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.

Advertising revenue will start to show at some stage.

As boring as watching paint dry. A good one to buy your young children and cash in for their 21st birthday should have gone up by then.

Hears hoping, lol.

up by 50% in last 2 months,and seems to be developing some momentum
High time,but I reckon only the prospect of a profit will see a big rise.
Still at less than half its float price

Paints drying a bit quicker?

I once owned 10000 Autonomy and sold at 50p---and TLW around 30p! This time I'm hanging in there for at least 2 years! We won't see the revenues coming together just yet imo but this company is growing like topsy!!

Yahoo, Google, e-bay, myspace, facebook etc all started from humble beginnings, one things for certain tv content delivered properly and well will draw in advertising and from there you get your revenues. Blinx from what I can tell is doing the content thing a whole lot better than say bbc i-player/4od more 5 etc ie its not completely focused solely on 1 content supplier! interesting, especially if it becomes the defacto std like the others above about where to find tv content., then the bucks will really roll-in.

ellio if you read the research thread for blnx on AD.., you will see that it does a whole lot more than that. It beats google for the content of its video library --is about to launch trans-hoc shopping--which is expected to be enormous--also working on something for the i phone--expected soon. It's all too complicated for me but read it and you'll get as excited as I am about this co. I expect. Not one to make your fortune right away though--definitely an acorn!!

Thanks, as you say a few strings to their bow, but like most internet sites the succesfull ones are the ones you go to first/instinctively, if blnx can become this, well it'll do very well in deed.

Anybody in the know as to when the next results are due and the expectations.
Breaking 20 p looks a good sign for further upward movement

interim results for half year ended 30th september 2009 due early november, no hurry at the moment unless they issue a pre close statement.

AGM next Tuesday--it might produce something interesting. If it's news of the i phone link up or the shopping link--bring it on! If anyone wants to try it you can download from the blinkx site and if you want to buy something like a TV for example--this site will offer you the cheapest price for comparison as you try and purchase. Hopefully more and more people will download and use it.

BLNX finally looks as though it's blinking at the brightness of a blue sky:

BLNX up nearly 11% this morning!

Those who talk about drying paint do not appreciate the potential here.
I suggest that they might check out the website for themselves.

Last ten minutes of trading looks like it could be very interestingespecially with the agm tomorrowpossibly a 7-00am rns

chessplayer--it is still staying below the radar while building strength.We don't want a sneaky t/o earlydays. imo this one has massive potential circa qxl which I didn't hold onto unfortunately! blnx has tentacles winding everywhere the revenues will follow.
