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.

My dog was doing that this morning :-)

I know someone who is barking and it aint my dog.

a picture speaks louder than a dozen words

who is barking then?
maybe is the owner's dog!

Looks like someone knows a lot about the owner's dog then

and talking about business as it should be

Today's uptrend is very narrow, apart from the earlier move to 125p almost at high as the opening and now breaking lower

final true trade today looks to have been ~121, so not much to crow about in either camp

maybe some press coverage this weekend after the HP/Autonomy news.

that HP/AU thing is very old news
my view is that HP and their forensic auditors were very sloppy indeed
HP clearly bought a pup, and of course it suits them very well to claim all sorts of malfeasance and jiggery-pokery in an attempt (vain i suspect) to wriggle out of a stinker deal and for HP management to pass the buck

cynic you are correct, which is fine just as long as there is no read across to BLNX.

it's only relevance is a bit like guilt by association, but even that's pretty tenuous

cynic of course that's right but we all know that the CEO of BLNX worked for Autonomy before he went off on his own.

true, but BLNX has now been running for quite a few years, and there's plenty of Big Noises in the city who have had pretty chequered careers

not suggesting there is anything wrong with the way BLNX runs its business what we are wary of is market sentiment.

ah, that's a different matter ... just as in the same way, dow has whizzed ahead, whereas last week it would have dumped

it may be a different matter, but it may very much affect the BLNX share price.

wait and see - but don't necessarily try to trade :-)

fine as long as one is not a shareholder.

It now looks like the trading statement put back to 17th Feb
