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 have never professed to being clever, I just don't advertise the fact I'm not, which if that means I'm a 'thicko' so be it.

But you didn't anser the question, what's the scam? I'd ask Gausie, but I don't think he can tell me. I guess if you don't answer the question, we're well and truly into the realms of paranoia.

from a stance of ignorance from the off, but as gausie said, there is certainly a love for presuming conspiracy on this BB when something goes awry ...... i rather suspect that clubby just let himself be led into some stupid indiscretion, which is completely different from a conspiracy or a scam

by the way tabby, peter is actually a really nice guy, and an awful lot more intelligent that you choose to him credit for - he is one of very few from this board whom i have met, so i talk from hands-on experience (well, peter is a sailor!)

Hence my post Cynic Peteras I said you are not squelched I have a lot of respect for what you have achieved

Thanks Cynic, pth - I owe you each a ride in one of my fancy silent black helicopters. Remind me, after they're back from operation Gillingham.

FFS Richard, I've spent years building up a condescending, arrogant persona and in one post you blow it out of the water! At least tongues were not involved!!

blow what out of the water - and with a sailor too!

gausie - was my guess from ignorance along the right lines, for i really have no idea what caused clubby to be exiled?

Gausie breaths a sigh of reliefCynic/Peter playing gamesand I shot down a number of Black helicopters around St Katherines Dock.and enjoyed my time doing it.

Cynic

He dropped me a note to say Tabby got him banned. He's very pissed off about it all.

No tabs - you're the naive one.

Cynic knows his onions. You just know your pineapples.

Clubbyso here was me thinking Gausie banned you from AMwhen in fact it was me all alongmust be correct because Gausie saysand everyone on here seems to believe himstill he did say BLNX 30p and advised all to sellthen of course he said the same about M&S at 2-20...I can see why so many believe every word he says.>
