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.

Ok Tabby, horses for courses and all that. I will give that book a shot though just for curiosity, thanks.

The groovy gang have been working 24/7 over the weekend on various BBs with scripted repeats.[waste of money] .all the MMs can manage is p dropbit of a shame reallyI was getting into quick buck mode with my over max. holding.if they are scared to drop on this volumethe future looks even better

Tabby is BLNX the only stock down today

You missed off so far.I am quite happy for it to drop on low volumebut p will see no actionI have money on the side waiting

Clubby is buying BLNX on a order trade 12p

Off about 7% from recent highs and looking likely to run back down to about 30p.

With Ashley James' untimely demise, any former SEALs care to join SETLs? The pickings look just as rich and just as easy.

Google / Yahoo and the like are working on video searchalbeit well behind blnxwho hold important patents which will hamstring the big boys the big players obviously missed the boat on video searchand will have to get their cheque books out.it will be sweet to think they will be paying me personallyplease gang short the arse off of thismost exciting for meespecially as big buys coming next Tuesday/Wednesdaythats just another one of my lucky huncheswhich will turn out rightthe thought of certain traders getting fcuked is better than the huge profits myself and friends have already madeto all holdersplease DYOR I hold the edge on this one!!!!

Google have plenty of searching patents. What sort of business do you think they are in? They started earlier than almost everyone in search and certainly much earlier than Blinkx.

Haystackor TheRealHaystackor Ziplessor what ever nom de plume you use for the various bbs used to slag this stocka very good deflector post.but you answered a question I never put..this is fact!blinkx plc (LSE AIM: BLNX) is the world's largest and most advanced video search enginethey have indexed more hours of audio.. Video.. viral and TV content than anyone elseGoogle and others are behind in that fieldgot that!!!! A lot of blnx technology is patented or licensed from Autonomyblinkx's patented search technologies listen to - and even see - the Web, helping users enjoy a breadth and accuracy of search results not available elsewhere.
it is very unlikely that any of the big boys will surpass them in this field without that protected technologynow it will suit me just fine if the price drops over the next 4 or 5 daysit will be even better to see traders beating each other up.please go short.please sell................investors and potential investors DYOR

Would suit me too, Tabby, to re-stock on this stock. My average buy price is 17p for this one - not that I want to see it drop that low again!

Well done Toya good girl! I have reloaded above my max a few times [I might sound recklessbut I am disciplined] I look at my portfolio and have to pinch myself truth is this stock over a period is only going one way imo..Even a fully fledged gang member is buying blnx.ffs if Trig buys.. this must be good lol

tabasco
And who gave them the title "the world's largest and most advanced video search engine". And who said "they have indexed more hours of audio.. Video.. viral and TV content than anyone else". You do seem more than a bit gullible as regards marketing hype. The technology is not 'protected' as you like to style it. Technology progresses and Google and others will come up with newer technology. Google probably already has better search methods even now. Algoritms to do almost anything get improved and reinvented all the time.

When will they make a profit? Will they ever make a profit?
