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.

Over 4,000 page impressions, 1,200 unique vistors and nearly 27k sales over last weekend, Tabster, mostly referred from a text link at a am competitor. That's not exactly what I'd call dumb.

Please thank Clubman for posting the link.

These BBs have no influenceno matter was is saidask Haystack and the rest of the gangyou can all slag off Companies to short and it wont make a difference...or so you keep telling us investors.or are you saying it doeslol.you all speak with forked tongueand Tabasco tells the World!!!

Aldouse yer head mate!

You're losing the plot again!

CynicI have just read my postand it aint come out right.safe flight honest!

Hilaryyour post is in Latin.translated it means fcuk it.Ive been rumbled!

NEW YORK (Reuters) Hulu, the web video service that features popular shows such as "Glee" and "Modern Family" as well as movies, is planning an initial public offering that could value the company at more than $2 billion
Hulu reported revenue of about $100 million last year

When you look at blnx forecasts {$80 million} and start making comparisons?

Blinkx produced better than expected full year revenues in the year to March 2010. They more than doubled from $14m to $33.7m. Blinkx lost money but that was mainly down to more than $10m spent on R&D during the year. A profit is expected in 2010-11 but it is difficult to assess the level of profit at this point in the financial yearwe know!
The newest product is Cheep, which hijacks users about to buy products online and points them towards a cheaper alternative retailer of the product. This could be released in the second half of this year.

First page of the TOP LIST........+5.5%

Nice little last five minutes +6.7%.makes tomorrows start a little more interesting

Still have a small short position from 68.50.

Every high close is just a little bit lower than the previous and reinforces the 70p resistance. The problem is that every low is also just a little bit higher than the previous. RSI shows an intact downtrend and a slightly longer intact uptrend.

Taken together, these suggest that the next move will be a big move, but they give no indication of direction.

The only directional indicators on my chart are the bearish divergence on the RSI downtrend (which will only be corrected if the price goes below 30p) and the RSI showing as marginally overbought. However either the RSI downtrend or the RSI uptrend will be broken when the big move comes - if the downtrend breaks (ie the price breaks up) then the divergence becomes irrelevant.

Sitting tight - still happy with my position. The chart seems to favour a bearish break - but I also recognise there's a fair chance I'll be stopped out.

Christ Gausiethat is a rational and reasonable postare you ok?although I dont agree with it the question you pose is balanced for all to make there own mind upblnx has bagged me a nice potand dare I say Ive traded a nice pot above my max. holding on the bear move imo the jackpot will arriveI am not lucky enough to know the datecould be tomorrowcould be two years?but I intend to hold most until my target is reachedI think most short traders can spot better propositions elsewhere?

GausieI am surprised you were not trumped in the 70s

Tabby - I think I posted my stop a few days ago. Or if I didn't post it, I posted my entry price, target and risk/reward ratio - from which you can derive the stop.

"the world's largest and most advanced video search engine"

Yes, of course it is.

LOL

68 seems to be a key point.Just nudged over at 68.25

This post has gone on most BBsand the Author claims to know The DoctorI believe it is worth posting up as a bit of a ramp and to compensate for haystack antics ?..

My target price for Blinkx is 300p (circa 1bn mkt cap ) and I'd like to explain why.

1. Knowing Dr Lynch, and I do, I don't think he is going to let Blinkx sell out too soon or too cheap to the first few offers from Google or Microsoft. I think he has a pet hate of British tech companies selling too early to US buyers and he isn't building Blinkx just to let it go for a song at this, the very start of the Internet video game.

2. The Blinkx patent portfolio is extremely diverse and robust. The company has only just begun to commercialise some of the applications of its technologies. Google and Microsoft are desperate to equip their present and future properties with deep video search but it is likely that neither of them can even get started without infringing the Blinkx/Autonomy patents. They are up against an insurmountable IP barrier and, to make matters even trickier, the Blinkx-Autonomy licence arrangement is a triumph of barrier engineering science.

3. Video advertising on desktop and mobile screens is going to be so much more important than any other kind of online advertising. Web users went banner blind ages ago and only the very smartest contextual/behavioural ad serving systems have any relevance in today's game. Tomorrow's game is video ads, and Blinkx is perfectly positioned to become the Double-Click of online and mobile video ads, pre-rolls, mid-rolls...and eyeball intrusion methods we haven't even contemplated yet.

4. Google has eaten everyone's lunch in the textual search and keyword advertising space, and in the meta-data-based image search game. When the web began in 94/95, none of us foresaw just how important and how lucrative textual search was to become in the longer term. Time and again we have overestimated the short term value in dot com tech and grossly underestimated the long term implications. Why not take that serially repetitious error on board and really try to fathom Dr Lynch's long term vision for Blinkx?

5. Once it settles down generating stable profits, Blinkx will easily be a PE ratio 30(ish) company. It is quite conceivable that Blinkx could, in the not too distant future, achieve profit levels around the 30m mark and, by using more and more cloud services as well as the infrastructure it's already built, could do this without needing to raise very large capital sums through any heavily dilutionary share issues.

I've held BLNX patiently from when it hit bottom and have been reading this discussion board ever since. There have been many posts whose authors have been hitting all the right nails on the head, and others who have not been so fortunate or insightful in their analyses. How lucky we are to have such freedom to debate while the management of the companies under debate just get their heads down and get on with the execution.

Auction!

Skinny been adding to BLNX this am after a luck escape from PVCS just before the major drop.
