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.

lol, dream on

Somebody knows something sudden jump up 27% today

Cant be RM he still thinks newspapers are not dying

Yes.The volume of trade was nothing special,but the price spread was bigger than usual.

up again Monday? if heavy volume from the off then something's up.

Report on the front page of the Sunday Times Business today where Warner Video have dumped YouTube of broadcasting there music and video content.

Wouldn,t this be a coup for Blinx to get there business or perhaps Warner fancy going it alone by buying Blinx,fits in exactly where Warner Bros wants to be by sharing advertising revenue ?

Could be the reason for the sp hike

Something may well be going on,Quite a lot of buying interest first thing today,despite a bid offer spread of nearly 20%!

Now up 50% sinve Friday.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 29 /PRNewswire/ --

"Blinkx, the world's largest video search engine, today introduced the
Un-roll Unit, an entirely new and immersive branding experience that gives
advertisers the unique opportunity to tell a compelling story through their
brand and online television, and enables users to engage with a brand
continuously throughout a video. In addition, MediaCom and Shell Oil are
among the first agencies and brands, respectively, to deploy the new ad
format."

Showing UP 60% at the close, end of year in the states (MSN) , news tomorrow or glitch?

if BLNX = BLNKX in NY, then price over there is meaningless as it is an OTC stock with an average daily volume of only 7,700 and yesterday was just 10,000 .... more interesting is that MIVA is quoted at $0.18 against a supposed BLNX bid of $0.55 (i think)

plenty of positive press write ups for the unroll product.

lets hope they can sew up the miva deal to push the business through it, it would massively increase the miva related income and transform it over night IMHO.

Interesting developments..... ????

"Video search engine blinkx is to partner online UK movie site MyMovies.Net.

More than 3000 of the company's premium film-related clips are now more easily accessible than ever before, courtesy of blinkx.

MyMovies.Net aims to provide the UK film industry with the widest consumer audience possible by creating, producing, and syndicating movie-related content for everyone, from the casual moviegoer to the seasoned cinema guru.

Content now available at blinkx includes MyMovies.Net's list of behind the scenes features, exclusive interviews with the stars, as well as a whole host of UK and world exclusive premiere reports. "

Google scrapping their own Google Video must make blnx an obvious choice to step in and licence their search tech/ monetize the videos better.

chunky buying going on the last few days!!!

article in NY Times states youtube and its video search is now becoming the entry point for search on the web rather than google.
