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.

Tabbytwat, you're an idiot, this shouldn't be news to you, you've been told many times, mainly thorugh your inane contributions to the MDX thread.

'I would be very surprised if the sp ends the day negative '

Surprised? Or a bit more than surprised?

'Getting there Chessthe mms are easier to read than Debbie does Dallas '

Perhaps the market already knows? Perhaps nothing to do with the MMs, always the devil in any SP fall.

BLINX have many 'partners' how many of which contribute to the bottom line?

Let's hope they have a good set of figs tomorrow, otherwise you'll look a much bigger twat than normal :)

Ways of a Market Maker

I was an OTC MM for about 10 years ending in the late 80's. Since then I have been strictly an investor. Since I have not been that up to date in MM rules I will only make statements that I feel fairly confident are still accurate regarding these activities. By and large most MM don't have a clue nor do they care to learn, about the fundamentals of the stocks they trade.

They just try to make orderly markets. When dealing with BB stocks it is very easy for a MM to get trapped into being short in dealing in a fast moving market. Reason being; most of the MM's in this stock are what are called "wholesalers" this means they don't have retail brokers "working" the stocks.

So they have to rely on what's known as the "call" from larger retail houses. If a "Big" retail firm like an E-trade calls up a market maker to purchase say 5,000 shares of a stock, they expect to get an "execution" from that market maker. If he turns them down, or only gives a partial then the "Big" firm will go to another MM.

If this second MM "fills the order" then that "Big" firm has a moral obligation to continue to give future "business" in that stock to that MM who performed (his life blood). This will go on until he "fails" to perform and so on.

Contrary to popular opinion the "Big" firms Do NOT neccessarily go to the "Low Offer" to fill a buy order (Or high bid for a sell). They "Go" to who they think will perform to fill the order and expect that MM to "match" the "low offer" in the case of a buy (bid in the case of a sell). Even though this MM might in fact be the "high bid" and not really want to sell any more.

As a wholesaler he must perform or he will get a reputation as a "non-performer" with the "Big" houses and will cease getting "calls" which means he will soon go out of business. I mentioned above that this activity is very significant to BB stocks. I say this because most of the trades in these BB stocks are "unsolicited" and are done through discount houses.

With the above groundwork laid, let me try to explain how market makers get short even if they like the Company; Lets say that a stock (shell) has been lying quietly at $.25 bid $.50 offered. A limit order comes into one of the MM's to Buy at $.50 for a thousand shares. Prior to this trade that MM may be "flat" (neither long or short any shares). He fills the order and is now short 1,000 shares. He may raise his bid hoping to find a seller to "flatten" out his position. But before he realizes it a wave of buyers have come in and cleared out all the $.50 offers. Now the stock is $.50 bid .75 offered. Here comes that "Big" firm he just sold the 1,000 shares to at .50 with another bid for 1000 at .75. He makes this print. Now he is short 2,000 at an average of .625. The market keeps moving and now its .75 bid 1.00 offered. Now he has to make a decision.

Just like investors, MM Hate to take a loss. So 9 times out of 10 he will now sell 2000 at 1.00 making him short 4000 but with an average .81. At this time he would love to see a seller at .75 so he can cover his short and make a few bucks.

But instead the market keeps moving up. Now it is 1.00 to 1.25 and here comes the buyer again at 1.25. He doesn't want to lose the call so now he needs to sell 4,000 at 1.25 to keep his break even point above the bid. Now he is short 8,000. Market moves up to 1.25 bid 1.50 offer here comes the buyer now he feels he must sell 8000 here because "stocks don't go up forever".

Now he is short 16,000. And so on and so on. If the stock keeps moving up, before he realizes it he could be short 50k or 100k shares (depending how big his bank is).

Finally the market closes for the day and on paper he may look all right in that his "break even" price may be around the closing price. But now he has to figure out how to entice sellers so he can cover this short. It is important to note that if this happened to one MM it has probably happened to most all of them.

Some ways MM's entice sellers; Run the stock up with a "tight spread" in a fast market, then "open" up the spread to slow down the buying interest. After it has "cooled off" for a little while lower the offer below the last trade right after a small piece trades on the offer then tighten the spread so that the sellers feel they can take a "quick profit" by "hitting the bid" on the tight spread.

Once the selling starts the MM's will walk it down quickly by only making small prints on the way down with the tight spread. Another way is by running the stock up in the morning, averaging up their short then use the above technique to walk it down in the afternoon.

Hopefully after doing this for several days, it will demoralize the buyers. The volume will dry up and the sellers will materialize thinking that the game is over.

