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.

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

Cynicmy glasses are solid goldI choose to make a large investment at 12pmy assessment was that blnx are extremely good valueI was prepared to hold until fundamentals showed contrary to this viewthe pace at which this company is charging ahead with organic growth tells me that 65p is chicken feedI am not a financial advisorbut tried to hint on this thread for some time this is not a normal Dot.Com. Companya potential life changing investmentand the lucky lad came good the management team are excellentno leaks!and overseen by the Magical DoctorDYORand Cynicnot forgetting the FTSE hit 3500 during that period

i wasn't really having a dig but just pointing that until now, this share has been something of a disaster - almost unmitigated in fact ..... it is also true to say that only a few months ago (i think) they came very close to going belly up ..... for ease, taking 15p as a buying "opportunity", one could have done so on any number of occasions from late 2007

Cynicre- it is also true to say that only a few months ago (i think) they came very close to going belly up

Please show me were you received that informationI would say that statement is total bo**ocksbut look forward to be proven wrong

from memory it was stated or at least implied in the long Quantum Leap article of 8th July ..... QL's final comment (sp then 33.5) was that BLNX was a good if pretty speculative buy ..... btw, in the same issue QL also recommended SGP which has performed stunningly since ..... those were the only 2 companies written up in that issue

CynicI doubt if myself /helpers have missed many articles on blnx for a long long timewe cant recall your one?also you use the word impliedI think that has very little foundation..............
suggest? guess?maybe?who the fcuk knows?.I could go on?


One other point.analyst and SP dont often reflect realityit is after all just an opiniontake Rajeev Bahl of Piper Jaffray fcuking clueless
For my sins I do a certain amount of odds compiling in the racing industryI like to think I am thoroughbelieve me trade paper prices can vary tremendouslysomeone is rightsomeone is wrong?I tend to be lucky?

delighted for you .... you asked a question so i answered it .... you don't care for what i wrote; well that's your prerogative

Cynicno need to get eggythat was just a bit of a shock and I have disregarded the claimbut for the recordI do listen to what you postdont always agreebut believe you to be honestquite a rarity around here?

Now now girls stop kissing each others ass

And stop upsetting my Palestinian friend..

Since meeting Cynic I feel half jewish now.

nice to see some humour on here .... you should know by know i very very rarely get genuinely upset, even with that white supremacist geezer

Tabby is on his way to his second million today. My first five were the hardest Tabby then it is easy peasy.

I can tell you the city boys including my son in law didn't have a clue about blinkx
