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.

Morals are set by the heart imo

Looks like short sellers trying to get outI do hope Hilary is up? wakey...wakey...

may have to start a morality thread soon ....

meantime, while to some extent the individual sets his own morals, it is society at large that sets morals for society - e.g. the reintroduction of hanging, drawing and quartering by way of birching, flogging, hanging, deportation etc

perhaps my posts also fall into the same category as late-lamented bear baiting!

Morals are usually set by your parents.

I wonder sometimes, if some knew them.

prejudice is set by parents; moral guidance should be, but nowadays is seemingly less so ..... as one gets older and starts to think (some of us anyway), those guidelines may shift, either through personal choice and/or through peer pressure and environment

Cynicsorry to disagree with you all daybut you have just given out the punishments for bad moralswe dont need a law to tell us it is wrong to rape and killthe heart tells you thatafter all nature moves on without policing or laws?

Morals and prejudices are often confused by those of differing opinions.


Either can changed, modified or reversed, if the individuals have the flexibility to review and sometimes then the courage to change.

Think of abortion and the abortionists and the changes over a 40year period.

Public "horror" changed to public "acceptance".

(Of the abortionist and the product of abortion.)

we are highjacking this thread ..... that is morally wrong :-)) .... more than happy to continue the discussion if one of you wants to start a relevant thread

FredI live by one easy ruleDo unto others as you would have others do unto you. [Matthew 7:12]and I am not the slightest bit religious

This threads getting a bit heavy today


You very rarely see robins holding up a sparrow's nest wearing a mask and askinggive us all your worms or your dead?they build their own nestforage to feed their younghave no greedno jealousy or no help!.no policeno lawsno problemsnature will only usually kill for foodExcept for cuckoos

cuckoos?

He [ Fred ] is only on this thread because everybody on the Talk to yourself thread doesn't speak to him.

I know.its just how I am?

Tabasco - tell that to foxes. They will happily kill ten chickens or pheasants for sport and just take one for food. My dog will kill pigeons as a bid of fun as well. That's all just in my garden.

Oh ffs not another thread Fred the Shred is going to invade and ruin or perhaps he is a BLNX expert.

The biggest killer of sheep are pet dog's running wild who kill not for food .

Cynic,

I agree.

I made a flippant remark and you responded.

But do check your own record of postings.

I only popped in for a moment or two, in order to watch Blinx.

Ald, Nice to know you got home from school.

Isaacs/AldoI believe foxes multiple kill because they expect to keep coming back for the foodI might be wrongI had two very tame pet ducksadorable! a fox got into their secured home and killed bothonly took one awayI now leave food for the foxes and they leave my other wildlife alonechickens are one stroppy birdthey will attack my dog or strangers no problemwith pet cats and dogs there must be a reason ... the hunting instinct from years gone by...the human interventiononly nature knows?
