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.

>>>> 'Edelman' sounds a bit Jewish.

Did anyone said Jewish?

Arun George sells £15K and tell everybody at FT.com

Joe public says ,,,,,,,,. Any thoughts to where this technology is going apart from an ex drop out from Harvard who never made his grades?

Nicely recovering...long may it continue...

Take profit today rf, imo, before it tanks again!

We shall see Harrycat.....volatile to say the least....

I agree with Harry. In traders hands now and those that take it up will take it back down again.

Grand Old Duke Of York.

Just sold out on your advice.....wasn't planning to but too volatile and I can't watch all the time...(work to do).... but anyway made a profit which is something...

Perhaps too soon ....anyway ...might be back later...

as i said yesterday, whatever the merits or otherwise of yesterday's debacle, i think there'll be a lot of bear covering as the day wears on, some of whom will prove to have been not half as clever as they thought

Could go either way....

required field

in future take your own decisions, plenty of drop outs over here also, jealous of not being able to make money with this stock at the moment.

130 is a nice add.

At least you have profit and cash in the bank rf. You can always have another dabble if the mood takes you.

Exactly...in this market in and out is the best way it seems...

I cannot monitor this all day and there are other shares out there...

>>>>> I cannot monitor this all day

Why did you sell then?

the bounce back has been on since breaking 100p yesterday, there are going to be resistance points on the way like is now 130p

Afraid i agree with galatica, RF you decide when to pull out don't be talked into it.,.

Galatica funny how Tomasz drops off the BB's and you seam to appear spouting the same old rubbish and ramping on..

I think Galactica is the love child of Tabby and Tomasz.
