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.

Sure glad that was only your point of view Cynic

For once I disagree with you cynic! Lynch is certainly no fool and he wouldn't have backed the placing at around 19p if he didn't feel it justified.

Like many others, the stock has been shorted down but it does now appear to show some life in it.

Unfortunately, for once, I agree with tabasco but if I say it will be the exception that broke the rule, I'm sure he'll forgive me!

Only a fool holds a grudge dealera grudge plays with the holders mind onlyso what is the point?of course I will forgive you

Maybe I have time to paint the entire house waiting for this dog to rise.

call your vet!

What you got a Wendy House?

For those interested in BLNX.

The down trendline is obvious and capped the recent small rise.
The shallow uptrend extends back over 12 months and once breached as support has also acted as resistance during the last few days.

Something I hadn't noticed on the AM chart was the presence of a 'Dead Cross' (circled on the chart)(50MA crosses the 200MA whilst both are in a downtrend). Ok, you might argue the 200 was flat, but pretty close; clearly this was not good news.

On the slightly positive side, the MACD is currently showing divergence versus the SP, which may be an indication that the decline is about to be reversed or perhaps just that the decline is slowing.

First thing the SP needs to achieve is to breakthrough the shallow trendline and once there not to slide back down the down trend.

I don't have a crystal ball so no idea what will happen next, but I certainly wouldn't invest in BLNX at the moment. Good luck to all holders.

I could paint the entire City by the time this bummer rises to any decent level

Could be worth a long term punt @ 4p

What you got a toy town as well?

Down again even on a FTSE up day, bag of S**** this one stay clear

So is Autonomybut I wont be painting my house.

Like comparing, Man U to Portsmouth

Ill settle for thatsame Leagueand both have Mouthy Managers.

Maybe I should have used the comparison yourself, and Warren Buffett

How many goes at it do you wantI normally only need the one?but if you insist.

I am younger than himbetter lookinghave more luxuriesI play from homehe has a scruffy little officeI holiday more in the sun.oh and I will be giving my money to my kids when Im goneso this time you are rightwe are miles apart

Some of you guys have had fun kicking this "dog" around!
However,it might be a good idea to remember the old adage " EVERY DOG HAS HIS DAY."
In other words ,the worm may well turn. Many a good company is getting kicked in the teeth at the mo,but that does not make them losers.

what a load of bollocks that is!
next you'll be telling everyone that SEO and several others of that ilk or worse are intrinsically wonderful.

are you related to the micawbers perchance?

cynic.
I don't know what you are getting so steamed up about. It should be obvious to a dolt that a companies worth is not always a reflection of its' price. If it were,there would be little point in investing period!!! So what you are talking about is a complete mystery .
Just having a rant because the market is down,maybe.

not at all ..... have made more "real" money in the markets this fiscal year than for a very long time, and that would be so, even if I sold my entire portfolio now.

i no longer hold BLNX, though i watch it sporadically as i have an interest in digital advertising ..... however, BLNX has been spouting for 2/3 years now about all these new clients and similar, but there is no sign of the company either making a profit or any other company having an interest in taking them out.

my previous comment(s) stand

Just one or two quotes from SCthat could prove you wrong Cynicand what with Tabasco being a lucky thickowho knows?
