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.

A bit of volume behind today's rise - you may even be right!

Open Beta Launch

blinkx Unveils Next Generation Video Search and Discovery Site

Elegant New Design and Functionality Delivers Personalized User Experience and Simple Sharing for Mobile and Desktop Viewers

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. - September 18, 2012- blinkx (LSE AIM: BLNX), the world's largest and most advanced video search engine, today unveiled an open beta of the next generation of its flagship product, blinkx.com. The new site has been designed to enhance the video discovery and viewing experience for audiences, with powerful personalization and recommendation capabilities, and simple integration across users' social graph. It was built from the ground up for use on mobile devices, with a simple, elegant user interface that is touch-optimized for easy navigation.

I'm not overly confident that 90p is any longer on the cards, in fact the recent performance tells me a return to 40p is probable. Got that wrong so no Ta-da for me!

Trading Update

The Company expects to report revenues for the first half of approximately $80m. Profit before tax, including one-time costs and amortization of purchased intangibles,will be around $2.4m, ahead of market expectations for the period.

Blinking good results! Onwards and upwards :)

Hi Toya, long time no hear

Hi Hlyeo, I'm still here... still blinking away :)

sp has certainly rocketed through 200 dma, so as far as i cxan see, next serious hurdles are at 70p and then 90p .... who knows? ..... used to follow these avidly, but got out many moons ago, almost certainly at a loss

The main thing is, that the prospects for online advertising, where Blinkx makes most of its money, still looks very good.

Has anybody heard from Tabby lately. Has he kicked the bucket , or perhaps sailed off into the sunset with all that filthy lucre!

I'll ask his wife next time I see her behind M&S.

Is that a bit like 'behind the bike sheds'?

She sure is 'smoking'!

blinkx unveils record first half figures
StockMarketWire.com
Video search engine blinkx unveils record first half results with revenues up 84% at $82.0m.

Adjusted profits from operations increased by 61% to $7.9m in the six months to the end of September while adjusted pre-tax profits rose to $8.4m - up from $5.0m.

The group's cash balance rose to $41.6m up from $38.4m on 31 March.

Chief executive S. Brian Mukherjee said: "This has been an exceptional first half for blinkx.

"The business demonstrated strong underlying growth, which was accelerated by the ahead-of-schedule integration of Burst and PVMG. The progress of this integration enabled us to serve a greater number of high value ads to a wider audience at robust monetization rates.

"During the period, we also benefited from increased advertising spend allocated to specific events - the summer Olympics and the US presidential elections.

"These one-time events provided us with a better-than-expected boost to revenues during the traditionally slower summer months."
