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 looks as though the penny has finally dropped as to what is the potential is with this baby! Mind you, there have been some trying moments.
Up 4 fold in the last couple of months.

Tipped in "The Quantum Leap" .......a short while ago at 33.5p...how I wish I had taken more notice in that one...just can't cover them all....

And again!

???....incredible....

i also saw QL's tip after the event - haven't even had time to read it yet!
not sure where upside goes

Blinkxs Value Has Soared To 158 Million; Now What?

Blinkx may have posted another loss on investment in its annual accounts in May, but the report that actual income nearly doubled has set a rocket under the video search and advertising firms share price.

As our chart shows, Blinkxs price on Londons AIM market shot up more than three times following the earnings on May 19, and in the last few days reached farther, to a record of 0.57, not seen since Blinkxs May 2007 IPO.
Its now valued at 158 millionback around its heady flotation value and more than four times its worth just two months ago.
Whats behind the surge ?
Back in June, one analyst set Blinkx, led by CEO Suranga Chandratillake, a target price of 0.61, forecasting Blinkx will be making 30 million profit on 80 million revenue by 2014.
This week, big investors have splashed out heavily on Blinkx stock. The rise is exciting investors, some of whom have already made a killing, some of whom are hanging in for a sale to someone like Google (NSDQ: GOOG) (surely the old rainbow logo was for catching Mountain Views eye?).
The period has seen more of the usual announcements from the company - new partnerships for food and history clips, and a deal to supply advertising in video from the ITN news agency packaged for Iliffe local newspapers.
The company is now actively referring to its high price in its latest press release, announcing its Blinkx Beat video app will be bundled with Samsungs new Galaxy S smartphone.
So where does Blinkx go from here? Most folks believe that online video advertising is only just getting going. With over 720 content partnerships and 35 million hours of clips, Blinkx certainly already has scale. A partnership with interactive TV service Miniweb means Blinkx is poised to get those video ads on to living room TVs as well.
A Google-Blinkx tie-up is a natural fit, letting Google buy in to the fast-growing market of video ads against premium content, leapfrogging efforts to monetise the mostly amateur vids of YouTube. But well see.

Google quarterly results todaywith its $29bn kitty.Hmmmmmm?

Fantastic to finally see this co taking off after all the mockery!

Money those that mocked have ample time to humiliate themselves?

Or humble themselves by going long

Clubby of coursethis stock is living proof that the best returns come from being a disciplined investornot an impatient trader with strong gambling tendenciesthe gang lol

same could be said of SEO and a multitude of other winners!

Can anyone remember the price Piper Jaffray currently have on BLNX?Rajeev Bahl is a shrewdie. lol

Good day for this as well.....with more contracts ...100p or so has to be on the cards......a rare day when I feel quite pleased at the end of play !.

I think he said 61p but I think this is only the beginning! If we don't get taken over Mike Lynch of Au. is thinking ftse 100 eventually and growth may even exceed Au. I can't see them letting this one go easily no matter how big the predator! Laugh if you like but I've held my free shares since they floated off and even bought a nice holding of 85k Oh how I wish I'd held on to them--only 10k left now but I intend buying more on any weakness.

It is still a nice profit moneyand still a lot more to come.
I believe Rajeev Bahl a Piper Jaffray analyst valued us at twenty something and has never updatedthe mans loco!

Clubby is ready to buy BLNX watch it move now.

do remain aware that while this company is making significant progress, it is still not turning a true profit, so is still buoyed by blue sky and vague hopes of t/o

Only joking I think it is ready for a fall.

I am quite happy for posters to add caution to this stockthey have been slagging it off for two yearsaint done it a lot of harm! it has incredibly gone from 12p to 65p in the blink of an eyewhich is bound to interest tradersthey can have their 5% and then beat each other up while giving most of it backinvestors end up the winners I prefer slow and steadylook at BVIChardly a single trader on the stockand no need to talk about it
BLNX is 1% down nowI very much doubt if it will end the day downI would say it has a better chance of hitting 70pjust a hunchlol and CHEAP to be launched any minutebut please take caution

tabby - your glasses are rather rose-tinted .... see 5 year chart below which is a somewhat fairer reflection on how this share has badly underperfomed since flotation
