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.

Gausie - only ever shorted BLNX the once, at 1 for a reasonable profit. Unfortunately they then fell off my radar, probably because Tabasco stopped ramping and you stopped winding him up. Therefore in conclusion I blame you for me not paying attention!

The one I really missed was PDX, SP of 7.50 with a turnover of 100k and losses of 10m? Now that was a no brainer, with a bit of hindsight of course :)

Dear Santa

Please bring me 30p for xmas.

Love and kisses

Gausie

if you're that hard up, give me an address and i'll send you same!

In auction +11.9%

And again +22.8%

.

I'm just an observer - but volume looks pretty good.

.

Down 100 points, recovery of some sort looks overdue

So, a 30% hike (15 points) is a decent start

currently a dangerous stock to play ...... it was again up a bit this morning but is now in negative territory

Yes ,quite, still some money to be made if you're not greedy

Blackrock > 11%

Blackrock < 11%

up & down like a barmaids elbow!

.

been away for a while.
where is t and his views on all of this? maybe he is doing a waiting game like G and waiting for better times to post, or maybe he is too busy posting over at asos thread.As for myself i am busy doing nothing with regards to the markets. just sitting tight. but now think it may be an opportune time to start getting re interested for longer term investments.everyone tells us things are going to get worse over the next 12 months.
regards to all
