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.

Or maybe 50 more partnerships

I said wait and see at 12pfor which I was assassinatedand I am saying it againthats not hard is it?

Tabby is a lost cause

RF + Tabby - you're making the customary error of confusing contracts = turnover, with profit .... imo, blnx will eventually come good, though heaven knows, it's gathering "contracts" for a hell of a long time now, but there is now no obvious hurry to buy back in until say October (next figures 8/11)

Tosspot - are you still chickening out of a drink?

Daniel Stewart Upgradelol
blinkx Goes Apps The formula is simple [Smartphone growth x apps x video] = a mobile advertising boom. Signing blinkxBeat with SamsungApps Android phone firmly aligns blinkx with this opportunity Investment Case Cisco projects that by 2014 mobile data traffic will have grown 39-fold, with some 72% being video-based. Inclusive of the mobile opportunity, we have raised our medium-term blinkx daily video search outlook (e.g. 2012 from 36m/day to 54m). Our DCF-based target per share value is raised accordingly from 61p to 110p/share.

An app on Samsung is not going to make Blink's fortune.

only laugh when the upgrade is realised and sp is 100+ and you have banked a profit ..... i'm very happy to have banked a good profit 10/15p higher than today; shall probably buy back in due course - but not for a while unless there's looks good reason, which at present there is not

And up turns haystack who hasnt a penny interest?.lol.what about the house broker gag?revised?

How is your bird doing?has she got the yellow letter with the three kisses onlol

Probably find out Daniel Stewart has the Doctors potL2 is a shambles.hope the two love birds are not short. Here we go here we go here we go!!!

Cynic Im buzzing!!!!

HilaryIve got my four cars backand Ill raise you a Mini Cooper!

The MMs are totally fcukedand so are a few others.what a mess..lol

Haystackyouve blown over..

so you are .... a nice t'around

I guess it could be because in AU.'s statement they said they were on the acqusition trail shortly which could mean they're going to take BLNX back in house?

You were saying when it fell that it would rise again. In a similar way I am saying that as it rises so will it fall again. This is just a trap to get a few punters to mop up stock that was sold before it plummets again.

Whatever it is, the movement is up at the mo + 2.75
