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.

That sounds like a pretty fair plan. After all, as an old wag once said to me, there is not much satisfaction to be had in being the richest man in the graveyard !
Myself, I can't say that I have set any targets as yet. I think that the forthcoming results should help to give a bit of guidance, or at least help to clarify the prospects.

when are results actually due?

Calendar.

last year final results were released on 19/5/10 not long to wait..... sell on the news?

18/5 per skinny's link ..... and yes, or at least some might be prudent ..... very difficult to determine fair value for this one

It's moving nicely now.

Do you think they'll be consudering a move to the main market soon?

Chess...the results will be even better than predicted...Suranga and The Doctor always play it that way as you know...they have never once missed a target or disappointed...A big day to come in May!

Cynic... it is a job to put fair value on a Royal Flush...certainly depends on how many mugs want to keep taking you on!

I will keep letting half ride until they become a ftse 100 stock...you cant trump a Royal Flush!

but you can flush a royal doulton!
bought some more yesterday + another couple of dips in the pot today

From Today's Investor Intelligence - prophetic ?

Blinkx - The 50% rally from 80p remains in force. And following a shallow consolidation, chances of another leg up are high. 135p-140p is attainable, as long as prices stay above 115p.

volume is now nearly 6m vs norm of just under 2m and sp has gone bonkers .... but no news; just checked via IG

cynic are you ready for profit taking?

I have. Sadly somewhat too soon! Still, a profit is a profit, to state the very obvious!!

yes friend hali but happy to stay put for now

One to hold on to.
Quick profits take you out of the game.
May be worth following the chart and buying again.

and the buyers keep nibbling and pushing the price upwards .... so very difficult to determine where fair value lies (not wishful thinking!) when sp has rocketed into new high territory ...... there is an argument to bank partial profits, but equally a wise investment dictum which says that you run profits

Seems to be rocketing today!

Here comes 1-50p

Tabby you are the man. Fully supported from it's very lows by you despite all the flack you got. I admire a guy like yourself who has the conviction and gut instinct.

Now can I borrow a few quid from your winnings. Good on you, respect.

I am removing ALL my research from here due to the constant personal abuse, defamation and distortions of it posted by:

This bunch of abusive retards is the reason MoneyAM will NEVER have a forum worth reading.

I have reported them to support by they do nothing, either because they want to force me to PAY them for the Traders Room or because they are too lazy to do anything. Maybe the people in support are the ones perpetrating the abuse, so as to force people to pay for the premium boards. Either way the service is sh1te and a disgrace to the finance industry. No wonder there is nobody left here apart from morons.

I will continue posting my good research on boards that are run in accordance with FSA and LSE listing rules and the interests of the market, not here where ar5eh0les rule the boards and all decent research is buried under their piles of sh1te.

You need medical help man.
