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.

Halifax ---Here Here,but do tell about these opportunities referrede to above.

So now the market knows the price at which the directors are happy to cash in their options. Stupid fool should've cashed in a few more.

It also indicates that they are not confident of the price reaching and/or staying above that level. My guess is that they think they are lucky for it to have got this high.

In that case Halifax you need to s yourself. Tell me you don't live in that shithole Halifax Yorkshire what a depressing town full of chavs and pisspoor benefit seekers.

Haystackwould you like a slot on the six oclock news?

Did you get my email? I had a lot of trouble sending it via MAM. It took about 6 attempts.

Not yet, Tabster, I'm just muppet baiting at the moment. If you're as good as you think you are, you'll know soon enough if I short it.

Yes I did, thanks, Haystack. I think the am site went down for a bit earlier which might explain why I received it thrice.

:o)

I'll look it over tonight and get back to you in the morning.

Oops.
I took your 'Not yet' as a no, so I have sent it again!
Sorry

Make that four times.

:o)

Hilaryyou flatter yourselfI am a small fortune up on this stockand so are friends and familyI dont particularly care past thoseBTWI am that good!and if you take a short position outyou would soon find out who the Muppet is?

post 1287 .... that looks very much like an estate agent's pic ..... personally speaking, there is scarcely a house on the wentworth estate which i would want to live in, and that isn't one ..... for all that, there are far worse examples of crass taste to be found there - no surprises! ..... i wonder if this particular one is the house behind the 17th green on the south ..... though pseudo georgian with a typically huge footprint, it blends in reasonably well

Yes its from Knightfrank findaproperty - hardly rocket science!
