smuttys.com as per the whois records on the domain.
Not saying it’s a bad idea, just funny that’s all. It happens a lot.
if I was looking for a last minute trip, I don’t think I would be worried about looking at pictures of where I’m going … I should already know … if it Last Minute!

Nothing to say ….

Has anyone actually found this service useful? I sis a search for some locations and the results were crap and all the thumbnails just linked to other sites which had nothing worth seeing….
