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.

Glad I halved my holding before fall, pure chance, but was expecting a quicker bounce all the same. All feels overdone to me...

Looking decidedly dodgy this morning.

quite so ..... perhaps there's some skeletons to be revealed in the long running HP/AU story ..... if so, there will be a knock-on effect through "guilt by association"

and getting dodgier by the minute. I'm a seller again below 100p

dipped a toe in - now short from 109

It closed at the low for the day and the closing auction went through at the low. Recently the auction has always gone through higher. Looking pretty negative. There were two trades reported after close of 200k and 300k at the low. The auction was 800k at the low. That's 1.3m at 116p at the end.

from FT .....

HP claimed to have been the victim of one of the largest accounting swindles ever in November 2012. Since then, compelling corroboration has yet to emerge. Ms Whitman needs to put that right. Otherwise the suspicion will deepen that HP merely overpaid for Autonomy, then botched its integration. If so, it is the stature of Ms Whitman that would be diminished in public eyes, not Mr Lynch’s.

================

even i am now of the opinion that there is less and less reason to be long BLNX
forget edelman who had his own mercenary aims, but this HP thing will assuredly do no favours
the market is now so disillusioned with BLNX, that it's hard to think what it will or would have to do to regain the market's confidence

dip my toe again and bought some at 109.50p

MASTER RSI BACK>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Blnx doing nothing wrong or illegal........

curiously, Blackrock then sold a big lump a day later
more to the point, it isn't a question of whether or not BLNX have done anything wrong or illegal, but whether or not the market has lost confidence in the company

Panto

bought 109.5 at 13.49? It seems you're tardis trading........
