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.

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.

Mp, no greater knowledge at this end of the keyboard, nor are you necessarily wrong! But you always find posters moaning about treeshakes and such like when stocks reverse when generally it's simple Market dynamics.

PTH,

With setsMM you've generally got no idea who's REALLY on the bid and offer. A market maker can both advertise his price and at the same time be working an order and controlling the price under a veil of secrecy.

One of the concepts of setsMM was that it gave greater market transparency to retail punters. In reality, it simply enables the market makers to conceal their true mission. Under SEAQ it's quite easy to identify who's controlling the price, and that's not so under setsMM.

Hils, I'm aware MMs can also trade as you succinctly explain, but that isn't to say that they do so all the time. My point is punters always find it easy to blame the MMs when a stock tumbles, whch clearly is not always the case.

Hilary.perhaps Peter is a gynaecologist in his spare time?he seems to enjoy rubbing people up the wrong way?

Peter.your spin is in line with your trade

Very sharp, Tabster.
