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.

chess--SKR is sunkar resources a hot stock at the moment--possible multi bagger!

no possible about it.

I've been in shares 20+ years now and it is the most undervalued share I've ever come across.

In heavily at 7.5p and still adding.

Final Results

down 10.5% this morning, looks like news not helping

Net loss, no sign of a profit any time soon, cash reducing rapidly.

IMHO I think it is a good Company with good product but I do not see it flying up any time soon maybe 2011/2012

Lack of profit is a big worry in difficult times.

Sub 12 soon IMHO

Still only trading at 1/3 of its' float price of 45p. It seems only the prospect of a profit will do the trick.

I think you are right chessplayer and this gives me the opp to keep adding to my modest holding as and when. I am unusually for me prepared to wait for those revenues to build nicely as they expand the business. I'm no techie but it seems to me that like Autonomy which was again ignored for quite some time---and I sold at 60p grr!---blinkx is a facilitator for some massive companies like google microsoft bbc itv etc and while they are in the spotlight we are ignored but Warren B says buy the picks and shovels company---so that's what I'm doing imo the returns will be well worth but only when the profits wake everyone up and that should be next year according to the ceo. roll on the AU. like share price!!!

last 6 months have shown a nice uptrend.If the market is steady ,I would not be surprised to see the earlier year highs of 22 to be surpassed.

chessplayer - you're mistaken

6 months ago SP was a fraction under 14p - today its a fraction over. Yes an uptrend (on a techicality), but hardly "a nice uptrend"


FWIW am very concerned with the inability of our CEO to expolit the product (aka monetisation) - I'd ask you if you are not fed up with reading about RNS's for partnerships with Bob the builder (if only - its actually a US homebuilder site) or gardengirl TV etc

Are these really worthy of RNS's (remembering that they are primarily required for significant, material company changing events/agreements etc) ?

To me it shows how little the company has to shout about.

confess i got bored with this stock and sold oiut 7/10 days ago, though have kept on my watch list for when even watching paint dry gets too dull

lol, I'm even losing interest in checking their sp.

good job my only holding of this is in my SIPP.

sc should walk imho.

Agreed - but I don't think he's the type to go of his own accord.

Don't know if you've checked his shareholding in the company (an effective expression of faith in his abilities)

Its NIL
