Leading News Organization ITN Extends Advertising Deal with blinkx Based on Proven Campaign Success




blinkx Selected to Power Advertising across ITN Website and Syndication Partner Sites




SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. - July 2, 2008 - blinkx, the world's largest and most advanced video search engine, today announced that it has won an extension contract that will augment the scope of its advertising partnership with ITN, one of the world's leading news and multimedia content companies. Under the terms of the new agreement, ITN will use AdHoc, blinkx's patented contextual advertising platform for online TV and video, to serve advertisements on the ITN website and its syndication partner sites, including Bebo.




Through AdHoc, ITN has already been effectively monetizing its premium news content on the blinkx.com network for over six months. During this time, ITN achieved a significantly better return, greater search volume, and higher monetization through blinkx than through other syndication partners.




AdHoc uses blinkx's patented speech-to-text transcription and visual analysis technology to understand video content more thoroughly and effectively than any other service today, and can therefore dynamically place the most pertinent advertising against it. The AdHoc platform offers media companies and advertisers a unique value proposition -- video advertising which combines the emotive power of TV promotion, with the relevance and utility of contextual search advertising.




The confluence of ITN's premium TV content, blinkx's extensive syndication network, and AdHoc's uniquely powerful targeting capabilities was a formula for success. By extending its partnership with blinkx, ITN aims to achieve similar returns by leveraging the AdHoc platform to deliver contextually relevant video advertising on its own website and across its distribution partner sites.




'We're thrilled to be broadening our relationship with ITN,' said Suranga Chandratillake, founder and CEO of blinkx. 'News content is one of the most popular categories of online video and there's clearly a tremendous opportunity for monetization. The success of our partnership with ITN is evidence that the blinkx AdHoc platform is a uniquely powerful solution for online video advertising today.'




'We've been delighted with the results of our partnership with blinkx and are looking forward to implementing the AdHoc technology on our site,' said Nicholas Wheeler, managing director, ITN On. 'blinkx AdHoc has proven that it can achieve significant monetization of our content, effective marketing for advertisers and, most importantly, a useful, non-disruptive experience for our audience.'




As a pioneer in video search technology, blinkx has built a reputation as the most effective way to search new forms of online content such as video. With more than 350 partners and 26 million hours of indexed video and audio content, including favorite TV moments, news clips, short documentaries, music videos, video blogs and more, blinkx uses advanced speech recognition technology to deliver results that are more accurate and reliable than standard metadata-based keyword searches.

cheeky boy! ..... so far not

a rather larger scale chart below, though i have my doubts as to the value of such a thing with a pretty new company which isa also a minnow.

anyway, as far as i can see, there may well be resistance at both 32 and 36

can only see an error report cynic, but there was strength in blnx today, the mm's shook hard trying to trigger stop losses.

A post on iii mentions the utargetfox deal brings in another 650 partners to blinkx fold, now making over 1000 to date.

It's a massive co. being built here, the russian deal also brings in a mass of new partners!!!

BIG RNS out this morning, expect more with a US launch to come as well.

Hunting for Hollyoaks? Trawling for Top Gear? Want to Catch Corrie? blinkx Offers a
Universal Remote for TV Shows Online

For all your favorites, fast, free, full-length and from any station, blinkx Remote
delivers a single gateway for online television in
the U.K.

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. - July 30, 2008 - blinkx, the world's largest and most advanced
video search engine, today announced the launch of
its latest blinkx Remote service, the ultimate tool for finding and watching TV episodes on
the Web. blinkx Remote provides users with a
way to find their favourite TV shows from any channel with online content, including the BBC,
ITV, Channel 4, Five and more.

Online video is no longer solely the domain of skateboarding kittens and the odd clip of
David Brent dancing. Viewers can now watch
full episodes of their favorite television shows when it suits them, without worrying about
the link cutting out halfway through. All this
choice does, however, present the problem of how to find what you want to watch, blinkx Remote
is designed to help you do just that.

"The online video landscape has changed dramatically over the past year - what was once
the domain of short-form, user-generated
material, has become the realm of premium television," said Suranga Chandratillake, founder
and CEO of blinkx. "It's a tremendous source of
news and entertainment for consumers, but the content is spread across myriad sites belonging
to national broadcasters and media giants.
blinkx Remote uses our award-winning video search technology to help consumers find their favorite TV shows quickly, easily and in one place."

Leveraging blinkx's patented video search technology, blinkx Remote filters out video
spam, illegal clips, and inappropriate material
that has been falsely tagged, to deliver the highest quality user experience. Audiences will
find only full length, legally available,
episodes of their favourite TV programmes through blinkx Remote, and will be able to sign up
to receive alerts when a new show is posted
through RSS or email.

blinkx Remote will be available for U.K. audiences at http://tv.blinkx.com/ commencing
July 30th, 2008. A version of the product for the
U.S. market is upcoming.

I think that this remote will have a big appeal

Must be one of the hottest stocks on the market at the mo.
And,have you noticed the increased volume.Even,so,it is still well short of its flotation price.Still,I guess you must also remember that the market is having a particularly good day,

thanks for the chart cynic---I think we've seen the last of the bottom bumping in the blnx sp.

Pause for breathe at 36p with possible tick down if the markets have a bad day???
After that, steady climb back to the float price would be nice.

Wishfull thinking. Now at 31p I think it will drop back to below 20P then a good buy

All I asked was no chirping!

At least I am being positive!
I would have thought you would be gasping for breath, tabby, after your sparring on the MDX thread. Strewth, don't know where you get the energy to keep that up all day!!!

I can't see why it should drop below 20.You must have your head in the sand ?
Don't you know a great stock when you see one????????????????

nothing goes up in a straight line so expect a slight decline possibly tomorrow, unless we get another stonking RNS of course.

No offence Harryjust a little superstitious!

price falling off quite a bit, but no doubt just due to profit taking ...... BLNX, and this will also apply to SLN which has jumped 50+% in the last 2 days, are very difficult to value or more exactly to determine a fair sp price

ITS STRANGE SOME STOCKS GO HIGHER WITH HARDLY ANY POSITIVE STATEMENTS SUCH AS ACER,WHICH IS NEARLY 81 PERCENT UP WITH HARDLY ANY VOLUME AND STILL RISING AND WITH BLINX FOR INSTANCE THERE ARE MORE BUYS THAN SALES HENCE WITH POSITIVES FROM YESTERDAY PRICE IS FALLING,YES THERE COULD BE PROFIT TAKING BUT ITS STRANGE HOW THING GO AT TIMES.

YAHOO interest
U S ABC financial spot talked about Blinkx last night.
Said they were a definite bid target and it was rumoured that they were in talks with Yahoo.

up strongly tomorrow, Yahoo board meeting to rubber stamp a bid perhaps?

Re the buying and selling of Blinkx,I think the big drop in the sp on Wednesday in the final few minutes (3.75 down to 29.75) said it all.I.E. market manipulation by somebody.After all,there had been way more buying than selling,and on heavy volume.So something smells,but then again,it's not as though it wasn't happening all the time!

What about this possibility
Yesterday in google news= blinkx,there is an article by FREE PRESS TECHNOLOGY,and as usual there is an ad beside the text by Blockbuster offering to send free postage for film videos for the public= I can see the sending of videos by post being done away with in the future,as they can save so much money just going through Blinkx on a tv or computer,and the public renting direct from Blinkx all the time!
