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.

Good luck to Nico Hulkenberg in todays Brazilian Grand PrixI dont expect him to be leading after the first 100 yards.hopefully Alonso will run into the back of him but no injuriesVettel to blow his engineWebber to have a punctureNico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher to have close up pictures of the Autonomy logoJenson and Lewis 1st and 2nd .good luck to the British boys

tabby - mail update apart, the bits you post are already accounted for .... my own view is that google has no need of blinkx so would be an unlikely predator

CynicI did say Most of this exciting news has had little effect on the SP over the last couple of monthsthese deals will start to monetiseand some are very interesting
The market is coy with bullish talkSuranga talks the talk.but he also walks it .very rare these days and the market hasnt bought that yet! Some truly good partnerships adding to bottom line
Be prepared for a pleasant surprise Tuesday morningramp over..

Cynicbetter judges than us believe Google/Blnx to be a good fitI would not want a deal at this stagewe are moving at exceptional speedareeeeeeee the F1 soon to start.

Commenting on the interim results Suranga Chandratillake, founder and CEO of
blinkx, said: "The six months ending September 30, 2010 have been game-changing.
blinkx transitioned into profitability and generated cash as we more than
doubled revenue from the same period last year. Since our ipo, we have clearly
and consistently demonstrated the strength of blinkx's business model.

Our video search offering continues to draw an ever larger global audience,
through an ever increasing number of distribution points - video streams in the
US grew by 107% over the past year. We established the foundation to take
blinkx to mobile users on a variety of devices, and saw continued growth in
searches from desktop applications. At the same time, the unique value
proposition of our online video advertising platform, AdHoc, has attracted
larger budgets from a growing roster of brand advertisers with the average size
of video advertising deals up by 40% from the previous half."

Mr. Chandratillake continued: "With video advertising forecast to increase
almost 500% over the next four years, per IDC, reaching $11.3 billion by 2014,
blinkx is perfectly positioned to profit from the increasing dominance of online
media and the continued momentum towards ROI-driven advertising. Given this
strong industry backdrop and our market position, we remain confident of the
outlook."
