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 can be very demoralising to see them go up when you sell. Worse still when you buy back and see them go back down !

Hays - i don't doubt your figure, but i guess that is either historic or based on old info ..... to what does p/e fall on the new data?

Cynic, the figures on the Money AM site suggest a market cap of £236 million. $15 million should work out at a PE somewhere about 23.

I reckon Haystack must have lost his abacus somewhere along the line.

chess current sp makes market cap £320m their numbers are in US$'S please recalculate.

I was thinking $15 Million at $1.50 to be £10. million into £236 =23.6
However, £320 would make it about 32.

if there is any forward guidance forthcoming, i'ld expect even that p/e to drop quite significantly

i cant buy this
not sure why as everything seems so good it seems to be too good to be true so i really should.but i shan't.
cant explain. i just cant put my finger on it . something seems not to be quite
right at the moment, might be later. but not at moment, for me that is.
as an existing holder,which i am not, i may take a different view
just my opinion
please all dyor
and good luck to all holders
regards
jkd

Unbelievable postings imo above - just take a look at the rate of growth - look at the market they're in - look at the multiples such companies normally tade at - imagine the price were ths US listed

ie it is imo very very cheap at this price - not ludicrously expensive as the above postings imply !

Joe…old JKD is not that keen on tabasco being correct…come to that..he is not that keen on tabasco at all….when my holding hit that extra magical digit yesterday…the mistral had to start blowing…take no notice.........He probably thinks Blnkx sell eye drops?

As for Haystack with his abacus…. is there any wonder he singlehandedly closed the tote…the guy is a fruitcake?

tabby - only start crowing when sp truly starts motoring for otherwise there is danger of another crower depositing large quantities of egg and worse on your face :-)

you will no doubt recollect that you suffered that indignity when sp collapsed from about 150 to about 60 say 18 months ago .... rationalise about that all you like

Cynic…almost 80% of my holding…my core holding is in for 12p….i suffered zero indignity….MM's missed the boat?

This will almost certainly be many multiples of today’s price…and you wont have long to wait….I have hammered two stocks over the last three years…this beauty is head and shoulders above those two…stick with Tabasco…you know he knows best…he is a very lucky boy…

OK….before you say MDX….longgggggggggg gone and long forgotten….i needed thjat one to be honest!!....Gold gets heavy if you carry it to long?

sorry tabby, but shares are not for sticking in the drawer and forgetting about ..... rationalising, as indeed i knew you would, is badly flawed ..... hindsight clearly shows that you should have sold (banked the profit on) at least part of your holding when the shares started misbehaving and perhaps re-bought later on

Cynic…I like you and have a lot of time for you….but your last post was so badly flawed…I wouldn’t know where to start..in giving advice…

MM’s almost brainwash the punter….you are correct with profit taking…but if you pick a goodun’ they are more than happy to give you 20%...i’m a bookmaker…I know

The reason they play around with a good stock is they don’t want you to hit em’ with 500/600% or more….you never will!!…and you will still punt your fair share of bad boys on your travels….

I’m covered! lol ….don’t take me wrong Cynic.. but all bookmakers would understand your last post...grin.. and offer you a free £100 bet if you opened an account…must go toodle pip…

cynic

What was that load of nonsense from Tabasco above. When you buy a stock you own it. It is not similar to a bet at all as far as MMs are concerned. Their profit was made when you bought the stock and when you sell it. There is no question of anyone hitting them for 600%. Your 600% comes from the market and the people who have been selling at a lower price as it rises. The whole concept of MMs playing around with stock is an illusion. The most they do is possibly move the price up and down to encourage selling and buying to keep the stock liquid. It makes no difference to an MM what price you trade at apart from where that price sits within current spread. You only have to look at the trades to see that the bulk of the trades for BLINX are done as matched bargains as automatic trades. The scope for MMs manipulating the price is therefore somewhat limited.

of course it's not; that is, i concur!
i have yet to meet anyone who went bankrupt by taking prudent profits - or cutting losses before they get out of hand
i tried in vain to teach my younger son the wisdom of that dictum, but he was determined and succeeded in handing back nearly all the very substantial profit he had in hand on BAO

pot and kettle I think cyners...... seem to remember you held on too to BAO

Cynic…let me put this to you…then you decide?..

The market makers are just high class Bookmakers…or they think they are….i know my place..

Unlike a Bookmaker that chalks a race up legitimately and works purely off a %....an overround…MM’s possess the tools to rig the race…on the very few instances they choose not to rig the race….they have a bent trainer in their pocket who tells them the winner half way through the race….they act on this…most punters lose!!!

On this understanding…do you think it wise to make several £100 bets each week on what you think are good things…or say one or two £20,000 bets a year or the real banker?….I know what type of punter Bookmakers like..and i know what type of punter you are..

Frankel was unbeaten in all his 14 races….he never looked to be given a race…his prices ranged in those races from 7/4 – 1/20….he beat Dubawi Gold at 1/2fav … that would have been a quick 10K …even the 1/20 against Farhh would have been the easiest grand you would have ever made…

Man Utd. deep into the season at 1/4 was a gimme…I actually bet and lay the same selection on many occasions…. lol

No Cynic….you show me a punter that makes many bets each week..and that vows always to take a profit…and I will show you a loser that walks around kidding himself…Baler…exactly!

Finally….let us say a few words about Haystack….he just about gets everything wrong…posts on many BB’s with various nome de plums…tells a pack of lies on any given subject…and is just about the thickest pensioner ever to pen on these threads…just for the record he posted on every BB…BLNX were only worth 3p….check his last figures on here for factual info…..lol…a bin case of the very highest order!!!

Morning tabby how you keeping ?

BB - but baled out long ago and at an overall profit (i think)

Tabby - i never bet on horses or even buy lottery tickets ..... as for casinos (other than the stock market), i haven't been in one for 30 years or more ..... i know the definition of a poor bookie is one who is down to his last rolls royce

Dil…I am very well and refusing to grow up as usual….congratulations on your Cardiff…I know it means a lot….the passion needed rewarding…

Cynic…ffs.. a bet is a bet…a punt is a punt….horse racing…stock picking…sports betting…and you like the everyday buzz….

Do you call an alcoholic a different name if he/she gets continually smashed on alcopops? Or are you safe because a proper alcoholic takes two bottles of Vdka a day…lol
