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've clearly not read the Meldex thread, Cynic!

Cynic - he posts about them - but he simply can't smell them.

He still thinks MDX is going to come good for him - something he blew over 100k on.

His Misses is still trying to blow it back.

you're right hilary; i haven't .... i take it it's a stunner like SEO

Worse - SEO still has a listing.

Cynicwhat another coincidence the posse has turned uplol right seeing as your honest and so am I heres the SPI have made two large investments in MDXthe first time round I bailed out totally in the 1-30s and had it off.this last time I was in for well over six figures and got stung my a scamyou know the sort of thing Gausie good atthere is currently a case in progressthere will probably be a criminal case at a latter datethe ceo transferred all his dough into his wifes name and done a runneradd the two investments together and I still lost 40,000 so farif you get a chance read a couple of TFLBT 2008 rnsclassicsthere you gogot stungbut I guess I will surviveright how much have I made in the last couple of years on BVIC? or BLNX or even MKS as well as some very nice puntsthe answer looking at my portfolio roughly speaking in round figuresand in broad terms.taking everything into account and not forgetting the Wine. quite a fcuking lot!lol

court case? .... forget it; it'll never run; it never does ..... as a parallel, have a look if you can at a certain financial services company, which had better remain nameless, which ran a huge scam with others (split capital investment trust) - oh sorry; that was never proven in court was it! - and the founder shareholder of said company walked away with a trunkful of cash and a big house in barbados - whoops sorry! that was his wife's money; i forgot

I know Cynicno chancethere is an ex. Mdx at RBSPeter Ibbotson, RBS's small business chairman, denied the bank lacks sympathy for small businessesI just pissed myselflol

Tabasco, is it my imagination, or is your language becoming worse with each passing day? I can't really see the reason for it except to say 'deranged' fits the bill. As far as the defamation cases that have been posted today, I don't really see those as conspiracies, just posters attempting to influence holders into selling. It happens all the time, both shorters and rampers use the same tactics.

As far as BLNX is concerned, I don't think this is a double top, there is loads of room on the indicators for the SP to continue rising, although the volume appears to be falling off. I wouldn't short it right now.

Thanks for you view PeterI am only foul-mouthed with the boys you understandfunny how It becomes a legal matter when the shorters are making up shit about companies!never seen an investor get done for promoting the companyperhaps the Germans are on to somethinganyway good of you to read all the posts and have a balanced view.love youthat was for JKD...
