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.

from what i know zippy is a failed IT programmer who is probably now in his 50s or 60s - and clearly is completely nuts and has an awful lot of time on his hands!

I would say a fair assessment.Geheimnis2

I am in IT and I was the MD of a software company for many years.

Haystack....you missed the "SH" out!

And what were you. A bookies runner it would seem.

Hot and Spicy!.and never wrong

Most of the bookies that I have met were the dregs of society.

Im surprised you found anyyou need a sat. nav. to get home!

They are going to thank me on all the other BLNX threads.

Cynic said hes missing you..

You do have an unusual amount of arrogance haystack, actually not that unusual
for know alls from the internet !

Just reminds me what you were like when you had that spamming vendetta on advfn all those years ago !

I used to work for the Tote many years ago and met loads of bookies, scum most of them.

rdg
I think you will find that you have the reputation of unfounded arrogance. I seem to remember that you were banned from this BB for abusive displays of that arrogance.

may i suggest, you gals with handbags, that you now sit back and watch

The amount of jobs you had tells a familiar story.nobody likes you!lolyou aint exactly an A Star pupil at this shorting game either

Haystack.

I suppose you could not reply with anything else but laughable that you call me arrogant :-))

I might like the odd argument i dont deny but arrogance is not me, you and your
little inner circle here dont bother me in the slightest but it is a bit weird to see
you back on your old crusades, are you retired and just bored ?

ah well, a lot of those bookies were jews too, so they were probably the scum to whom you allude
