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.

Hay is rob the pot or the kettle?

Both

Well they seem to be doing all right out of it, low end or not.

That was a lovely ride up. Have now reversed back to short.

Morning all….nice to be back....

All sold in less than an hour for 120p…and guess what?...Goldman done the deed…lol…
LONDON (Reuters) - Software company Autonomy, owned by U.S. computer maker Hewlett-Packard Co., said on Tuesday it sold its remaining stake in video search engine group Blinkx Plc.
Autonomy said it sold 45.7 million Blinkx shares at a price of 120 pence per share, in a deal valued at 54.84 million pounds ($84.48 million)….

The sale, which was at a 5 percent discount to Blinx's closing price on Tuesday, was carried out via an accelerated offering to institutional investors, run by Goldman Sachs. ($1 = 0.6492 British pounds)

Notice the big rise yesterday…notice the last post on this thread? He’s always swinging the wrong way …ouchhhhhh!….

That twat Elephant Man and his sidekick Strawman never get anything right…lol..listen to Tabasco and learn…£AM …when are you also going to listen…those two are a liability…comply or die!!!

Rob....spot on!

Goldfinger....always spot on!

don't be such an arrogant prick!

Morning Cynic...That’s my job…

I will never dislike you…so you can say what you like…love you..

no, it's most definitely not your job to constantly deride

a more interesting observation might have been as to % 45.7m shares represents and whether or not this holding was perhaps being warehoused for a single potential other entity

Cyners…I run my show….I wouldn’t dream of trying to run your show…those other two are the baddies…I like shooting baddies…lol

The drop to under 120p is a classic move by the mm’s to remove money from the baddies and give it to me…that’s life? ….end of today = 126p

your arrogance is almost unsurpassed!
this thread is absolutely NOT your show; it is the property of all the members here

Cyners… hochkomma… you misunderstand…I don’t claim this to be my thread…there are many good posters on here!!

I have tried to help people from the days of 12p…others on here have equally tried to help…the other two twats are small time traders that swing there view to match their position…they have constantly lost money on this little beauty…and a lot of it…go back and check….

….remember the “Royal Flush”….remember the fights with some nasty words spoken about my family….i do

I think about it every time I count my cash…which does take some time! Toddle pip!

"that’s life? ….end of today = 126p"

Seems to be heading the other way!

Plenty of institutions mopping up the shares.Autonomy needed the cash. Very few last the distance on a growth story like Blnx! Read A Bolton's book

did mike lynch and the ceo need the money when they sold a stack of shares recently?

halifax…I never realized you done stand-up….the Doctor has all the brains from AU. plus Aurasma in a nice little Cambridge office…Suranga is also in the mix…they are minted…do you think they give two shits about the city? Do you remember ML/SC sold just before the 2010 May results…BLNX was marked down…no need to tell you what happened in May…lol nice try..............

Don’t forget the city valued AU. a lot less…connections to Goldman got stung badly when short on the HP deal…the Doctor knows how to play these sharks…

This will be £2+ minimum by end of the year.

I don't claim to understand a lot of the technical bull shit going on , but this one is a winner . Any body who thinks otherwise must have their head stuck in te HAY/

Sitting on a support level. A drop from here could take it down to maybe 95p. So much for tabby's prediction of 126p by end of day the other day.

haystack....Do you feel like a spanner?....i'm never wrong!

You were wrong two days ago when you predicted 126p by the end of the day and what is it today? - 109p. Do you want to make a prediction for Monday's close?
