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.

It will drop at least 25% IMHO it is just timing a sell order.

Up 10.6% on good volume today.

Certainly looking promising.
Very good volume of trades

Broker upgrade.

blinkx introduces add-ons for Windows Internet Explorer


<
blinkx, the world's largest and most advanced video search engine, today

launched four custom browser "add-ons" that will turn everyday Internet

browsing into a true video experience for Windows Internet Explorer 8 users.

"Together or separately, these four add-ons will change the way users

interact with blinkx.com, their Internet Explorer 8 browser and video on the

Web," said Suranga Chandratillake, founder and CEO, blinkx. "As the Web moves

increasingly towards video, our goal is to make finding that video as simple,

seamless and integrated a process as possible."

This sounds very positive.
It would be interesting to see some more informed comments on the likely impact of these "add ons".

bought a few this morning.

IE 8 is bad enough now without more add on's

There were a couple of interesting points mentioned by Mike Jeremy in his Daniel Stewart buy target of 61p.
1. In the near term Blinkx should benefit from the ongoing shift in advertising away from newspapers to the internet. But Jeremy also emphasises long-term growth potential in the accelerating trend toward on-web television viewing,via both television sets and mobile devices,an area into which the is now moving.
( I understand that Sky is coming out soon with such a product.)
2. Blinkx,whose search software ties videos with relevant advertising,saw 22.6 million video searches every day by March this year,compared to 8.4 million the year before,noted Jeremy. According to research from comScore,the Cambridge firm is now the UK's fastest growing video site after social networking platform Facebook.

nice if they could turn all that work into a meaningful profit.
