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 just though I would remind you of one of your posts on this thread. I particularly liked the bit where you said "and usually, he is proven correct"

LOL

FWIW Tabasco, I have no doubt at all Haystack is not a paid deramper (if such a beast exists). Albeit, he does have a history of bashing certain stocks, usually of the high-tech variety, and usually, he is proven correct. Although it is somewhat annoying, there is no ulterior motive except to voice an opinion. As we both know, there is little value in creating a personal vendetta. Sit back and enjoy your profitable investment, just don't forget to take profits somewhere along the line :) "

this is a fantastic day here - getting better - what a great end to the week :-)))))))

Blinkx hits in the US up to end September this year.

And your point is what exactly?
The fact you bash certain stocks endlessly?
The fact I was sticking up for your boorish behaviour?
The fact you usually end up being proven right?
On this occasion you may eventually be proven correct, but in the meantime your failure has been of spectacular proportions.
Have a nice day :)

All of the above

LOL

.

Sorry, just pulling your leg Cynic.....reckon it will rebound but the chart needs to bottom out first....

ah - i never mind such things at all ..... i've done well out this one over the months/years and tho my present holding is at too high a price (137.75), i'ld be surprised if it doesn't come right long before i die

Oops. I hold it too. I am 50, I am going to survive by then!!
How old are you?

65

fantastic day here and gkp

try AFR too

Up some 14 points from the days lows, so the rebound may be on.

sp grossly overvalues this company bubble will burst!

If the global crises and the markets carry on as currently then Blinkx could be in for a big fall come Monday.

Hays, global markets seem to be enjoying something of a recovery. Whilst I'm not for one moment thinking there isn't more instability to come, any reason why you think Monday marks the end of the world?

No. Just a lot more of the same. Italy is next up and a bigger problem than Greece. Italy is the third largest economy in the Eurozone.

for Christ's sake Mr Parrot, go and bore the pants of everyone on the Gaza thread ..... and Peter, stop giving this idiot any oxygen

Yes, of course the only opinion on this thread has to be one of hype for Blinkx.

no, but you're persistently and consistently boring and tiresome
