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.

Yes, it's disappointing. Never mind, not in any hurry to cash in here

oops...

All red and then 2 big blue hits late on and tomorrow could be very different

*Pats self on back*



For what ?

Told you they were a pile of sh*te at 67p on 21/11/12 ... fallen to 56p since.

Sod the pat on the back how about a 21 gun salute , OBE for services to "investors" and a fly past by the Red Arrows for the near 20% fall in 3 weeks ???

jeff ... glad I not as lucky as tabby :)

Dil …I offered you an opportunity in working with me that would have made your life sweeter and easier than it already is…working from home with minimum contact…

You probably don’t remember?…anyway…you are right…even though you said it in Chinese…you will never be as lucky as me…keep an eye on this stock Dil…I will have something to tell you about it very shortly…be lucky….toodle pip!

Nope can't remember that tabby and I do have an excellent memory.

You had plenty to tell me about BPRG/MDX but it still went tits up , don't call that being lucky.

I will admit though that I don't consider these to be in the same basket case league as MDX so good luck to you.

Dil …you really do need to think harder….as far as MDX goes…it cost me £40k all told…I was let down badly by someone else that was also stung…there was far grater corruption than even you can imagine…but we move on………I have had a little piece of luck with this company…BVIC has also been kind…SER…now there was a bit of luck from that piece of shit…BGO has been steady. lol

Anyway back to the star of the show…BLNX in a very short period of time has gone from zero to an estimated $160m this financial year…outperforming it’s sector by a mile in a twelve furlong race… highly cash generative with no debt… $40m in the bank and a partner list from the premier league…now look what has happened to the rest of the World in this same period…lol you must have good shite in Wales

If you want to write shite why not write shite? but never mind, a nice little 10% bounce in 2 days is very satisfying.

Been in and out of these so many times, a great little trading share with plenty of upside potential. Maybe some people just don't get technology in the 21st century!

Harry - i think the difficulty with BLNX is that, apart from the Autonomy overhang casting a long shadow, no one can quite work out where the company is going ...... funnily enough, one of the problems is that it puts out almost too much news, none of which seems to do much for the bottom line, notwithstanding that the company now seems to be profitable

Give it a rest Cynic…....AU. and the BLNX business model are not connected in any way shape or form …Wasn’t it those twats over the pond that invented Mark-to-market accounting...

Enron incorporated mark-to-market accounting for their energy trading business I seem to remember…lol need I say more!…The Doctor has made repeated reference to IFRS…Meg has dug herself a nice big hole…will she jump into it or?…

HP….had a hardware vs. software dilemma…the shrewdies that said software….. were booted out under a coup de tat. Meg led the fight….she was wrong….you can fill in your own ending….but it wont affect BLNX!

Harry…Dil says shite…I say shit?

I'm going long...but don't go by me as my record for spreads is not good....

RF…it is about to improve!

Almost right tabby should be ..... " Dil says shite I talk shit ".

At 2 o’clock in the morning Dil….I think we all know who is talking shite!

The very reason I swerved you!

tabby - i was posting about market perception, and what i wrote is exactly as i see it

Big news....35M to 50M+

Dailymotion closes partnership with blinkx as it looks back at 2012 and prepares 2013

The video search engine blinkx is joining Dailymotion Publisher Network (DPN), French video portal Dailymotion announced today while unveiling interesting figures about its viewership.

As you may remember, Dailymotion launched its content syndication platform in early 2012. Since then, more than 1,500 publishers have joined DPN, including Orange, MSN and Yahoo (see our previous story).

In practical terms, DPN lets publishers use Dailymotion’s 30-million video library and easily monetize them by receiving a share of Dailymotion’s ad revenues. This concept naturally appealed to blinkx, its CEO S. Brian Mukherjee explains: “The Dailymotion Publisher Network gives us a huge library of content to tap in to, with built-in monetization opportunities and functionality.”

According to Dailymotion’s SVP for International Development, Luc Dumont, it brings benefits for both parties:

“Our Publisher Network offers a tangible incentive for Publishers like blinkx to give incremental visibility to the Dailymotion player across their digital network: it means more content, more time spent and now more monetization for them.”

Dailymotion’s growth in numbers

When we first reported on DPN last July, it only boasted 500 publishing partners, a number that has now tripled over the last few months. In addition, its employee count in the US has doubled this year – it currently has over 120 employees in France and 40 on the other side of the pond.

Overall, Dailymotion currently boasts 116 million unique monthly visitors worldwide, which makes it the Internet’s 31st largest site according to Comscore. Dailymotion summarized some of this data in an infographic which you can see in full here.

While Dailymotion is the second largest video portal after YouTube, it hopes to differentiate from Google’s offering by focusing on quality, and points out that it now has over 10,000 premium content partners, including HBO, Showtime, Netflix, Hulu, FOX Sports and NBC. Since YouTube has also developed premium channels, its competitor also insists on its own original content program, Motionmakers, which has around 50,000 members.
From online to offline: Dailymotion Studios

To keep on boosting unique programming, Dailymotion has announced original plans for 2013: the opening of Dailymotion Studios in Paris and New York. ‘Studios’ isn’t a metaphor, and what the company is planning to open are real-life facilities “available to any amateur or professional videographer to access equipment, production space and editing technology to create and premiere original content on the site.”

According to Giuseppe Demartino, SVP Corporate Communications for Dailymotion HQ, this project represents a new step for the company:

“Our partners – advertisers and content owners – will now have access to the best of technology and video tools to create and give shape to their very own projects. Our goal is to help them individually and provide them with advice from video platform professionals; a new way to differentiate ourselves from our competitors.”

While there is still a long way to go for Dailymotion to become its market’s leader, it is interesting to see how it decided to challenge YouTube by focusing on quality, while bringing benefits to its partners.
