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.

re - double bottom

Plenty of you have no idea of charting it seems
It was a double bottom - month chart - on moving back to 100p from yesterday´s lows

re - arses and mouth

cynic

you seem to have both but using them UPside DOwn
plenty of talk but this is a business thread not the talk to yourself thread, just to let you know, just in case, some posters know but not all by the way.

Panto
Chart patterns need more and stronger confirmation than you seem to think.

oh bugger off back to menorca - minorca if you prefer - which of course was one of your earlier aliases
you're a silly and humourless old fart, and no one pays any attention to you - except you

clearly your double bottom is exactly as described

Panto,

Manuel is rehearsing for when he looks in the mirror.

He likes being offended and offensive.

It means he is getting attention.

i almost never get offended, even by pompous pedagogues like fossy

Fred

re -getting attention (cynic)

do you think the suppose wife doesn't give a fart then, no wonder he spend all day here

By the way why most call him "Manuel"?

I´m a bit new here to know all those funny names

how disingenuous

i think fossy used to have a sobriquet of fawlty
hence i was christened by fossy (only) as manuel

Oi widow twankey .... 80p


luv

Panto - 5763... just proves you have no idea about charting

Of more significance, is the triple bottom.

ooo lala.,.

hubber, hubber...

The only real question is will it break out of the upper trend line?..

Been quite impressed with its resilience to go down further this week.

There's not a great deal to suggest there will be any further downside. End of the month they host capital markets day to investors so the bigger players will no doubt hold out for this. I expect the industry as a whole will mount a professional offensive. Its also worth noting IMO that we haven't seen any kick up from the wider digital advertising market surrounding Edelman's report. This pretty much implies that its unfounded as it would have been a perfect opportunity to steal market share. Instead the industry has pretty much presented a united front.

I take the opposite view. The fact that no other digital advertising company has spoken up suggests to me that the allegations are true. It may be more like keeping slow profile as they are all up to the same things.

"End of the month they host capital markets day to investors so the bigger players will no doubt hold out for this."

Anyone remember Graham Sadd's presentation to the market when he was in charge at infobank? On the thames riverboat?

He couldn't satisfactorily answer investors questions about certain aspects of the business that people thought might be questionable - the result was that holders sold, and traders shorted. And that was the end of Infobank.

BLINX had better have some credible and watertight answers to the questions that have been raised - else it could be goodnight.

I fully agree Gausie, for now I'm sat patiently on the fence...
