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.

don't be so smug; it's unbecoming
you've made some money going north and i'm delighted for you
gausie and others made a bundle in the other direction. which may or may not have come back to bite their bums depending on how greedy they were

I think this saga is far from over. Edelman has said that he has more evidence to be revealed later.

Cynic, post 5848, no doubt Panto blowing his own horn, glad to see he's finallt recovered some of his losses.

Haystack

are you the one setting a stand, selling rotten eggs and ripe tomatoes outside - Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre -?

I'll buy you a dozen of each, egg throwing at the entrance and then tomatoes at the inside


................ Edelman future looks .............

cynic

re - don't be so smug

that is the right job for you, allways having the last word,
though I was not saying any names, as the company has at all times done on the RNS for some time now,
I was doing just the same, but you had to change the motto and talk about posters.

"I think blink have just inserted a cactus right up it!"

Who wants to sit on top will be your choice.

shortie

just short yourself out

lying again?
squelch, no squelch, squelch, no squelch
if you can not read my post do not talk about it, even on a 3er party post.
naturally you have been lying again ( Compulsive lying disorder )

are you being stupid on top? look below

Cynic, post 5848, no doubt Panto blowing his own horn, glad to see he's finallt recovered some of his losses.

buying at 106.50 and then 108p, there is no losses to be recovered
do some research first, like I done on your short at IMG 191.50p now 204p, OUCH
I sold for a 17% profit on 8 days, there are just a couple places at my share teaching school,
but sure you can not afford the fees after such losses with the shorts.

Does anyone know what time the presentation is/was - I can't see it on their website.

Interesting that with the late release of their response to Edelman, they now consider the matter closed and will not be taking questions on the subject. Does this mean that they do not believe that their response will stand up adequately to scrutiny?

Am long for the time being, but the stops are tight.

And, Cynic, thanks for your concern - bought a great big shiny new Mercedes from what I made on the way down, and still have change :-)

you'll manage a tankful of petrol then :-)

i think the response from BLNX management is absolutely correct
they've listened to the alleged concerns, investigated thoroughly and now quite rightly want to spend their time on running the business properly ..... and yes, end of story

no doubt edelman will try to eke further yardage from his attack, especially if his paymasters have been caught with their trousers round their ankles

===========

finally, i really do hate smug and supercilious posters!
none of us is right anywhere near all the time, and to pretend otherwise is hubris of the highest order

not the end of the road yet

Glad you hate yourself,
about time you recognise you large number of faults ( maybe is due to "faulty towers " )
do not tell anybody else,
I will keep the secret for a bit longer
till another cynic ask me

Blinkx is still suffering from the fallout from Ben Edelman’s accusations of dodgy ethics, but Professor Edleman admitted that the two investment firms who paid for his work had included a clause by which “If I find nothing, there will be a discount“.

Blinkx hits back at Harvard professor

Glad I bought some more at the right time .......




I'm overjoyed for you.

Analyst Views: What do you make of Blinkx's blog response?

I'll stick with my target skinny it's more realistic :-)

:-)

Blinkx hits back at professor’s damning blog

"....Blinkx also said it has called in the Financial Conduct Authority to investigate short sellers who may have benefited." Watch out you lot!!! ;o)

Lol they just send you a letter that you chuck in the bin then that's the end of it in my experience Harry.

Up to them to prove you did wrong not the other way around.
