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.

not really, though very happy that i topped up just a week or so ago

Such strength in this stock....is it a suitor accumulating?...BLNX are best in breed and still very cheap for a Yahoo or Aol?....solid buying.

friday's volume was huge, but today, it's back to normal .... clearly, selling is limited

I've taken a bit of profit today to top up on gold.

gold? i think you're bonkers .... the indians can't and won't buy because of the weak irp, and they are traditionally major consumers

Two fund managers to swerve.....position for over 12 months....wow!

Not looked in since post 4639 ... and regards Barry I stand by what I said and I said it enough times to him on advfn ... he knowingly floated a pile of shite and made a mint out of it as a shareholder then as a consultant then as the one and only saviour of the company !!!

Was full of shite and that judge had him sussed big time.

Regards

A nice rise this morning. I wonder if there might be some bid speculation .

Hi Chess....that was a bit of luck?...

Dil....hope you are well....you are a hard man....nobody should suffer the grief of BM....you have your views but he was no different to many other successful businessman?

Try a little research into the real villain of MDX....still on the legal run...still up to his old tricks...still one step ahead of the law.....

so who's short here, or has whoever already been vaporised?

cynic Icarus is dead, like our parrot!

Maybe time to be short.

rather a silly and glib comment don't you think hays, given that it flies in the face of a strong upgrade from goldman, that the share has progressed steadily for months, and much more importantly, you never ever short!

cynic noticeable that the "vampire squid" has been making some outrageous upgrades recently, maybe getting ready to pull the plug ahead of the anticipated correction.

Sold out, figs well in the price IMO now.

Cynic ....Strawman and Elephant Man have been calling this a short from the 30p days....Strawman posted on every BB available...he cost many investors a great deal of money....and he is still at it!....what a James Hunt!....Elephant Man has his comfort blanket....his mum...

We all know a stopped clock is correct once a day...that's the best he can hope for....as for the other traders on here....Halifax et al will always be Joe Average...you have to have that edge/knowledge/balls to make big bucks...they fall well short.....sure you can take some off the table..I have a very large table but I am looking at £5....£10....and £20 before I pull the plug....

A lot more to come....

I never could understand those two. It's like they were on a different planet, or perhaps came from one !

Good timing eh, correct to the day! Posted at the end of the day before it fell.

Maybe time to be short.

don't be a muppet ..... nothing goes up in a straight line, but feel free to short

What was that? nothing goes down in a straight line.
