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.

I notice clubman isn't around to comment ...

Maybe get out quick and take any profit

Good to see yer Cm. I felt lost without your caustic comments..

Good luck to all who made money.

Thai stock exchange building on fire

Clubman ,Things aound pretty bad out there.Hope that you are well out of the trouble zone.

Thank's I am in the UK at the moment, but my Mrs & family are in Bangkok. Big worry as the red shirts are now re grouping in outer Bangkok areas. Bangkok curfew now first time ever 8pm to 6am.

They are being paid by ex prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra who is controlling events from Dubai.

The 50% rise looks well overdone to me. Suspect it is the shorters being burnt.

Apologies for the pun.

What an idiot I am.

I've just realised I have a slab of these at 15p

I'm feeling a bit happier now!

Obviously a man well in control of his finances!

I don't believe that the penny has dropped yet on the potential of this stock.
Full year revenue up 140% ,profit up 123% etc.

and the EBITDA is hadly measurable.

lol.

Back in auction.

One that eventually came good as the shorters got stung.

What was it that cynic said. Give up on it at 13p?

Glad I didn't to be honest.
