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.

Thanks for worrying about me, Tabster, but there's no need. Really.

Every time Blinkx rallies up to its falling resistance line it sells off. If it breaks through that resistance, I'll have to think about how I can get out of my position. Otherwise, I'm happy that this dog's got fleas and I haven't seen anything in the price action to make me feel otherwise.

Easy, innit.

Thats the kind of guy I am?

Is that a question or a statement?

Thats my opinion Hilaryand as you knowI am very rarely wrong

We all know those crooked gang members that sell short are responsible for an unnatural price declinethey are a destructive force in the markets"Naked" short-selling is still rife and finally short-sellers spread lies about companies

Luckily there are ways shorts get burnt

In the most typical short squeeze.. market forces or favorable news drive up share prices If prices move up sharply.. shorts must immediately put up more collateral or return the shares.

Institutional shareholders mutual funds and pension funds who loan out shares to short-sellers can demand their return at any time When that happens the shorts must hand them over.

If shareholders move shares from margin to cash accounts.. shorts must return any shares borrowed from the margin account.

We have seen this with blnxthe shorts must return borrowed stock the shares must be bought on the open marketshort-sellers can sustain huge losses if prices have risenand they have!!and since their purchases drive up prices still furtherthey boost the pain of fellow short-sellerswhich is extremely pleasing Hilary doing it to Gausienicelet the BBQ continue

I can't say that you or I will be shedding any tears over that. Try buying is the best bet .Better late than never to get on board.

Tabby - you really do spout a lot of bullshit. And you may have failed to notice, but BLNX is down again today. And we'll have to see who gets the roasting on your BBQ - A black and blue angus steak will taste far better than singed bear.

Did you manage to pick up some MELVITA Essentials Face Care and just for men at AsdaJo told me

Anyway time will prove you wrong..

GausieJust in case you failed to notice?

One Month+13.00% six months+120.13% one year +429.69%

There's nothing wrong with a bit of naked short selling once in a while, Tabster, especially on a warm day.

If you do it with GausieI would get him to use a face packor youll have know where to look?

from what little i have read, i'ld guess BLNX is up of late on the back of a mooted bid for AU.

Tabby - why do you go on about facepacks? Who have you confused me with?

Cynic...http://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/article-1338958/MARKET-REPORT-Autonomy-score-deal.html#ixzz18FxsB8ut

I don't think that hype would have any influence

The Elephant Man?

Certainly a renewal of buying interest this afternoon

A very happy and loving Christmas to all and your family on AM and may your dreams defy the laws of gravity!

And a merry Christmas to you too, Figjam. What do you reckon on that Ruthie's Arrer last week?
