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.

no tabby .... if you back a horse or the roll of a die, you either win or you lose ..... stocks and shares are totally different

if you are a day trader, which i am not, then the rules are very different yet again, and as hilary has pointed out, very few have the knowledge, back-up support and, above all, the discipline to make this work consistently profitably ..... however, i certainly know one chap who is very successful indeed as a day trader

OK Cynic.....follow Haystacks....


Just to show some of you guys how honest and trustworthy our old pensioner Haystacks is…here are some of his post on other BB’s over the years…remember he just post this important info to help…he has no other interest…he tells us in the last post…

The point either way is that it is probably going down tomorrow big time. The question is how far.

�1 now very close. Once it breaches that it is clear air down to around 80p - check out the chart!

Target 3p.

Zipless - 24 Apr 2013 - 14:31:48 - 29760 of 29764
BLNX is on a P/E ratio of about 90. It is an overinflated bubble. Remember when it collapsed from 150p to 50p in a couple of days.

Zipless - 02 Aug 2011 - 10:29:09 - 27951 of 29764
Nothing has changed. As DDD only get pennies per unit in royalties, the boost just means the results won't be as terrible as usual.

Target price still 2.75p
Zipless - 05 Aug 2011 - 15:23:57 - 27978 of 29764
Nice fall today so far. Now below support at 26p.
DDD to hit 10 quid - DDD

Zipless - 04 May 2012 - 16:48:06 - 28812 of 29764
DDD - still doomed


Next stop 19p support level on the way to 2.75p

I don't short stocks.

Cheers tabby meant the world to me and every other Cardiff fan who have waited so long.

And all those predictions were correct.

Your system of prediction is that it is going up because it is going up. You were remarkably quiet when Blinx crashed. I guess you will disappear again when it takes a dive again, which it almost certainly will. This is still an overblown bubble.

Hays - you are perfectly entitled to your view, though i'm sure you don't marry money with mouth ..... for myself, i am more of the camp that thinks this company may well have something going for it, though the market is currently unconvinced

Haysack…..” And all those predictions were correct.” lol

Yes..for you all those predictions were correct….DDD 2.75p BLNX 3p….age has not treated you well?... BLNX has no financial risk.. as the capital structure does not rely on leverage. Reassess your 3p on the facts below….toodle pip

Revenues for the year expected to be approximately $196 million, ahead of the previously upgraded range of $180 to $185 million, an increase of 71% from the year ended 31March, 2012

· Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be approximately $26 million, an increase of over 200% from $12.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2012

· Profit before tax, including one-time costs and amortization of purchased intangibles, is expected to be approximately $15 million, an increase from $1.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2012

· Basic earnings per share is expected to be approximately 4.4 cents, a 400% increase from 1.1 cents, for the year ended March 31, 2012

· Net cash at year-end is expected to be approximately $55 million an increase from $38.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2012

there are facts and there are facts.
fact....... a 200% increase from $12.8 million is $38.4 million
fact........a 400% increase from 1.1 cent is 5.5 cents.
anyone who uses facts to forward and augment their argument really ought
to be sure they get them right. .
additionally how can"expected" be regarded as fact? except that it is a fact that it is "expected "if you see what i mean.
regards
and good luck to all

jkd - the following extract from Wikipedia's entry on 'Bullshit' describes Tabby's 'facts' and style of posting alarmingly well:-

Distinguished from lying

"Bullshit" does not necessarily have to be a complete fabrication; with only basic knowledge about a topic, bullshit is often used to make the audience believe that one knows far more about the topic by feigning total certainty or making probable predictions. It may also merely be "filler" or nonsense that, by virtue of its style or wording, gives the impression that it actually means something.

In his essay on the subject, William G. Perry called bull[shit] "relevancies, however relevant, without data" and gave a definition of the verb "to bull[shit]" as follows:
To discourse upon the contexts, frames of reference and points of observation which would determine the origin, nature, and meaning of data if one had any. To present evidence of an understanding of form in the hope that the reader may be deceived into supposing a familiarity with content.[7]

The bullshitter generally either knows the statements are likely false, exaggerated, and in other ways misleading or has no interest in their factual accuracy one way or the other. "Talking bullshit" is thus a lesser form of lying, and is likely to elicit a correspondingly weaker emotional response: whereas an obvious liar may be greeted with derision, outrage, or anger, an exponent of bullshit tends to be dismissed with an indifferent sneer.

