Anyone Know Where Pixsy Has Gone?

White label multimedia search provider Pixsy seems to have gone missing. Pixsy CEO Chase Norlin was one of the first interviews I conducted after launching CN. Chase noted that the goal of Pixsy was to, “build the largest photo and video thumbnail index on the web.”

We’ve written several times about Pixsy — they power the video and image search for a variety of large sites. One of the sites that Pixsy powers is National Lampoon. I’ve checked the video search and each time it breaks (see image below).

Very early this morning we received a report from a CN reader that the search hasn’t worked for over 24 hours. We’ve been unable to access the site all day today from multiple access points across the world. We’ve sent an email to Chase for details and will update this post when we hear back.

Update: We received the following comment from Steven W. in the comments below, “An e-mail has been sent to partners indicating that the “Pixsy API is down indefinitely” and apologizes “for the late notice”.”
