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.

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

Suranga Chandratillake, founder and CEO of blinkx, said:"The six months ending September 30 2009 clearly demonstrate the strength and vitality of blinkx's business model.

Mr.Chandratillake concluded: "As evidenced by these results, blinkx has made significant progress and enjoyed vigorous growth through the economic downturn. We are ready to ride the wave of the imminent upturn-wearefully fundedand willtake allappropriateopportunities to continue our rapid expansion."

Looks OK to me?

never ever confuse turnover with profit!
also note that the CEO makes no mention at all as to when the company will (might!) actually become genuinely profitable ...... is BLNX even cashflow positive and/or cash-rich?

Cynicwearefully fundedand willtake allappropriateopportunities to continue our rapid expansion."and that was told to the markets before the raising 5m through the placing of 27,927,971 new sharesthe problem is the market dont know how to value the companythis could very shortly be a flyerand without any warning!just an opinioncould be wrong?

Not much going on in the Zoo either, except the usual in-fighting, makes entertaining reading though during the quiet market moments (errr, like today)

so the clear answer is that BLNX is still burning cash ..... i see no reason to adopt mr micawber's hat for this stock

CynicI would have thought the fully funded before 5m placing was the clue either way I dont think they will be short of a Copper or twocould be wrong?
