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.

According to the song,Henry said,
"Are you Jane Seymour,Anne Boelyn or Catherine Parr
For how the sweet san faryan do I know who you are
with your head tucked underneath your arm"

Standard Life have cashed a few quid of their Royal Flushthe sp flew the 80s on the 3rd Augustnext trading day Standard took advantagesteady rise from now on please

RNS Number : 3352S Blinkx Plc 08 September 2010
| 3. Full name of person(s) subject to | Standard Life Investments Ltd | | the notification | | | obligation:

27,321,907 | 7,871,837 | 19,450,070 | 2.55% | 6.29%

Very wise move especially for a large holder who cannot pick and choose when
to dump size so to get a good % out at this level is very prudent even if it carries
on climbing.

Spoken like a true sceptic!

Chess.

Are you serious, imagine holding 27 million shares and then deciding you wanted to sell a good chunk and the share is unpopular, any blocks would destroy the price and create a huge overhang, in this case the share is popular and they have sold
a good % at the near highs and banked a great profit and dont little to damage
the shareprice, all very common sense if you ask me.

okey dokey

The electronic bot trades of around 100 are triggered around every 15 minutes.look at the last couple of hours11-27 = 95...11-42 =90...then 12-07 = 94.12-22 = 97...12-37 =99.12-52 = 96 1-07 =97 1-22 =105 1-37 = 102 then 2-01 =107...2-16 =135 next trade should be 2-31 = 13? Interesting?

i've banked a decent profit here (85.75) as it feels a bit stagnated, but i'll watch and wait

Cynic Annual General Meeting will take place on Friday 17 September 2010 at 9.00ama little bit of stagnation wont hurt until thenneed my breath back!.this is a nailed on Royal Flush my friend!MMs playing on the Standard sale

Standard sold 775,000 less than 3% of their holdingthey sold on a day where we had a sharp rise without newstook the 80s right out!!!cash in their book at a very good price equals good businessif they had any doubts at that kind of pricethe majority of the investment would have goneI would say a good sign imo.

I think you will find thay have sold @2.7%!

Well bookies could never count the same as the rest of us.

Oh dear, the pair of you have not read that correct.

Skinnyapologies.... Haystack...how come you stopped posting Quantcast numbers?

No need to post Quantcast stats at Blinks is so little used. I can't find anyone from any age that has even heard of them, let alone used Blinkx.

Maybe I'm missing something - it reads 28,096,907 before 27,321,907 after, net change -775,000 ?

Think you are right Skinny, i never even looked at the Rns today, just took it
for granted that Tabasco was right, i got similarly confused a while back with
Spmg and Lloyds have indirect and direct holdings, why cant they go back to
the old days and just say what they have done instead of all of us having to
read this pile of jargon they now call holdings rns's !

Skinnythats twice you caught me on that.bookmakers mark up!...hands up?
