Last year, media search platform Pixsy was in the news for forming a strategic partnership with Veoh, which would let the company play Pixsy videos directly in the page with the help of Pixsy’s new embed feature. Realizing the value of that, Pixsy will unveil a new service called Video Search Playback, that will open its embed feature to any company that asks for permission to use it.
By sending an email to Pixsy asking to use its embed feature, website publishers can embed Pixsy videos into their sites, opening them up to the millions of videos currently offered by the site. So far, Pixsy has approved a handful of publishers to participate in the service, but once it goes live on Thursday, anyone can email Pixsy for inclusion.
I will give it a try.
Very nice. I’ve been waiting for them to release this which is going to be very cool!
Pixsy has been trumping the syndicate market and now with playback, they will easily dominate. We’ve been using their service for over 6 months and am very impressed. A couple more automated features and they got a home run.
Nice job, Pixsy!
Am I the only one who initially read it as, “Pissy?”
Yes, EH, you’re the only one.

I thought that you can also use youtube videos embedded into your website. This is something new?
yes, you can grab videos from youtube api, but advantage with pixsy is having videos from every source on the web to add to your site thru one api.
Great feature
Hey y’all. I’m a former engineer of Pixsy. I just wanted to thank you all for the nice comments. It’s really a shame that no one understands the true power behind Pixsy. We developed one of the most sophisticated image and video search engines in existence. It’s really a shame that we weren’t able to convey the power of this technology to others. We chose to unleash it on images and videos, but the same technology could have been applied to create a service like Friend Feed overnight. Literally. Although on the surface, Pixsy appeared to be a search engine for images and videos, it was really much more–a state-of-the-art platform for aggregating and distributing data–anything we chose to aggregate–to the world. If you’ve got two cents, don’t look at Pixsy.com and think “Gee, that’s neat. So what?” Ask yourself what information you want, and overnight, Pixsy could turn its powerful spiders and supportive technology toward it.
