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.

I like this bit....

"blinkx app will allow our users to easily discover and watch premium videos from the comfort of their own living room."

Sounds like a few more quid...

Helo Tabby. How are you today.
I like the sound of this one as well.

ChessI am good..cheers.I agree this is more important partnership newsSuranger..who normally plays his cards close to the chest has been openly bullish this last couple of monthsthat hints to me things are even better than this run of good news suggeststhis is most definitely a Royal Flush that I am so confident about

It was interesting to see Boxees Andrew Kippen say..were thrilled to offer blinkx on our platformwith laid back Suranger commenting..Our massive index of online video, perfectly compliments Boxees existing entertainment options and will further allow Boxee users to find, discover and enjoy the best that Internet video has to offer
The confidence of our guy is there for all to see!

agreed - and topped up this morning on both the above logic plus a posting on the other board where someone saw Blinkx being advertised b4 a concert - seems all the parts are coming together with the company starting a process of getting their name into the public domain

i am quite heavily into these, but getting excited now is premature

Yes, the market reaction has not been overly euphoric.!

CynicI am almost x7 on these for a good lumpexcited?...i have been in sex mode for the last nine months

almost x6?

Who is this guy Tabasco. Is he a BLNX ramper.

I suppose you might say that. Is there anything wrong in supporting a share that you think will do well ?

Nah - he's a nobody.

I think I know his Mrs.

Unfortunately, there are plenty of people about who appear to have lost what little sense they were born with.You sir seem to be one of them.

Does she work at M&S

tabby may talk a load of bollocks from time to time, or even quite regularly, but mock as you will, this share has done very well indeed over the last year or even the last 6 months and is promising much more ...... i don't pretend to understand the biz, but then i don't understand what my own son does in a similar but very much larger organisation .... from memory, the next batch of numbers is due in May, so following these, you can take the piss or eat your hat or crow pie as the occasion dictates ..... i suspect the hat with side of crow may be order of the day

Bernard M.no is the answer to thatI would suggest you do what you are average atgo stuff your Norfolk birdGausiehow is the face? Hope it looks better than the orange marmalade on a pumpkin lookyou really must care after your skin!

Good day today guys!

CynicI talk bollocks most of the timeit comes quite naturaland sounds even better in Frenchand of course Gausie aka elephant manhas been shorting this from 30p to all stations upwards of 80plol

You know Tabby, I think that Gausie is beginning to see the light. A Cocney might say, " Better LITE than never !"

I can't see any explanation for the rise today, now up 7.25

agreed, and volume is also pretty low
