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.

How's your bot, Tabster? Firm and peachy or soft and flabby?

Hilarytwo hundred sit-upstwo hundred press-up every day seven days a weektheres little room for improvementlol ..(_E=mc2_)

I'm surprised you still have to time to ski off-piste and play snooker with all that exercise, Tabster.

HilaryI have to say..what a man!

Mp, apologies if you were referring to profit taking as opposed to a MM treeshake, to be honest I'm not really sure what you meant in the clear light of day!

Hilary... and a (_$_) to boot.....fcuk me Peter has just apologisedthere is hope in Britain!

What a waste of sells by these poor little boyshundreds and hundredslolit must be depressing when you keep selling and nothing happens.I think the mms need another software application this ones not working.it certainly makes me pee me pantspure Fragonard liquid you understand!

I meant lots of small sells put on to drive the sp down then people try to lock in profits and the sp tumbles---bear attack is a good description. Then a strong bounce back--it is pure market manipulation! Look at RKH a couple of weeks back. I know buyers and sellers have to make a market it's the extremes I'm suspicious of probably because when I tried Sbetting I was a disaster at it! I'm old fashioned and prefer buy and hold!

I also read if a big buyer wants in at a set price the mms can sell blocks of shares in say 200 at a time every few minutes and drive the sp down until the buy price is reached--then up it goes again! Happy to have my suspicions rubbished!

Moneythis pattern follows a Bear attackit has happened on at least three occasionsthe good news is there has always been a sharp rise that increases on each attack.yipeeeeeee>
Sell bots Our robot ('bot' for short) were designed to average a large sale out over the course of a day butmuch like all city tools are used more frequently to influence a price in a certain direction by constant tapping of the book and undermining buying enthusiasmbut it dont fcuking work with BLNX!!! lol

Whats with the Merc advert shrinking the text box?...just changed to Halifax...this is fun......

tabasco,

press F5 and the text box should return to normal

Thanks Ian...must have been me?

nope it was a change at this end, but the F5 cleared the cache at your end,

Ian

Shouldn't it be CTRL-F5 to clear the cache. F5 just refreshes the page.

Haystack,

makes no difference to clear this problem, either or will suffice in this situation

Ian

Haystackffs Ian has rectified the problemIan.what button do I press to get shot of Haystack?

Mp. There was and is no bear attack on Blnx, nor Market manipulation. Whlist I do not deny MMs can move a SEAQ stock if they so choose, Blnx is a SetsMM stock and not so prone to MM control. I believe this stock is overbought and both shorters and profit takers have moved in, simple Market forces. Oh, and please do not quote buy/sell ratios , anyone with a DMA account can sell at the offer and buy at the bid through the book, a simple fact which seems to escape the average investor with little knowledge of the markets.

pth--thanks for your reply. Not many small investors have a DMA account and I merely think that with a bit of bot selling an avalanche of sells can build up as shorters/profit takers jump on board. so we basically agree and chartists would also agree. It's the sharp falls which reverse often in under an hour which I find suspicious. I bow to your greater knowledge and accept I'm wrong. I feel buy and hold suits me best, I'd need a training course to take on short term trading.
