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.

A reccommendation from one of the dailies would be just the tonic.

Introducing Cheep: Smart, Social Shopping

Cheep Helps You Find the Best Deals on the Web and Connects You to a Community
of Friends and Fellow Shoppers

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF.-October 26, 2010-Cheep, a smart, social shopping service
brought to you by blinkx, today announced the opening of its site to all
consumers in the United States, following a successful invitation-only beta
period.
Through a small browser add-on, Cheep recognizes when you're looking at a
specific product and helps you find the best deal, by showing you current,
accurate price comparisons from around the Web, as well as reviews and ratings,
unobtrusively and in real-time. We've indexed nearly 200 of the Web's biggest
and best retailers, including Amazon, BestBuy and Walmart, so everything-from
batteries to trampolines-is on there for your viewing, reviewing and shopping
pleasure.
When you join Cheep, you also become part of a community. Cheep lets you share
your shopping activity-where you browsed, what you bought, whether you liked it
and how much it cost-with other members. The Cheep site, www.getcheep.com, shows
a real-time stream of shopping activity-as you peruse and purchase products
online, you can share that information with friends and like-minded shoppers in
the Cheep community, and, in turn, view and comment on their shopping.
"Cheep capitalizes on the two greatest strengths of the Web-the power to find
and compare vast amounts of information, and the ability to connect people-and
combines them to reinvent the online shopping experience," said Suranga
Chandratillake, founder and CEO, blinkx. "Cheep offers price comparison, which
is smart and efficient, and also community, because shopping is most fun when
it's social. The Internet really came alive for people when it stopped being
about connecting computers and started being about connecting people-Cheep does
both. Simply put, Cheep is a fun way to find out from your friends and others
what to buy, and where, for the right price."
Get Cheep
To get Cheep, go to www.getcheep.com, create your user profile and download the
browser add-on, which is currently available for Internet Explorer and Firefox
for Mac and PC. Then start shopping! Once you're signed up, you can also connect
and add friends through Facebook and Twitter.
See Cheep
Once you have the Cheep browser add-on, Cheep recognizes when you're looking at
a specific product and helps you find the best deal by showing you current,
accurate price comparisons from around the Web, as well as reviews and
ratings-unobtrusively and in real-time.
Cheep appears as a small bar at the top of your screen when you're looking at a
product page, and also embedded into product search results pages as a
highlighted link.
Be Cheep
Cheep is also a shopping community, built on the premise of sharing: if we all
share a little bit, then together we can gather a whole load of really awesome
information-from who's got the best deals on the Playstation 3, to where to go
for a really unique piece of jewelry.
If you choose to participate, Cheep makes it incredibly easy for you to share
your shopping. You can shop online as usual while the add-on shares your
browsing, purchases, likes and reviews with the community, and in turn, you can
interact with other members and comment on their activity. We also understand
that there might be some things you don't want to share, so we have simple,
clear privacy controls built right into Cheep that allow you to turn your
purchase broadcasts "on" or "off".
Cheep is a community for anyone who shops online, likes a good deal and enjoys
interacting with friends. Bargain-hunters, social networking fiends and product
experts will find themselves right at home on Cheep, along with consumers who
just want to make sure they're getting the best deal. The service is free to
join and open to all users in the United States. For more information, please

advanced video search engine, today announced the launch of blinkx Beat for
Google TV. blinkx Beat, blinkx's popular Web channel of viral videos, has been

Chandratillake, founder and CEO of blinkx. "It's an addictive channel of
snackable videos which offers an ideal sit-back and surf experience and we're
thrilled to make it available through Google TV."

Great news that will certainly move the SP forwardjust to hear Blinkx and Google in the same sentence is excitingnot so good for shorters who define themselves as a knowledgeable group of posters that are not bashers. But we know different!.the wife says best of luck with that knowledgeable bet Gausielol

I had a look at this Blinkx Beat.Quite good I thought.It is well worth a look see.It might even bring a smile,unless you are a shorter of course!

Can't say I'm into all this stuff to be honest--I'm a dinosaur! I've only just got the hang of keeping my phone on and texting--so no hope of using blinkx !! I'm still buying the shares though as the link with google and the word addictive--flash big profits to me. imo Suranga is giving strong hints and I'm looking forward to the results.

I know what you mean MP,can't say it is my cuppa,but the kids lap up this kind of thing.
as well as the noise that now passes for music!
