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.

The money doesn't come from this BB. It comes from white label supply of data to third parties. The BB is more trouble than it is worth.

It looks like someone is losing money this days and the alternative is trying to find some faults on the ones making plenty of dosh

re - The BB is more trouble than it is worth.

tell me more is certainly not only the videos giving a hard time this days - poor sods - has someone heard ... I know people on high places

Or maybe it's friday afternoon and certain people make any early start on the booze? ;o)

Short term bounces here, but the trend is still firmly down.

panto - indisputably you and i have had our moments, and no doubt we shall have others in the future ......

however, sticky (gf if you like) admits that he has done his bollocks recently .... he has also decided to take complete umbrage with me, for a reason that is actually in his imagination and not reality
such can be the effects of stress .... but then i'm in a generous and forgiving mood today

cynic

re - he has also decided to take complete umbrage with me, for a reason that is actually in his imagination and not reality

that must be the case towards me also, imagination can go wild with the help of booze

glad you are on a better mood today, I am too since lunch time, yes I let an ant to pass by on the garden without getting the footie

An talking about the share price, well closing almost at best of the day can not be bad.

Have a nice weekend

you too
am disinclined to buy in at this level as too close to 80 and resistance

I bought a few in the auction. Looking for a 10p rise.

This still looks very risky. I am also not sure the Edelman saga is over. The 80p level seem critical and at that level the recent rise is only as big as the one in April when it fell back strongly. The result weren't above what was expected and it has been downgraded by brokers recently. The whole digital ad sector has been maked down as under pressure. Media clicks are worth less and less with mobile clicks and views becoming worth hardly anything due to their volume. Looking forward, their next set of results will be more indicative, which may account for the downgrading.

i'll contemplate on monday

Haystack - everything you say is true, but it's all in the price. I've gone long because I happen to be particularly keen on the chart pattern that's been generated over the past few days.

I agree, you could well be right short term. I was looking at it as an investment not as a trade and why it may still show weakness.

There might be another drop in this for sure....impossible to guess....

The shorters must be closing or is that buyers are seeing the chart to look much better now

81.50p at the moment

seems not to like that 80p hurdle though

For you guys sat long in this.

Tech stocks on the way up today and this one on the move also gone long ealier @ 62

FFS Gausie get out first thing in the morning !

If donkey's gone long they'll probably be in administration by Friday.

The BIG FOOL ..... Dil, needs to go to Spec Savers Offers first thing in the morning instead of Off Licence at 2.30 am
( piss as usual from signing on money ?)

Gausie " sat on " was at over 80p and over a month ago, on selling now he will be out of pocket at this price.

already at 67.75p +1.675p on a very down market from the start after the 119 points down on the DOW

Ignore them Panto.

Having followed your lead on CHA and made a killing I watch your tips and analysis with interest and awe.

Keep up the good work and don't let these pygmies get to you. You are above such trivia.

Best Regards
Impressed of Oxon

Big push up today 67.50p now, after the usual marked down on the last couple days, once it risers more than a bit
