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.

well clubby, in my opinion, i stand by what i wrote previously - can't take; don't dish ..... tell me clubby, when did i get (personally) abusive to you about some of your more outrageously racist posts? ..... i didn't, for the simple reason that i know i can also get up peoples' noses (especially if long or square!)

Correct Cynic it's only a board

actually, am quite surprised you didn't get a yellow card from Ian, or perhaps you did

and its a board which is intended to promote investment ideas and comment not to promote racism and BNP propaganda.

No. I take boards at face value. Having a young beautiful wife half my age, stunning body, 32 kilo weight, I can take all comments especially when I look at most other guys wag's White ain't right not for me anyway.

Cynicyou wont upset because you are a good guy.I know thisIm sure that twat Clubby and myself have insulted each other many timesand we still talk to each othereven though his wife gets her tits from Halfords.but there is a subtle difference between having a laugh and playing the gametell me cynicdo you know Gausies backgroundplease dont tell me details if you dojust yes or no will be good.

Tabby chill out, you are giving him the ammo he needs to wind you. Maybe you are to young to remember this, sticks and stones may break my bones but calling will not hurt me.

the only people on this site with whom i have ever had physical(!!!) contact is that little elf Toya and PTH ..... frankly, i don't give a jot about people's background or ethnicity or very much else, even in real life ... i try to accept them at face value, and as a result, have met with some very pleasant surprises

I think you would find me interesting Cynic. Gaustic picks on weak, easy to wind up people he is no match for experienced multiple weboard posters, and I post on many Ex Pat sites and have done so for over 10 years.

i only post here; it's more than enough for me
and since you almost ask, i'ld happily have a drink with you (and your missus?) when you are in london ..... i live and work about 30 miles west

Don't let her out in the smoke, she only goes to bingo with her mate. I am not stupid.

some would disagree

What matters is I know the truth.