Harry Frankfurt's concept

In his essay On Bullshit (originally written in 1986, and published as a monograph in 2005), philosopher Harry Frankfurt of Princeton University characterizes bullshit as a form of falsehood distinct from lying. The liar, Frankfurt holds, knows and cares about the truth, but deliberately sets out to mislead instead of telling the truth. The "bullshitter", on the other hand, does not care about the truth and is only seeking to impress:[8][9]

It is impossible for someone to lie unless he thinks he knows the truth. Producing bullshit requires no such conviction. A person who lies is thereby responding to the truth, and he is to that extent respectful of it. When an honest man speaks, he says only what he believes to be true; and for the liar, it is correspondingly indispensable that he considers his statements to be false. For the bullshitter, however, all these bets are off: he is neither on the side of the true nor on the side of the false. His eye is not on the facts at all, as the eyes of the honest man and of the liar are, except insofar as they may be pertinent to his interest in getting away with what he says. He does not care whether the things he says describe reality correctly. He just picks them out, or makes them up, to suit his purpose.

Frankfurt connects this analysis of bullshit with Ludwig Wittgenstein's disdain of "non-sense" talk, and with the popular concept of a "bull session" in which speakers may try out unusual views without commitment. He fixes the blame for the prevalence of "bullshit" in modern society upon anti-realism and upon the growing frequency of situations in which people are expected to speak or have opinions without appropriate knowledge of the subject matter.

Gerald Cohen, in "Deeper into Bullshit", contrasted the kind of "bullshit" Frankfurt describes with a different sort: nonsense discourse presented as sense. Cohen points out that this sort of bullshit can be produced either accidentally or deliberately. While some writers do deliberately produce bullshit, a person can also aim at sense and produce nonsense by mistake; or a person deceived by a piece of bullshit can repeat it innocently, without intent to deceive others.[10]

Cohen gives the example of Alan Sokal's "Transgressing the Boundaries" as a piece of deliberate bullshit. Sokal's aim in creating it, however, was to point out that the "postmodernist" editors who accepted his paper for publication could not distinguish nonsense from sense, and thereby by implication that their field was "bullshit".

Gausie : being an inbred sheepshagger i been trying to get my head round this "bullshit" thing , is this an example ?



"A very lucky and undeserved win for the Taffs against the run of play.

The better team lost.

Contrasted nicely with England's deserved win after their display of the new strategy over Scotland: possessionless defensive excellence. It was a joy to behold the birth of this new paradigm - with new skills such as those now demonstrated by the England team, you no longer need the ball to win matches. Sheer brilliance.

Wales and France - be very afraid. You have nothing in your playbook to undermine
such a strategy."





Think someone posted it last year a few weeks before we won the Grand Slam (again} :-)

How you keeping mate ? :-)

Dil

That's the one.

Whoever posted that was clearly on drugs :-)

The following extract from Wikipedia describes Gausie’s 'face', style and appearance alarmingly well:-

Joseph Carey Merrick Gausie, sometimes incorrectly referred to as John Merrick, was an English man with severe deformities who was exhibited as a human curiosity named the Elephant Man.

His skin appeared thick and lumpy, he developed an enlargement of his lips, and a bony lump grew on his forehead. One of his arms and both feet became enlarged and at some point during his childhood he fell and damaged his hip, resulting in permanent lameness. His mummy always covered the medical bills.

Having said that…he was always a hoot at the £AM Xmas party where many of the revelers took it in turn to honk his nose to the tune of the birdie song…..a very popular man?

I reckon that the new edition of the Thesaurus should add HAYSTACKS to its' list of synonyms for NON COMPOS MENTIS. GAUSIE also appears to be a suitable candidate.

Chess…they are just a couple of weathered planks when placed together form exterior ply…. Cheap and nasty…and they cost £AM many punters and a lot of ££££ imo.

Yes, they deserve each other . The gruesome twosome.

Gausie :-)

there are far far worse on this site, and certainly others like MRSI aka magicjoe aka menorca1 and no doubt a few other aliases too, who have thankfully been removed

just be thankful that this place suffers far less abuse and other nonsense than the likes of advfn

Cynic….are there?

Those two cost £AM a fortune….they drive punters away in their droves….I know!! and I am always correct… Anyway ..off shortly to our Aston…and the summer sun…

By mid May you should see your investment increase substantially…by November…if you haven’t taken your profit lol..we will be on the way to a Nasdaq listing imo…by next May you could/will be talking £3-£4

I don’t give advice…but if I did it would probably be the best advice in the World…I wont be around these bb’s party revelling in the fun this May…but Haysack and Elephant man.. will be….give them my love!

clearly age has made me much more tolerant than you and others

Cynic…if you see a piece of shit on your shoe….no matter what age you are..you know it’s a piece of shit….
