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.

You have to admit that it is falling nicely back to a more sensible valuation.

sensible, cheap, expensive are pretty subjective especially with a stock like BLNX ..... all i will say, is that if anyone thinks GOOG are going to taken them out soon or even at any time, then they should live more in hope than expectation

Other search operations will overtake BLNX in the next 2/3 years, big changes ahead.

possibly; it's a pretty hard one to call i think and ditto to value ..... your back in the land of ladyboys i take it ..... did Princess enjoy herself in windsor? .... did you eat where i told you?

Yes back home Cynic, had a full oil body massage, this morning, pedicure, perfect shave, foot spa, and a blow job 1,000 baht = to 20.40 followed with large lobster lunch and a pint of Guinness another 10 but who cares it's only money.

Had dinner back in London with friends. But heads up for the reccomend.

SMDR two dusters and still creeping up I told you Cynic this one is going to fly.

SMDR - it's certainly defying gravity and logic, but then so is FOGL

Silly boy

Tabster,

You really do struggle to disseminate between positive news and the bullshit which is designed for the mug punter. You did it with the stress test results on Friday, I've seen you do it previously with your take on other crap stocks and you're doing it again now with this pile of junk.

Anyway, you carry on filling your boots if it makes you happy.

HilaryI am too embarrassed to disclose how kind this stock has beenI have also had a lot more dealings with mug punters than you havethats for sure!tell mehow do you learn in life? You are an intelligent person that is always right?I aint even got you as lucky? lol

Just before I retire to the hydraulic part of the houseI have a large holding in another crap stockAntisoma averaging change over 5p ...they will be announcing their Preliminary Results for the year ended 30 June on Thursday 29 July.I have a hunch that news will be better than expectedjust a hunch from a mugprobably a pile of junk.question..Is your husband very understandingor do you talk quite loudly to each other?.......toodle pip..

LAtelier de Jo Robuchon in Covent Garden

too much silly money for my taste ...... for similar reasons, i really do not like the waterside at bray, and fat duck is more of a stage show than a restaurant, "frightfully clever" as heston b is ... generally speaking we prefer to go where the food is still really good - the capital, galvin's, umu, zuma (for a real buzz!) - but the ambience more relaxed and not so up itself

Is that Aldo's place

Scott's is one of my favourites. Also Yauatcha. My favourite takeout though is a little stall in Argyll Street, best noodles ever! I just can't help it, I have to have at least one a week when I'm in London. :o)

I wasn't categorising Scott's and Yauatcha in the takeout section incidentally!

My favourite place is Joe Allen's I go there with some theatrical friends most entertaining.

i haven't got round to trying scott's since it fell into richard caring's empire, but i hear very good reports of it ... actually i live 30 miles west of london, so tend to eat relatively locally where we have a pretty good selection, though not by london standards

aldo's place?? .... = aldo zilli? ... no; he has a fish restaurant

someone else raved about joe allen's just the other day ... i haven't been there in 30 years or more, though covent garden is not really my area now
