I got some free shares in this one and also topped up on the profit taking. It's been all downhill so far but I feel this one could take off very quickly or be gobbled up by one of the giants. Anyone else joining in the wait and see brigade??

Google ready to snap up Blinkx. (Maybe)

Good to see it back around the 20p mark again - I was very disappointed by the recent dip! But something seems to be afoot today: max size to buy on Selftrade is currently just 1,500 and on IG you'd have to phone to buy any at all.

Still, mustn't get overly excited!

Ah: apparently a snippet in today's Mail resuscitating the 'Google bid' speculation.

Up over 50% from the lows.
What I couldn't understand during all the falls was the fact that the buying was still very strong.Let's hope all that is now behind.

Up to fast for me on a journalist tip from the mail

What about down too fast.After all,It has only half of its float price,and the potential is fantastic.

wouldn't it be nice if for just once a press rumour actually proved accurate

This is not good news for BlinkX...


Google feels pinch as advertisers shun YouTube

Google is struggling to generate advertising revenue from home video site YouTube, which it bought two years ago for $1.65bn (832m).

YouTube, whose avid worldwide users share watch an average of more than 1bn clips a day, is reportedly set to bring in approximately $200m of revenue for the full year.

The revenue level is understood to fall considerably short of Google's own internal targets, which had been based on the site's likely popularity with corporate advertisers.

However that strategy does not appear to be paying off, with advertisers preferring more traditional types of advertising rather than jumping head first into video advertising.

Could it be that if Google is struggling to generate revenue, Blinkx might well be largely responsible.The crucial question must be how does Blinkx share of the market stack up against the competition.Any info available on what that might be?

BlinkX is nothing compared to Google. Chickenfeed

Yes,but there's no smoke without fire.,or put another way,the great oak comes from the little seed.
After all ,isn't that precisely what we are looking to find
Check out some of the comments on "Interactive Investor" re a Google Blinkx tie-up That certainly suggest a bid

Looks like somebody knows something, up again this morning. I am weary of a dramatic rises without firm news. I think Blinkx will fall back.

lots of good announcements for BLNX today ...... not guessing for they are already out

Pleased to see that the various new agreements are reflected in the sp today

I believe there has also been some talk about a listing on the Nasdaq.I think that can only be positive for Blinkx

would rather the t/o rumour was true!

I think the tie-up with Microsoft is the big issue in todays' movement

nothing is certain as with microsoft would have been heavily involved with blnx. it may take another 8 months untill blnx is in profit for any one worth while to purchase this company for the present blnx move back below 14p.

I suppose that there are a good few with this 14p projection for Blinkx.However,I would have thought it obvious,even to a dolt,that this little company has fantastic potential.Why therefore try to sell it down the Swannee?

Another thing to bear in mind ,with just 277 million shares on offer,and several institutions buying up large tracts,the shares may soon become much sought after.
The Microsoft deal may well prove to be the catalyst for many others to dive in.
