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.

Zak Mir on Tiger Global - Blog.

The anonymity and use of multiple companies had the effect of concealing not only identity and magnitude of the wilful sabotage of these companies, but also, perhaps most importantly, meant that the average investor stood no chance against the onslaught. They would have to rely on the blogosphere for clues. The bloggers of course pointed to numbers not adding up ( LIKE THE SHERIFF DOES), led by Blinkx’s nemesis Harvard Professor Ben Edelman.

He may have done all his homework perfectly correctly. Nevertheless, the point to be made is that even if he was totally wrong, any company whether good, bad, or ugly could have slid under the shorting attack of the magnitude of Tiger Global with its cloak of invisibility. The bear attack would simply gather its own momentum to create a self fulfilling prophecy as investors panic out as the stock price plunges for no apparent reason.

Of course, what Edelman was to Blinkx, so Gotham City Research was to Quindell (QPP). It is interesting to note that according to Valuewalk.com Tiger Global was already short of the insurance outsourcer and at the latest count was short of 4.26%. It would be fascinating to know whether the shorter and the researcher’s paths have ever crossed? Certainly, it is much easier to be bearish on a company if you know hedge funds are in their up to the eyeballs. It is also easier to point out weaknesses if you know that going forward a company will be slowly asphyxiated by a share price decline and the board will be left attempting to turn the tide King Canute style.

What the Tiger Global episode appears to illustrate is the way that after regulators have closed to the door on the old long side insider trading and ramping, some players have gone to what could be termed as the “dark side”. This is because shorting companies is not understood by the mainstream, or apparently regulators, as well as it long equivalent. There may have been no wrong doing, no collusion, and no conspiracy regarding the recent histories of Quindell, Blinkx, Monitise et al and the manner of the stock price downfall.

But something did smell as they fell, especially as I would venture to suggest that even a whiter than white company attacked in such a way would implode. It would be surprising if the rules are not changed once the dust settles..."

Starting to look overbought again

and on being oversold, has been moving higher yesterday, end of the retracement

and blowing away to 28p was higher earlier, on larger volume than recently 1.5M already

A nice spike going on at the moment with share price to 30.125p + 2.375p

At this rate I can see a BREAKOUT of the recent intraday high of 30.25p

A very strong order book on the bid side for a while now

I took out a Sept position a couple of weekends ago - It has been kicked enough times and found its bottom, When I saw a clear up trend, I expect it to rise over the next six months.

it wouldn't surprise me to see a complete re rating for this stock in the not too distant future.

Re-rating down?

Let's wait and see.

a 100K buy @ 26.44p paying premium it was 26p offer done the job

it's somewhat unfair to show the 5-year chart at this juncture though it is salutary
but even leaving that aside, sp was 40 in mid may against 26.25 (again) now
tech shares in general are also somewhat out of favour
