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.

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.

LOL

This could close up today after hitting 75p... that would be a very strong intra-day reversal and with The Doctor and SCs much history in fcuking up mmsI would say this to be a very bullish sign.the shares have been equally distributed and the buying remains resilienta true Royal Flush fight backPeter is perverseand had to shorthe has been extremely lucky to catch the best AIM performing stock this year.but now is set for a bear snare
Gausiesorry to hear you done your very small nuts on my life changing stockthe wife is also very sorry for youlol.what was it in the end best of 85...and you take seminarsffsthey cant have very advanced students?...haystack?

to be fair, the chart shows exactly why sp tumbled - no rocket science required!

Cynicwhen are you going to realise a chart shows you what has happenedand not what is going to happen
The same can be said about Race formif the expected happens the favourite would win there would be no markets and no Bookmakers.fcuk charts!.fools gold!

because peter sold, i think, once sp had broken back through (down) 50 dma or similar - peter posted his logic - and sp was therefore more likely to continue down for a while; which it duly did

don't ask me about horses; they hold no interest for me

Cynicnot disputing the dropbut how many times have people predicted a fall in this stockand from 25p upwards[Gausie is currently best of 85 with me] a chart is like a fortune telleryou can make what you want from the infothe believers will make a casethe sceptics will do likewiselaw of averages says all parties have a shoutbut maybe not a winning one?

the reverse is similarly true ..... charts are just very useful (i think) guides and tools

CynicI like your wording that charts provide "a guide"as opposed to the chart shows exactly why sp tumbledwhich I think was an incorrect statement.no offence meant

why on earth would i take offense? .... i guess my previous wording was a bit clumsy or ambiguous, or put another way - with hindsight, it was obvious why it fell!

Cyniccharts are a pet hate of minechartists brag after success or make the chart read something else upon failure.bottom line nobody knows when a chart is going to stop going up or stop going down or sideways.after the event it always reads perfecthence your hindsight commentif I tossed a coin three heads on the trotit is still even money the head but probability is tailsboth arguments win?

that's why i usually mention "useful tool" or similar, though i too will pay attention if a stock breaks through what i think to be a key level with some momentum ....... insofar as they work at all, and of course they are fallible, charts can self-fulfil purely because so many people and even computer programmes follow them

I do take the point that many people and programs track chartsbut I prefer when trading to be fearful when others are greedyetc. same with racing...
