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.

People keep saying that Citigroup says this and that.

What a surprise! Citigroup are their house broker.

Surely you are not gullible enought to believe a house broker. Who believes house broker reports. When did a house broker say sell?

And you have no financial interest the real haystack?.what do you think know Peter?...just trying to help us all?

Here's one for you, Tabster .......

No just three. I could post on a half dozen more if you like.

Well, this is a fun thread all of a sudden.

Right out for a meal with the Wife. bonne nuit

still waiting for your revised view Peter?

Speak of the devil?but got to go..

your friends always said you were paying me too much ..... my pick-up truck should have given you the clue! .... are you coming south again before you die?

tabasco
Why concern yourself with my motives. I am not bothered about your motives.

"dont take me for a mug HilaryIm insulted"

Would I ever take you for a mug, Tabster? You're getting paranoid.

Richard, I'm South all the time, sorry should have appraised you of the move - Harrow on t'Hill during the week.

Tabby, I posted quite some ago that I didn't consider BLNX worth investing in and the following months proved me correct as the SP either dipped a little or moved sideways; after that it dropped off my radar and I lost interest. FWIW, I am entirely suspicious that such a large loss making company is witnessing a dramatic rise in its SP, so from that perspective I'm with Hils. Which isn't to say that the SP won't keep rising, nor that the company won't actually start making money in the future. I'll give it a miss thank you.

peter - do you work during the week, or do you have time to golf?

I notice there was plenty of trader talk last nightand a distinct lack of pleasant bonhomiehaystacks egregious conduct and the mendacity of other posters tells me all I need to knowshame after such a nice evening out let me just remind those posters:-

Comments by Suranga included"We're delighted to report another strong performance this year. While the full year financial results are excellent, our second half was nothing short of transformational as the ""business moved into EBITDA positive territory, ahead of expectations. Since our ipo, the blinkx team has built strong foundations for the business; a portfolio of consumer products, the AdHoc advertising platform, and our network of over 720 content partners and top-tier distribution partners.
