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.

Technicaly a very Bullish Set Up. See Chart........

Almost all of the increased volume was in the fall.

ooooooops wrong thread

BLUE is the colour BLINKX is the name.........up we go.

At below 200 there is resistance so upside is maybe 5% at the moment. Has fallen only inline with the bottom of the upwards trend line.. Sideways action at around 196 I think we'll see now.. No point investing either way in a sideways moving share, I'll watch and await a breakout up or down.

Up we go up we go ..........up we goooooooooooooooo

Don't mean .....down we goooooooooooooooo

LOL Hays.

By the way have you had a look on iii on this thread up their......... they dont seem to like you, I cant understand why.

Post after post having a go at you.

WOW you create enemys.

I haven't noticed unusual, in that fans of stocks never seem to like contrary opinions being expressed. They would just prefer posts that confirm their good judgement in buying the stock. It is of no great importance.

What about the death threats!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol
I must have missed those, although it wouldn't surprise me.

Hays post 4831 I fully agree.... I often don't post what I'm shorting because of the abuse... Some investors grow attached to their stocks like they're children or something, its very strange.. Then they seam to feel let down when the stock price buckles or boastful when it rallies just like a parent reading off school results...

They are like Justin Bieber fans. Their stocks can do no harm. If the stock falls then the market is wrong. The worst offenders are buyers of tech stocks. They fall in love with the technology and can't bear for posters to query any aspect of the business model.

Ahmen...

Nothing could be further from the truth with me.

I dont trade the company I trade the companys stock and therfore have no emotional tie up whatsoever, although I do agree with you Hays on your point about a lot of tech types who fall in love with the technology of some companys, ARM and IMG are typical stocks. Same posters day in day out mouth watering about some kind of new chip or summat, havent a clue myself and dont wish to.

You have to be ruthless in this business and ive got it in spades.

Having said that I dont trust traders who say they have shorts on but dont declare them.

Either they have no balls or they are telling porkies.
