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.

Skinnyam I forgiven?.I believe more to come tomorrow.

I'm not sure what you mean. If its the Blackrock disclosure, then that relates to shares purchased on the 18th - not yesterday.

Ok mate.no comment

Blimey, go on a golfing holiday for a week and WWIII seems to have broken out on MAM!!

Can't say I have ever been struck by this company, but well done to those who stuck with it. Especially pleased for Toya who I know was in a loss situation. If it doesn't make a double top it's going higher.

How nice to hear from you PTH. Yes, I am well in profit with this, having decided just to sit tight. Old age is slowing me down and I'm learning to be patient at last!

40p is clearly a big barrier here currently but I am sticking with BLNX as I still believe in their technology.

Time to retreat to the cool shade of my toadstool...

Big fight on to get these to close under 40pI have a feeling the battle will be lost
fingers crossed...

whoooooooooooooshhhhhhhhhhhhh......................................

Tabby,it sounds as though you have just had a large one. I think I'll have one too

Just made quite a few largehope you have too Chessclosed 41p IMO this is going to pay out seriously Big Bucks in the coming years for investors!and I am a lucky thicko

Well done Tabby how about a loan

ClubbyI am not in your leaguenot with all those nightclubs you soldIm just a poor boy from a poor family?spared a good lifeas winners I can see.easy comebut never go.plenty doughcash flow you know the rest Clubby.something about Bette Midler init?

Buy the wife something nice.

Shes got something niceME!and her Jimmy Choosnot sure which order?

I was also from a poor working class family, but with many years hard work and a talent I was able to build my fortune. Was not easy seven days, some times 21 hour day. Fending off threats from organised crime people. Life threatened , many assults, many scars, one gunshot hole. Got out while Nightclubs were still packed, and the rave scene jam packed some of my places throughout the 90s.

i held this one for ages and got so cheesed off with its non-performance that i sold it several months ago ..... glad for those who held out, but perhaps they are also holders of SEO and the like

=============

clubby - i bet there was a large element of luck in your good fortune too

I think there is luck in most businesses, but I put my fortune down to being a person who is able to spot oppertunities, and have the guts to act. I would say more like hard work but maybe you are right to a degree.

Dealing with corrupt police, council officers, licensing officers, solicitors, drug dealing bosses, all wanting some of Clubbies door money. If I had the money I back handed to this pile of shit people over 30 years, I would have an extra million. Most average UK people do not realise the corruption involved within our public authority's.

Clubby....You were just lucky the neighbours never complained about the noise!

They did, I had to bung them. Sorry I forgot about them in my list.

One of them in Manchester even got a comittee together to try and revoke my public entertainments licence. In a 2000 capacity premises charging 12 entry on a Saturday night that is serious money.

That is where the paid corruption money works for you Police, and or council give tip off, and drug bosses take care of other end.