Contrary to popular opinion, MM usually Do Not Cover in Fast moving markets either Up or Down if they are short. They Short More. They usually try to cover after the frenzy is out of the market. There are many other techniques they use but the above are the most popular.

This technique works about 9 times out of 10 particularly in a BB market. However that is because 9 out of 10 BB stocks are BS. Remember what I said above. Most MM's don't have a clue as to the value of a Company until they get trapped. If the Company has solid fundementals and a bright future. Then the stock will do very well. And the activity that caused the situation will prove to even help the future stock activity because it created an audience.

Good luck to all holders for tomorrow.

dont like guessing spsany predictions?

Placing of shares.

Almost a hour inand not one trade over 6000 on a big company day.interesting?...A teleconference call to discuss these results will be hosted at 9.30am

Tabby
I was merely following your usual condescending example. I see you've added another claim to your not so colourfull past. How long did it take you fo find the MM stuff on Google?
FWIW, I don't believe a single thing you post, but you can be amusing at times.

PS. You may have squelched me at some point but we both know you keep looking at my posts, you can't resist not knowing what another poster is saying about you!

blinkx interim losses up at $6.9m
Business Financial Newswire
First half revenues at video search engine blinkx more than doubled to $13.1m.

Gross profits jumped to $8.5m from $4.5m but losses also increased to $6.9m from $3.3m but included $1.4m of non-recurring costs relating to infrastructure investments.

The firm had cash balances of $10.7m at the end of September - cown from $32.4m a year ago.

Founder and chief executive Suranga Chandratillake said: "The six months ending September 30 2009 clearly demonstrate the strength and vitality of blinkx's business model.

"Despite universally challenging macroeconomic conditions, blinkx has continued its robust growth, with revenue more than doubling compared to the same period a year ago.

"Our decision to make and deploy significant infrastructure investments early in the period has already proven successful, delivering substantial revenue and gross profit improvements that are reflected in these results.

"blinkx's consumer sites continue to draw an ever larger global audience-during the period our video streams increased by 170% and we broke into the Top 10 Video Sites as measured by both comScore and Nielsen."

Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

LONDON (Dow Jones)--Online video search engine Blinkx PLC (BLNX.LN) Tuesday said it plans to use proceeds from its proposed GBP5 million share placing on acquisitions.

The firm, which earlier Tuesday announced it would raise a gross GBP5 million through a placing, said it didn't yet have any specific acquisition targets in mind.

However, Chief Executive Suranga Chandratillake told Dow Jones Newswires: "We think there's going to be a number of interesting opportunities that arise as some companies haven't done as well as us during the downturn."

Blinkx earlier Tuesday posted a doubling of first-half revenue, although its pretax loss for the period widened following heavier spending on research, development, sales and marketing.

Chandratillake said Blinkx would consider strategic partnerships, acquisitions and new distribution networks.

"We've not got a time frame for any deals but the downturn tends to sort the wheat from the chaff and the chaff is definitely all around us," he added.

For anyone interested (although it's easy with hindsight) the recent high at 24p was a fairly obvious shorting opportunity.

Note the divergence on the MACD histogram from the previous high, by which I mean the SP made a higher high (24p) however the Histo made a low. This gave a hint a correction was due. In addition the MAs on the MACD made a nice double top to strengthen the argument for a short trade.

There we are, nicely settled on the placing price of 18p so that we can all join in.

Mind you, if and when it hits 12p again, perhaps they'll wish they hadn't bothered ...

Can now buy at 17.5p which is below the placing price.

Tis strange that all the rampers of this stock seem to have disappeared...

Who are those rampers dealerplease inform usfor such an illuminated stock I thought this thread was quiet
You also might note that volumes have been low for such an sp declineand with 28ml shares taken up at 18p today tells me somethingall the mms have is a small impatient bunch of small time day traders throwing in the towelusual suspects beating each other up with only a half a dozen or so sells over 6000 when the might and knowledge of autonomy are increasing to approximately 26% pre-empting a take-over

I should open your eyes if I was you. A number of tiddlers are falling down to and below their placing price. Even a stock such as BDEV will be struggling to stay above it's rights price of 100p if the market falls. Similarly GFRD. Just because Autonomy is underwriting it is no guarantee that the sp won't slip below as history will show you over the last couple of years.

I've no idea where these are going, I can't look into the future I'm afraid but I know a struggling crap market when I see one and that is exactly what has happened over the past 3 weeks which is why the AIM market has buy and large stopped moving.

My eyes are always open my friendsome say I am also nocturnaland I take your point as I also called the market downbut my question wasWho are those rampers dealer
