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.

ChessCynicI suggest you cut paste and file the ridiculous comments made by chicken feed traders that boast about a one in ten success rateand re-post in a couple of mouthsgive us a laugh!
Cynic I can see you have now chosen to do a substantial amount of research yourselfthis is a Royal Flush as you now knowthe shares are very tightly heldthe price movement on such low volume is something that cannot be hiddenI have neither lost or gained from day one on my maximum holdingthe paper looks good though! I have made good money and banked on the low volume dipsI dont like trading but this was an offer too good to refuse!
I am bored fighting the pretend tradersI will just post as this Royal Flush is laid down card by card.May 2011 to take the pot!

i have never done any research - not my idea of fun so i leave it to the drones .... however, as posted here, there was a good article in QL 2/3 months back and at least their numbers (p+l!) are beginning to look interesting ..... for all that, the company still has a long way to go, and Number2 Son who works in digital advertising reckons BLNX as just a bit player

Certainly one of those Marmite stocks (people either love them or hate them)
I see them however as a snowball gathering momentum fast.

And rolling in the same direction as a snowball too.

SHARES re iterate their BUY rsccomendation on Blinkx

Gausiebank issues REDUCE note.

Isaacsbank issues a SELL note on Gausiebank based on recent trading performance ;)

What does the IRISH bank have to say?

Gausie's piggybank!.has the 6% rise in the last two days got anything to do with it?.is the snowball now rolling up the Gorges du Verdonare the stakes getting too high?what a difference a day makes to a chicken feed traderlol

When did prices ever move in a straight line?

The move up from the spring was littered with retracements, so why should the move down be any different? It took about 5 months to move from its lows to its highs.

If the price comes back up to my entry price or moves above the resistance of the downtrend which looks to be forming, I'll get out. Otherwise, I'm happy with my dis-investment.

Always look on the bright side of life?AMs Life of Hilary

Eh, Brian?

Price action is very weak, and the technicals continue to point downwards. Looks like 75p will be a distant memory pretty soon.

68p had a fair bit of volume so might provide support. If it fails then 33p looks likely.

33p? That's being a bit bullish isn't it, G? Did you forget the decimal point and forget to type 3.3p?

Whatever, they're starting to look pretty stuffed now. Wonder if Tabster will continue to hold these until the wind-up merchants come knocking too?

Hilaryyou been on the wacky backy againwhen you go for the xmas drink on the 8thif you are anywhere near Wardour Street before showtime the wife, myself along with our friends would love to buy you a nice cupcake at the Hummingbird bakeryif you can manage to drag Gausie along she would get great pleasure in sticking a nice pink one on his noseif you know what I mean?

Well, that'll make a nice change. Turnaround, as they say, is fair play.

75p gone. where next?

ooh - If you're long, BLNX is gonna sting a bit in the morning.

Do Meldex make something that will take the pain away? Oh, wait a sec - Meldex don't make anything. They're long gone.

Gausiesimple questionif I am long blnx from 12phow is tomorrows price going to have any effect on mea simple questionfor a simple man?
A fair comment directed at a traderas they are normally potless/brainlessand only play in the small tote window

easy answer too ..... if you've held a large slab from 12p, then you should assuredly have banked some of those profits as at the moment you have "made" zero
