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.

I dont need that crap Cynicnothing wrong with the Salamanderask clubby

I forgot about the dry holes?

surprisingly, that one has held up well

It needed a splint!

well clearly it found one!

Cyniccan you believe Clubby has been bannedsure he was a little racistsure he posted up pornsure he was sexistsure he used every bad swear word on the planetbut to ban him for interfering with Gausies planned stings was a bit strong!!!

Missing him already :o)

i really really hope he hasn't been banned ...... for all his silliness, he was pretty entertaining most of the time

Come on Chris he was good value.and anyone that fcuks up Gausies slippery plans are mates of mineI thought he had a soft spot for youI dont know if it was in the temple?

I'll admit he was good banter Tabby, I was looking forward to his take on Fred on his return, that would have been entertaining.

the news is, i am sorry to say, absolutely true - had a private e- from the boy ..... i can think of a couple of others who splash about on the gaza thread whom i would far rather see exiled

Cynicread part of a post from Gausie and you will see how bullet proof he is with his scheminghe got Clubby bannedno doubt about it. >

Tabs
And you're right - Ian couldn't and wouldn't say anything to me about you.

Crystal clear ah?

Gausie - if the above is true, then sorry, but that is cheap, nasty and underhand and you should be ashamed

I don't think Gaussie had Clubman banned. He was pretty racists though. I do think he should be banned though, unless he promises to behave a bit better.

Haystack...you are his right hand man...fcuk off!!!

Thanks for the mail Clubby. I'm sure you'll be back as Clubman3510.

Then there's another 6,489 IDs available before you have to go to 5 digits.

I doubt that moniker will last long clubby. And they do have technology to lock your machine out of MAM if you give them too much grief. Suggest you tone it down it down a bit and toe the line for a while.

Suggest you practice what you preach big boy..Suggest you tone it down it down a bit and toe the line for a while. he didnt !!!

Ian cocked a deaf 'un"....lol

personally, i thought clubby was on the road to redemption, for there certainly was a period when even i had probs not taking offense ..... wikll he ever become vanilla? .... i sure as hell hope not, and equally i hope he'll be allowed back in here.

if the management would give a clue, i'll happily act as mediator in my usual statesmanlike manner - i am actually being serious about getting clubby back on board

You guys do love a conspiracy theory.

Clubby dropped me a couple of farewell notes - all friendly and clearly not in the least pissed with me.

He was a fully paid up member - and so had access to the traders' room. His posts on today's traders' thread lead to his banning. And they were nothing to do with me.

But I doubt Tabby will believe any of this - he much prefers his fantasy world.

i discount 99.9% of conspiracy theories as proved by assorted posts on this board.
more to the point .... if i can be of any help in re-humanising the boy, i would be delighted to offer my services

Gausieyou are full of shitand Cynic can buy if he wishesoff out now
