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.

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

Try looking in a mirror and then go back to posts 482 -492.

Ok dealeryour post should have readTis strange that ellio and tabasco the rampers of this stock seem to have disappeared
First point elliohardly call that a ramp.two hopings and a nothing guaranteed in the post wouldnt persuade anyone to get their pie and mash out.as for my postit was against the mms not stock specificin any case I havent exactly disappeared at least not that I am aware of

More's the pity ..

;-)

I take that as an acceptance of the crap you wrote in post 506no hard feelings

Ah insults, wondered when you'd you'd stoop to them as your tiny intellect ran out.

Try opening your mind a bit. You may learn something from people on these boards which would help you gain a bit of experience ..

you mean peeps like marni and kate barnes i assume!

Of course.

marni has taught me the values of respect, leadership and high intellectual thought with a little dollop of humility ..

her acolyte KB has similarly virtues

Just a thought>

The more I think about the lead up to the resultsthe more I struggle
Suranga Chandratillake has stated blinkx is fully funded to see it to profitabilitythe placing was something none of us envisaged and it was constructed presumably quickly to be announced parallel with the results which would obviously damage the good or any news?the costs of zango and integration has not been disclosed to my knowledgebut pennies in the pound has been hinted on the purchase of the Zango assets the revenues gained were also of a muted naturethey didnt want us to knowand if the figures were great they could buy six months of timehere is were I have a problemAU. Underwritingthe 18p that was close to the SPand with the placement bad news almost certain to threaten the levelprobable big buyers would back off leaving AU holding the baby with the lot.now with SC saying he did not need the money why cause damage to us shareholders for extra cash on the balance sheet that was not needednow if BLNX/AU have been approached prior to the announcementwouldnt it be a bummer if AU.get forced into a controlling handall very sweetbut then again I could be talking bollocks?

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


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 - down 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."

larger global audience and larger losses - wonderful!
rather like companies who don't know the diff between t/o and profit

only ever average up, never ever average down, too risky.
just my opinion as always. please all dyor.
