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.

knock??????
more like henry cooper in his prime!

What's it all about this time? Presumably something in the results !

"Alfie"

Pretty much all of the declared short interests have closed....from 10% down to about 1% now.

but does that necessarily make it a buy?

Where can you get short figures these days. ?

All those sites that gave the figures seem to have closed down.

Short Tracker

Yep skinny got that one was really meaning PIs who were short, ie the full figure with funds included.

That's the only one I have these days.

Are any PI's going to have opened a large enough position to have to declare it?

Yep Evil K for a kick off and plenty of others eg, Alpesh Patel.

Anyway on one site all PIs were bundled together and thats the figure Im looking for.

IG these days give some idea on THEIR stats but they are just one player in the market.

goldfinger

Haven't taken much interest in this one , are you saying EK & Patel have short postions . is it time to go long now ?

EK I hear as a short position alders, not sure about AP at the moment.

What Im looking for is the overall position of stock on loan not just what the funds have borrowed.

The more stock on loan and the bigger the gain if the company releases good news.

Just think of all the shorters having to buy back.

Cynic makes a good point though above.

Trying to catch the bounce is a mugs game imo gf but good luck ... hope you time it better than that idiot panto !

panto is no idiot, though it's a pity he can never own up to when he gets a wrong call - as do we all

He is and more so a wind up merchant imo.

Of course hes an idiot everyone knows its Master RSI, and that being the case its a confirmed IDIOT.

Must have a least 20 alias on this board.

Blinkx off ‘Conviction List’ at Goldman Sachs
13th May 2014, 08:21

Goldman Sachs has moderated its recommendation on Blinkx [LON:BLNX] and moved to a straight ‘buy’ rating (previously ‘conviction buy’) stating that the stock is unlikely to outperform over the near-term despite supportive catalysts.

The broker specifically highlighted the general sector de-rating and the challenges faced by the video search and advertising services provider as it transitions from on-line to mobile as the main risks to outperformance.

However, Goldman went on to say: “We continue to believe that Blinkx has a broader and differentiated product offering (video search/discovery syndication, mobile) vs. ad-tech peers which enables higher monetisation vs. point vendors.”

Analysts have also moved to a 24 month price target of 130 pence a share from their previous 12 month target of 170 pence.

Dil's 80p target was rubbish!! :-)
