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.

Cynic - No sense of humour man! Trust me there is life after Bolly, Pimms and Gin and T :o)

A few trades amouning to 1 millon plus buys put through just after closing(4.3 million on day)

plenty of soh, though often fairly warped

Tabs - you fancy joining us?

Is that where the big nobs hang out?

Sorry! The ones who think they are big nobs.

you're just a big knob, or so you would have us believe
by the way what about the list of all the companies that you shorted over the last 3 months?

That would be a very small list as I don't ever short stocks.

oh so no money with mouth then - ever! ..... to my mind that just about proves your lack of credibility

Haystack.
What about a few tips on stocks to BUY.
There must be a few good ones out there.

AccuWeather has a much higher level of branding and reach than DirtRider or SheepShagger or whoever it was that they partnered with the other week. It's a shame they don't talk money in their news releases, as that looks like it could be a good deal.

Cyniche is hounded off all siteshe has zero credibilityby his own admission these bbs are just for funthen when somebody embraces that fun they are bannedlol

i merely opened the door for him, which he obligingly walked through ..... if he doesn't short stocks, perhaps he'll enlighten us to which stocks he currently holds .... presumably none, as he admits there are few he likes, though he hasn't yet specified which despite being asked

Haystack is on these bbs 24/7 for a laughor so he says? I think all can agreewe all laugh at him.job done haystack!

What was that pathetic announcement about AccuWeather.com? Any company can put AccuWeather.com on their site. They make it sound like it is something special. That sort of announcement just makes them look stupid. Once again it is all hype and no content.

bullseye - once you start marrying money to mouth, instead of hot air to mouth, some people may actually pay you some attention ...... as it is, you just take up and waste space

It is interesting to see Blinkx's visitors falling.

Their Quantcast ranking are falling fast and are lower than 2008

as of 13 Dec 2008: rank was 167

This month

AUG 23 207
AUG 22 194
AUG 19 164
AUG 17 156
AUG 15 145
AUG 11 113
AUG 10 105
AUG 09 101

fascinating - so though the above ranking, for whatever it may be worth, shows blnx losing market share (not necessarily the same as losing visitors), until the last 2 days, it has actually been ahead of 2008 ...... what happened in 2009?

Haystackare you related to Chwisss?this reason is old news on advfnthe ratings went ballistic and false during the World Cupwe were next to the BBC @ 58 near the finals... never mind keep tryingyou do have a sad life
