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.

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!

Yippeeeeeeeeeeee!you are some judge on this stock!..lol

Yep, Tabby that's me - tenacious to the last. Stop out immediately I'm proved wrong, hold onto and add to winners whenever I'm proved right. It pays off, you know.

This one's looking pretty now. Still showing a very small net loss on all BLINX positions to date - but looking better and better with each inevitable tick down.

What winners?

Well, this BLINX Short is a good example. Have now (on paper) recovered all previous losses and showing a small but growing profit overall.
