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.

He seems brighter than the waiter!

Today

This is perhaps timely, bearing in mind the fuss over BLNX

http://money.cnn.com/2014/02/03/technology/hp-autonomy/index.html

An audit of Hewlett-Packard's Autonomy unit revealed that the software company grossly exaggerated its sales and profit before selling itself to HP for $11 billion in 2011.

The review of Autonomy's 2010 and 2011 financial documents, performed by Ernst & Young and filed with British regulators, shows for the first time the scope of the software company's accounting tricks. For example, one division of Autonomy overstated its 2010 revenue by 54% and its operating profit by 81%.

HP spokesman Michael Thacker called the accounting errors and misrepresentations "extensive."

In fact, that itself might be an understatement. HP's late-2012 discovery of Autonomy's accounting missteps in part led to a massive $8.8 billion writedown of the company.

One arm of Autonomy had understated its pretax loss, saying it was £22 million ($36 million) when it was actually £314 million ($513 million). Another part of Autonomy had overstated its pretax profit, claiming £43 million ($70 million) when in reality it had earned closer to £11 million ($19 million).

beware of taking this at face value .... HP bought a stinker and they're desperate to find a scapegoat other than their own management ..... where's the story behind their own due diligence when they bought Autonomy? ... who carried out that due diligence? ...... how come no misrepresentation or worse was found then?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financial-crime/10615362/Autonomy-profits-slashed-by-HP-accounts-restatement.html

Autonomy, the British software company accused of large-scale fraud following a takeover by HP, misstated profits by a factor of more than five, according to revised accounts.

so says HP, but has any action been taken against either the auditors who carried out the due diligence or against the directors of Autonomy?

It may affect Blnx tomorrow. The story is a current financial story in many places including the FT. I know it is an old story, but has reappeared everywhere today.

The new rf ? I like that !.......rf might stand for something else ?.....oh dear....dear oh dear....the knighthood's off,... the obe has been cancelled and the mbe is now looking very distant ....!...

big ouch!
i'm now out completely, not because i believe the story, but plainly the market has lost confidence, not only generally but specifically

do i now short?
maybe

I thought this was going to rise ...

well you/we guessed wrong :-)
meanwhile, even IG has closed its shorting book

The whole market is down...bleak at the moment...buying opportunity perhaps ?.....

quite tempted to take dow long, purely because even when trending south, it does not go in a straight line

You still reckon that chart looks bullish galactica ?

Shouldn't that be Battlestar ?...

I got some better names for him cynic but I'm too polite :-)
