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.

The 600k trade looks like a late reported SELL. The spread was much higher just a small time earlier. In fact the traded price was even less than the bid was 27 minutes earlier.

Haystack - only a sell? Are you suggesting that nobody bought it?

LOL

Don't get me started.

Why? Are you suggesting that no one sold it?

I think the point is that it was a large trade that was probably executed a a price nearer to the bid or even under it, so someone was prepared to take a low price for such a large trade.

Cynicyou are not terribly thickand dont nick my linesanyone that recognises, most (day) traders make large losses and rare gains! are in the groove

SNAFU - The only days with significant volume have been the down days.

Looking very weak today - maybe weak enough to break 68p. Next stop is a long long way down. Not sure whether 55p might provide weak support - otherwise the next realistic support is 40p.

Thick as an LBC....

Tabs - your wife said exactly the same.

Gausiethe only realistic support you haveis your junior jockstrapand thats untested

Tabby - it's blinkx needs the support - not me.
Support Group

Another down day on heavy volume.

closed barely down, though must be said, after considerably lower

Cynic - almost 2m shares traded in the closing auction.

with what implication, in your opinion (there could of course be a number of resons)?

we'll have to wait see - but auction activity is largely institutional and pro/semi-pro traders - obviously matched buyers and sellers, but brought the price up 2p between 4.30 and 4.35pm, so a bigger appetite out there to buy at a premium than to sell at a discount.

I sold a few.
