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.

Yes. that's what i was saying

"RDG trust me hes demented"

I know he is.

I agree Cynicyou cant ban haystack for being demented.he needs help!

what is a loner?
what is spamming in respect of BBs?
why is it arrogant to disagree with you, as you seem to imply?

Haystackyou are damaging AM.fcuk off you fruitcake!

rdg
Of course I was banned on ADVFN. Most of the sensible poster on here have been banned by ADVFN, including all the management and MM, who just had the temerity to build this site.

speak for yourself!
i was only ever there for 20 minutes which gave them no time to ban me for being demented or anything else

cynic
Don't upset rdg. you know he doesn't like contrary opinions. You won't like him when he is angry.

Does he walk around inner circle when he's angry?

only when they forget to nail down the other foot, which regularly happens at easter when seemingly there is a shortage of nails

RDGdont panic.most investors on here know all about the gangyou are far from being alonethere are things being done if that helps

is that the gang of paranoids or the conspirators?

Cynic you are pissing me off today!take a break.

not likely; i'm enjoying myself and it helps relieve the boredom of doing one of those very tiresome jobs that falls on directors - i.e. jobs that no one else wants to do

Who are you sacking now ?

we don't sack people, or almost never, and amazingly people don't seem to leave either ..... i guess it's always difficult to do so when you're chained up in the cellar

Well you are certainly becoming tiresomebut if you want to carry on with the pretence feel free.

the pretence of what?
and meanwhile, almost as much fun watching CNT slowly crumbling away

is that the gang of paranoids or the conspirators?.Cynicnot one of your brighter posts!

???????? ...... you're the one who is paranoid and thinks there is such a thing as a gang, not i

OK Cynicwell play it your waylol
