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.

have a look at director dealings over the past year.

It's more a case of what percentage of their holding they sold rather than the raw number of shares imo and I haven't looked at that but what I did find interesting was Mike Lynch NED selling 4 million cos if it's the right Mike Lynch he had his own listed tech company in the late 90's.

Yep, its Autonmy man.

lynch sold Autonomy to Hewlett Packard for several billions which they subsequently decided to write off, Blinx was spun off from Autonomy.

Hmmmmmm , says it all.

So much for the conspiracy theories about why the price dropped.

Does anyone think it was just the market makers shaking the tree?.....

G

lol

I blame Cat and dodddy

i blame rf for getting on board.,.

You've all done very well! :-)

roflmao balerboy ... I usually have that effect too.

Plenty of people bullish on other BBs. Predicting 170p tomorrow and 220p next week. Many claiming to be buying, but I doubt it. More like they didn't sell and are hoping...

the question is why would you want to buy BLNX now?

An interesting morning - to watch!

pile into QPP instead.,.

One of your better posts halifax I think - and I know nothing about this share, apart from what I've read here today!

There is the usual talk on other BBs of it being a takeover target. I would have thought today's nonsense might be more likely to put off a buyer.

One of the things that I dislike about this type of tech company is the technique of buying revenue. Money is raised and this is then used to buy a company with revenue and sometimes the company is bought with paper by issuing more shares. As it does this, its revenues rise and so does its P/E ratio. The company get big very fast and the brokers and punters keep seeing better revenues. Of course this is not infinitely sustainable. Many companies make the transition into profit at a more reasonable P/E. Some just carry on like an inflating balloon. You have to wonder at what point would they pay dividends.

This is a risky one so I say buy QPP or COMS but even these could be going for a consolidation. DYOR!!!

As it happens back in May 10, 2005 - ben edelman - was posting the same old bull
