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.

Sounds nearly as exciting as jkd's posts!

Sometimes,especially after a loss, I've considered taking up Snakes and Ladders.

Steady now Chess :o)

now if a had asked for c's BSL grade i may have understood.;-)

Gausienot a bad dayChesshave I ever had a pop at youJKD is a shit stirring irritantas you probably knowCynicbinned your profitwell donebut a brave man that could be kicking himself shortlyanyway I am ever so slightly pissedtalk later

Cynic you must have sold at around 66p.big mistake my friend

66.25 to be exact ..... if it's a mistake then so be it, but quite possibly i shall be able to buy in cheaper in due course or even deem it worth to buy in at a higher price ..... as i often say, no one ever went broke banking a profit

CynicI learned a lot from thisdont listen to anyone else.
Jesus with a soft slow voice saidPeterPeter ..Peter barged his way through the soldiers but was pushed back with force.there was that cry once againPeterPeter.Peter looked up at Jesus and took on the Soldiers but was clubbyed to the floorhe heard the cry once morePeterPeterwith true resilience Peter crawled his way to the front of the crossthe soldiers cut off both his arms and both his legshe wriggled with defiance to within a yard of Jesusthe Soldiers took a step backthere was an eerie silenceJesus was about to speakPeterPeter. Peter looked up and with almost his last breath he utteredwhat is it oh master.Jesus looked Peter in the eye and proclaimed.Peter I can see your house from up here..
Sorry but I had to give Clubby a special mention.

cynic market cap 300m last accounts show net worth $25m please explain?

Halifaxyou have the timing of Chubby Brownbut unfortunately not the humour

Tabasco
Of course. Now I know who you remind me of.

Jesus!

hali - you know me; i know fuck all about everything ..... BLNX is almost but not quite a blue sky company ..... it certainly keeps pulling in some pretty high powered "contracts" - perhaps "connections" would be more apposite - and the perception is that sooner rather than later the company will start making some very large profits indeed ..... in some ways not a lot different from oilies with (proven) oil in the ground but not coming out of it, but of course without the huge expense involved

Cynicthis is a nailed on Royal Flushno need to be greedyno need to tradejust sit back and keep countingbtwnotice I shut rent-a-gob for a dayand thats no mean feethe must be planning his next scamunfortunately the posse done his shift

Why would it matter if Blinkx had an app on the Samsung Galaxy S, when all android apps are availibale to the Galaxy? There are loads of video search apps for Android.

cynic one is investing "on a wing and a prayer" then?

Samsung Galaxy tablet launch date revealed?
The Korean electronics giant Samsung has been talking up its slate recently, and had previously suggested a launch date around the end of the summer. But with the company having scheduled a special event next Wednesday, August 11, expectations are that the Galaxy tablet could be taking a bow sooner than expected.
The device is expected to launch with a 7in AMOLED touchscreen, though there are rumours of an 8in and iPad-matching 10in variants. In addition, they will run Googles Android operating system rather than Samsungs own Bada platform.
4/9 blnx are involved.we will know soon

your post 1583 seems to suggest you bought more today. Will you buy more tomorrow? You'll get them even cheaper.

I love that you buy falling shares on the way down - it gives us people to sell to.
----------------------------------
GausieI love that you sell me shares cheapit gives us investors mugs to make money out of.

And the Galaxy Tablet will also be able to use all video search apps that are on the Android Marketplace. An app just for Galaxy S seems to be a dead loss.

yes hali, sort of but still an interesting company to watch and perhaps to buy or trade ....... better than say EO.? ..... on balance, i think i'ld rather have my money in the latter
