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.

cynic - banked a bit by selling @ 72 ish and part covering below 69 for a while now.

Gausie,
I'm sure that Cynic is keen as hell to know that!

He asked.

exactly so ... thank you and glad to hear you're not being daft about leaving everything just running

Interesting to see this rise on such low volume, a couple of days after a heavy volume rally during the auction. A cynical man might suspect the combination of imminent RNS with a garrulous insider or two.

Getting close to my sell target - looking forward to the next step of those traders who are buying the rumour ....

Gausiethe other alternative isI am luckier than youlol.

That was a long dayHilary/GausieI get it nowall the clues were there?you are married to each other
Gausie tells Hilary to go back to bedI have heard Gausie talking about putting anaesthetic on the outside of his condomso he can have sex when his wifes asleep without her knowing plus she dont have to look at himHilary says she dont do lovewho could love Gausie?even his mum struggles after writing each chequeand they both have the same kamikaze betting systemslol Is JKD your Dad?that would certainly fit
All in alla marriage made in AManyway Hilaryhope you didnt lose a lotI did tell you almost to the minute of this playand I am never wrongand more to comeI am a very very lucky thicko.

Yes. Blinkx recent performance could be described as 'limp' at best. Back below 12p soon enoughspot on again Gausie

hilary- 01 Dec 2010 15:57 - 3334 of 3363
Wake me up when it's over, Tabster, I'm getting bored waiting...wakey wakey

Gausie- 02 Dec 2010 09:16 - 3349 of 3363
Hils - go back to bed. no wakey wakey

Can you spot the connection?

As previously posted I don't have an interest in BLNX either way, but always looking for an opportunity short or long. I view today's strength entirely suspicious based on the tiny volume but I wouldn't be overly surprised to see a further rise tomorrow. Depending on SP performance, another short entry may be in sight in the region of 85p. Anything much above that and I'd consider going long, but not before 100p is breached.

Peteryou are catching onand not long before you are aboardspeaking of breachwas Gausie a breech birth?he seems to look at charts upside down?

Tabby - you seem to get awfully excited watching dead cats bounce.

This is the healthiest dead cat I have ever seenhe has gone from 12lb to 5st 8lb.growing into a mighty Lionand just a tad excitingHilary be very careful when he tells you to lie incould be costly the anaesthetic might not have worn off?

You may have been nearly right to the minute, Tabster, but you were out by nearly 24 hours. Shame. I know you're lucky, so better luck next time.

Oh, and you also said it was a bear squeeze. When have you ever seen a mighty lion squeeze a bear?

If the price goes back up towards my entry level, I'll start to cover my position but not on this silly level of volume. Otherwise, and seeing as it's just a bear squeeze like you say, I think I'll stay short if that's OK with you.

Beg to differ there Hilary.check the trades 30minutes after this post until the end of dayfollowing day + 10%simplesand just a bit of luck!

Gausieglad to see blnx is your only disagreement with my postand end of day will sort that one outoh it is the end of day? ...what World are you in?

a whole farthing - wowee!!

Actually in old money its 0.6d not a farthing.

Well,Cynic,when you have as many shares as Tabby,little things go a long way!

Quite true Chess...
CynicI just like pointing out how wrong Gausie consistently isanyway you look after the farthingsand the pennies will look after the Nickelsonce they have been sorted the centimes is a cake-walk for the lirasimples

You could, on the other hand, have looked after the pounds, and sold at 100, in which case your BLNX capital would have been worth a third more than it is now, or twice what it'll be worth quite soon.
