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.

Zippy

55p might save it - otherwise 30p looks like almost certain.

Dont panic boys and girlsthe ftse is at 5242... blnx price is strong.Clubby you got mail on the talk to yourself thread.

blinx price is strong???????

Yeah, a strong contender for biggest loser of the day. See Today's biggest losers

Gausieyou have that title todayI will be checking at 4-35 for blnx

If you're so certain you'd be buying. And clearly you're not.

tabby - open your eyes to reality! ..... for sure there is a support level somewhere, though i haven't checked where, but for sure it'll be well below current 62/63 level

Cynic - support levels are 55p, 30p and about 10p.

Cynicis it as obvious as your Connaught short?

Or was you Connaught short?

i am again short CNT at 16.705 ..... and even though i gave back a great slab of my profit, i still made and banked a worthwhile one .....

i was also long BLNX where i banked a fairly modest profit when i came to the conclusion that 68.50 would not be broken and held .....

so your point is?

You are not always rightsimplessome days you are less right than others?

of course, but i nearly always own up without being asked ..... and btw i'm also short WOS, FOGL (hedge against RKH), SCHE and ASC

Cynichow many times have I bigged you up?come onany more times and I will be accused of arse licking

Tabby - none of us is always right. Anyone who claims to be is either lying or is mentally ill.

You're the only person I've ever met on these BBs who claims to be always right.

Is that a spot of bearish MACD divergence I see before me?

Hils - I'm watching for RSI to break down (currently pennanting) before I increase.

Easy..easy...lol

no thanks ..... spent 20 minutes there 2/3 years ago, and it was so full of backbiting and other garbage that i have never had any wish to return

if "clubboy" is a masquerader as i suspect, then buzz off ...... this site is certainly not faultless or blameless as the case may be, but on the whole, the comment here is fairly intelligent or failing that, at least generally moderately entertaining - a couple of obvious exceptions to that!

if "clubboy" is "lazarus revived", then for goodness sake stay at least half-way humanoid so we can all enjoy your company

stop being an ass!

i don't need to old son; i have always been and remain my own man .... off home now to enjoy a decent bottle of wine; you've probably had enough already
