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.

Where is the millionaire tabby has he gone to live in Barbados with his BLNX profits.

Diagonal Views own comments about itself.

Diagonal View makes entertaining video content that reaches mass audiences. We distribute it across the world's leading media platforms, such as YouTube, Yahoo! and MSN, where it is watched by more than 70 million viewers a month.

Our dedicated team combine their talent and experience to conceptualize, design, develop and deliver quality videos. We have access to over one and a half million hours of ITN archive footage, from which our talented editorial team creates over 160 new episodes per week.

We don't like to brag but we're already the world's biggest independent producer of digital video content and we're growing rapidly every month

I'm hoping this retracement in the price is going to present another buying opportunity soon.

Just what I was thinking.

As for Tabby, he seems to be taking a rest for the moment. He is doubtless trying to work out what to do with all that filthy lucre !!

I hope Tabby has not wasted his winnings on his Mrs.

Diagonal View only has about 5,000 videos. The announcement is just hype.

70 million viewers a month is not bad going methinks.

That figure is a bit superficial. How long has this number been at that level? How many repeat viewers? Having only 5,000 videos, a lot of which are old ITN news items won't keep them going. More likely they managed 70 million once and once only. The 70 million are spread across YouTube, Yahoo! and MSN. It won't necessarily contribute much to Blinkx. Blinkx announcements are always hyped to the sky. It is still a greatly over-valued company.

market clearly doesn't agree with you at all - don't try to piss against the wind ..... poor old gausie kept trying it at the beginning of the year and just got a soaking for his troubles
