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.

Tote Bookmakers did not exist when I was there as they only started in 1973, so it could not have been them that were laying off bets on the Tote. It was odinary bookmakers. 1962 tote buys Tote Investors Ltd, so they were part of the Tote when I worked there in 1965/6 and not a seperate bookmaher.

Bookmakers do not lay their bets/liabilities off on a tote poolyou cannot calculate your liabilities on tote its down to chancethere is a huge disparity between the twoand there is also no connection with the returned SP.. now I am board with your drivel.

talking of bored.....

Skinnyentice him away please?I dont want to talk about tote bettingask the French...it bores them silly toonow BLNX that is a subject to get your juices flowingmines a large one

well there's a post on the gaza thread that still awaits his comment - i've asked him a couple of times previously, but he seemed to become selectively blind again

CynicI would like to add deaf and dumbhe was an MD you know?

Does that stand for McDonalds?

maniacally dysfunctional?
manic depressive?
morally dubious?

Mister Donut?

Gausie.are you back with me?71.5p ouch!the wife sends her condolences ..your awfully good at getting it wrongplenty of practice with Haystack as a matenow what do you reckon for BLNX tomorrow us investors are all earsare we going to be up or down?what would you say in your seminars?who fancies a cheese roll?.lol.what was you saying Peter?

Quite agree CynicI was just interested if Gausie had been trumpedhow close he isand what he thinks will happen tomorrow?he is a very clever trader you know!

Then why does the written Parliamentary answer say

"6. Bets laid off by outside bookmakers for inclusion in the pool were placed with Tote Credit Limited"

Note outside bookmakers.

You are clearly blind to logic and proof.

Bullseye - go back to the gaza thread and answer the question asked and not the one you would have liked to be asked

And Tote Credit Limited are Bookmakers.Bookmakers to Bookmakersnot Bookmakers to Tote Pool get it?
3. The procedure for transmitting to the relevant pool bets laid off by Tote Credit Limited, one of the Tote's bookmaking subsidiary companies
You are clearly blind to logic and proof...now go away!

The article says 'outside bookmakers'. Tote Investors, which became Tote Credit is not outside and they would have no need to lay off bets as they are part of the pool. They have no odds based liability.

Intererstingly they can sue for gambling debts as the bet is a purchase of a share of the pool. In my day gambling debts were 'debts in honour' only and you could not be sued.

Haystackyou are the biggest wind-up known to manparagraph 3 clearly states Tote Credit Limited are one of Tote's bookmaking subsidiary companiesparagraph 6 clearly states Bets laid off by outside bookmakers for inclusion in the pool were placed with Tote Credit Limitedoutside Bookmakers were laying off with Tote Credit {bookmakers] at an agreed price not tote return!...Bookmaker to Bookmaker...at no time does the stone age article say outside Bookmakers laid their bets directly with the tote pool...

3. The procedure for transmitting to the relevant pool bets laid off by Tote Credit Limited, one of the Tote's bookmaking subsidiary companies

6. Bets laid off by outside bookmakers for inclusion in the pool were placed with Tote Credit Limited as agent for the Tote for onward transmission to the course after the result of the race

Bookmaker to Tote Credit {bookmakers] to Tote pool [Totaliser]

Can anyone else understand this?

Yes. yehy own them, hence NOT an outside company.

"outside bookmakers for inclusion in the pool were placed with Tote Credit Limited"

So the lay off bets were placed by outside bookmakers WITH Totte Credit Ltd. That means it can't be Tote Credit doing the lay offs as the outside bookmakers are doing it with them. That means the outside bookmakers are laying off on the Tote. It has to be done via Tote Credit as the bookmakers would be doing it on credit and cash at the track.

Haystackyou keep saying the same thing total bo**ocksgo and speak to Paddy PowerLadbrokesBarry Dennisor whoever you like Ill leave it for others to understandend of! why am I not surprised you have had many jobs and you have ended up with thislol still blnx are worthless 0pyou are always right on the Gaza threadGausie is your love childand Hilary is your Fairy Godmother.now go and answer Cynic
