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.

the trouble with BLNX is that the company makes lots and lots of noise signifying nothing - or at least bugger all ..... this obfuscates (this week's word for Balerboy!) the fact that, from memory, the company has turned profitable as shown in the last results ..... i don't recollect when the next set is due, but one would hope that these make enjoyable reading with some instant gratification from sp

i don't currently hold, but may dip my toe in once again, though i note that sp is trading within the very tight 25/50 dma band and has been for a little while with just short-lived blips above and below

Obfuscate. A very good word !. I had to check the dictionary for that one .

i used to run "word of the week" for Balerboy's benefit .... poor old soul comes from a penurious, deprived and under-educated family near WsM :-)

the blnx board is no doubt technically correct to make all these unfascinating announcements ..... they might have some value if the value to which blnx alludes was translated into potential profit - who cares about t/o? ..... of course a forecast of actual profit would be of true value, assuming that profit is indeed realised rather than just being alluded to ..... if this was indeed the case, then the value of these frequent and uninteresting announcements could be properly evaluated instead of just taking up air space and contributing little verging on the less than nothing


....... rather like the intentional drivel i have composed above

The potential here has not gone away., a fact to which the above figures atest, despite the sp being in the doldrums . looks like time to get back in.

Going down. 12 month low 49.50.

Any reason for the sell-off today?
