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.

Are you joking? rdg tends to get bullied?

Cyniche was wrong about your trading of blnx.I believe he thought you were Gausieand he is wrong not to apologise

Haystackyou are an annoying little shitbut I guess that is your job?

Thank you. An insult from you is worth a dozen complimants from more sensible posters.

Haystacksince when have you had a compliment from anyone?please advise

I treat your insults as compliments. That's more than enough for anyone.

Haystackthanks!I take your posts as bullshit!

You may take my posts any way that you wish. That is the beauty of personal freedom.

rdg is strangely quiet. Mind you when is does post, he is then strangely not quiet. 'Strange' being the key concept.

i see that Blink is slowly heading down to 3p.

You can usually tell the ignorant ones.
There credo seems to be, " Don't confuse me with the facts,my mind is made up!"

Well I want to know how Tabster gets to suck his spag bol "sophisticatedly". I'll bet he's got a fancy parmesan grater too.

gently Bentley (aka chess) or i may have to mention Mr H's views expressed on the gaza thread!

Do they do fancy parmesan graters in M&S?

Haystackdo you want directions to see for yourself?

Yes HilaryI do have a large utensilperforated to perfection

Mine's only a tiddler, Tabster.



About a tenner on eBay. It's fun to watch my kids turn the handle the wrong way and not understand why the cheese doesn't come out. And they're meant to be bright......

Interesting, Hils. Round the back of M&S, Mrs Tabster frequently demonstrates her in-depth expertise on how best to turn the handle so the cheese comes out.

We can always count on you to lower the tone of the uplifting conversations here.
