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.

Although Blinkx have requested that their top level figures are not shown, the quantcast figures for sub domains is available.

I'm sure that we can rely on Haystack to provide an alternative slant to your numbers ,tabby,but that is only to be expected if you call a spade a fork!
The moral therefore is,if you call a spade a spade then it avoids a great deal of confusion?!?!

BLNX have proved themselves to be doers not talkershitting every deadline and target ever givenyou could not fault their guidancewith constantly achieved scheduled and analyst expectations.
so when Suranga said Cheep is launched in closed beta and is expected to be released to the public in the in the second half of 2010...you can assume this will happen
A poster on LSE suggested You have to ask why Blinkx would host dinner for journalists? Launch of Cheep is imminent imo!
I have to agreeBLNX just hosted a Dinner for journalist? Not really their stylebuilding under the radar is more their thingthen hit the market with a gem
Suranga also stated in Mayour second half was nothing short of transformational and "This powerful groundswell towards online video underscores the strength and vitality of our business model."BLNX have proven to be honest and reliable in all their guidancehence the very strong SP trading and City interestthis story has only just begun imo.....

jkd, just for you :-)

Rationale for my recent short:

The two arrows on the MACD illustrate a double top which coincided with the RSI weakening and running into a longer term resistance line. I waited for the almost inevitable retreat from 100p and shorted at 97p. Position was closed for +15 pts.

Just for fun, I've drawn a couple of arrows which illustrates my opinion of the immediate SP performance. Obviously for fun only, but if it does make a lower high, may well initiate another short position.

Petershort BLNX and your 3,000 will be gone in the blink of an eyethis is going to go ballistic in the next two months imoremember I am never wrongthe price is going to look cheapand CHEEP is going to make the pricethe Royal Flush is about to be played!

Chart posted today



Ok, I didn't quite get the going up bit right

so peter, on your reckoning, sp should bounce from here, or have i read it wrong - only used to page 3 in the Sun

Warning - EDIT (Just had another look at the chart and have changed my stance)

Bull Points:

1. SP staged a small intra-day recovery off the longer term support line, coincidental with the 50MA.
2. MACD MAs remained above the centreline, but will probably dip slightly below even on a quick recovery.
3. Plenty of head room before MACD or RSI hit resistance lines.

Bear Points:

1. Today's candle was quite emphatic
2. MACD close to crossing the centeline
3. RSI crossed below the centreline.
4. Plenty of room to make lower lows on the indicators.
5. Retracement thus far is only 25%, which for Fib lovers isn't a recognised retracement level.
6. Today's closing SP represents a lower low, following a lower high.

The last point is the most crucial, lower lows, lower highs are significant and although I wouldn't open a position in either direction from here, all in all I think it's more short than long. I guess the trendline might hold, but if it doesn't 50p look possible.

Peterlike all chartslike all form.you can make it read what you wanthence the traders change of mind every blink of an eye.no stock goes up in a straight line.but this will generally keep going upwards for a long time yeta Royal Flush dont get beatthere are a number of 24/7 guys on adv.. that pedal to the metal in driving this downwhat happened? The best they can achieve is a stalleven the best deramper cant beat this stock.and on a plus side I have made serious money trading over my max. holdingbuying at 75p aint easy when you tanked up at 12pand not in my comfort zone.but being greedy when others are fearful is a logic I like

Taking the long view isn't always easy, but there has been nothing yet to suggest that Blinkx is slowing down.
It is in fact still gathering speed,as the continuing flow of partnerships show.

SP perched exactly on the uptrend after today's rather large intra-day reversal (although not unusual for BLNX in either directon). Ideally for the bulls this is where it needs to bounce.

FWIW, the 33% Fib retracement level is 72p (100-15=85*33%=28p) Nice bit of gobbledegook.

results end of November! Suranga presenting in the city next week and usually likes to surprise the markets--could be launch of cheep. I hope the results blow the sp out of the water!!

powerful momentum underscores the vitality of our business model. Over the last
six months, blinkx has continued to experience strong user demand, with ever
increasing numbers of searches placing blinkx.com in the Quantcast.com Top 100
sites. We also continue to exploit new applications and platforms that

given our market position remain confident of the outlook."

Highlights:
- Premium content partnerships announced during the half include deals with
the BBC, AccuWeather and Internet Video Archive

launch of m.blinkx.com and distribution deals with Evri, Mobica, and Samsung
