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.

Strawman - this is premium video content for a given media company...not you recording your way home after midnight mass…. Then pissed because you can’t find the clip on BLNX…lol…most viewers’ will except watching adds because they get to see their chosen video.

but market underwhelmed as usual by blnx's announcements - except really good numbers

Cynic…how long have you been in this game….the market never shows their hand immediately…if things played out as they seem we would all be winners…how many times have you heard on £AM…I just got out at the wrong time…lol …coincidence?...lol..
Listen….I have a fair few of these…I “KNOW” how good this company is…one of my golfing partner’s has worked with them from almost day one…
When this was taken down deliberately to the 30p’s I was catching falling knives and throwing them back up turbo style…I have had a bit of luck?
I cant give advice to an old pro like you…but to others I would say….don’t play the obvious…and there are plenty of other ways to hedge if you are the nervous type…..i’m not!
I’m very lucky….

i'm happy enough to hold as you know, but eldorado could still be a very long way away

Cynic….the AIM is very easy to control…it is a casino with minor rules but no regulator….some take advantage!!!!..the Nasdaq is a different ballgame!...i wonder?

Just my opinion… lol

My thought for the day....This could be massive…it appears BLNX are offering absolutely anyone with a website the opportunity to partner BLNX for a revenue share….they will be enabled to power their Web and mobile properties with content from blinkx's premium video catalogue…there will be little or no implementation cost according to BLNX…

Blinkx VideoAdvantage will provide publishers a solution to easily embed video on their sites….looks like a no-brainer…

Strawman….i don’t see your YouTube offering this service…then again how much do they earn?.... broadly speaking…and with a very rough calculation…I would hazard a guess at fuck-all…come to that “CORE” is biggest and best in breed and is apparently now available to anyone with a website…how many new publishers will this entice? KERCHINGGGGGGGG!

Of course all Blinkx announcements are intended to make you believe that they have found a cure for cancer or discovered the secret of the universe.

As cynic said above, "market underwhelmed as usual".


The deal is just the usual click through deal that is universally offered.

Yes Strawman…and of course you know all about BLNX…I’ve read your dumb ass posts to date….

BTW>>At the AGM the charts showed a cash pile of $55.9…the FD referred to the cash during his presentation as $66mil.. could have been a slip of the tongue/mistake…could be a tease?

I shouldn’t have probably said…as I don’t want Elephant Man to close his added short…lol but that would hint at a very nice November 16th…the MM’s can play about all they want….i like quality sale….and they have been very kind thus far!!

Time to go Strawman at work….toddle pip…

BTW....it's not universally offered by YouTube...lol

So the cash is worth around 13p per share. Is the business worth the other 101p. I think not.

Currently Blnx have 40+ agencies…900+ content partners…1000 brands and 3000 publishers…The company operates in the US and UK and has 235 employees split into 157 sales and marketing…62 R&D and 36 admin… Despite rocketing revenue and cash generation the company reduced headcount by 20….

BlackRock…the world's largest asset manager have also substantially increased they holding over the last month…so the worlds largest don’t get that title by making mistakes…remind me Strawman…what was your valuation? 4P…lol

Long term 0p

Yep....words from a man fucked!

Wait till the bubble bursts.

Strawman….i think you will find BLNX is a carbon bubble! How is your mate?..

I see Elephant Man added to his short on the 12 Jul 2013 17:03 - 4557 “Added to short today”….fancy adding some more?....lol…Clem says…”it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy”...Elephant continues to transfer his/mothers wealth into my accounts….long may it continue!..

To all long term investors….well done guys and girls…

i am certainly happier to see (any) sp tick along quietly with inevitable dips in preference to the rocket and stick performance of any number of aim stocks

I can’t disagree with that Cynic…

Ready for next stage up guys, chart is very bullish.

Elephant Man…..added? lol

Nice
