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.

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….

ah, but some shit comes up smelling of roses :-)

Not from those two!

What I have just put on my roses definitely does not smell of roses. Where did I go wrong?!

the sooner we get away from "facts" the sooner t will like it.
to use his line of argument and reasoning he was 100% wrong on 2 counts, now how can anyone be more wronger than that? (yep i know the flaw of that reasoning)
so i shan't push it.
its the same argument he used against H and now he chooses to ignore it and pursue a different tact.
he makes me laugh.
but only because he gives me the impression of being a bullshitter and not a liar,all as defined in G.s previous post. maybe i am wrong. perhaps he is the other or possibly both? or maybe neither? read his posts and make up your own minds.
regards to all

don't be such bullies .... if you don't want to buy, then don't; there's no compulsion
whether or not tabby's logic for buying and holding are right or wrong is largely irrelevant, though i must confess he does rattle on about how he is always but always coprrect

I haven't noticed anyone attempting to be a bully except Tabasco. He attempts to insult and abuse posters if they disagree with him. I have always worked on the basis that I only feel insulted if someone attempts to insult me that I have some respect for.

cynic ... go read the Meldex (MDX) thread he was always correct on there too !

i really don't care whether the guy is right or wrong ..... try to be grown up and accept that we all have our foibles, weaknesses and strengths

I've seen your foibles cyners.....not a pretty sight.,.

.

nobody asked you to look THAT closely at them ... no wonder you needed a double whisky afterwards!

It's one thing to own Lycra shorts. It is as another thing entirely to be photographed in them.

better in them that out of them :-)
