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.

When I wrote my post above, only the first RNS on holdings had come out. It showed Blackrck increasing slightly to 10.04%. Later one came out showing a fall to 6.6%. That is quite a drop considering they have been sticking to between 10% and 13% all through the ups and downs. It looks like a vote with their feet for the company.

One profit warning then wait for the next.

more blue to come here - retrace in operation

good new black rock stop shorts on blnx................

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/banksandfinance/10947330/BlackRock-restricts-share-lending-after-short-selling-attack-on-Blinkx.html

Will lead to Blind Shorting. A blight during the early 2000s.

BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, has barred its City office from loaning shares following a short selling attack on Blinkx, a London-listed online video advertising company in which it is biggest shareholder, The Sunday Telegraph can disclose.
Blinkx lost a third of its value in a day in January after Ben Edelman, a Harvard University Business School professor, published a 3,500-word blog post expressing “grave doubts” over the company’s prospects and criticising the “opacity” of its statements to the stock market. The company rejected his claims but the damage was done.
Professor Edelman said he had been hired by third parties to investigate Blinkx on condition of anonymity. The admission prompted accusations of a ‘bear raid’, whereby short sellers, who effectively bet that a share price will fall, aim to force it lower with negative information about a company.
At the time, BlackRock was allowing its back office to loan a portion of its Blinkx stock to short sellers. It meant that when Professor Edelman published his blog, BlackRock was helping to drive the price lower. At the time BlackRock owned 11.6pc of Blinkx, meaning it lost nearly £30m in a day.
The episode has led to a change in policy at the asset manager, it is understood, amid concerns that bear raiders are on the lookout for more targets. BlackRock no longer loans out its shares, sources said.

At the time of the raid, more than 15pc of Blinkx share were out on loan, according to data from Markit. Today the figure is only 3pc, although traders are still betting against the stock and it is the eleventh most shorted company on Aim. They enjoyed more rewards last week when Blinkx issued a profit warning and shares tumbled again.
Since Blinkx was apparently targeted, Quindell, a British company which provides technology and consultancy to the insurance industry, has also been targeted by criticism from the United States. BlackRock is not a major shareholder but holds the stock as part of its tracker funds.
Gotham City Research, the mysterious organisation that delivered a bonanza to Quindell short sellers in April, returned to the fray last week with an attack on Gowex, a Spanish wireless internet provider.
BlackRock declined to comment.
