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.

Where is Master RSI ?????????.

Hope he hasnt topped himself.

Why ?


:-)

And I'll repeat from yesterday.

"Needs to take out 140.5 resistance to make any bullish case as the daily chart below shows. 125 is best guess at support however this has yet to be tested.." Looks like it'll test today,,,, :-)

Dialog was a search technology that was involved in a reverse takeover by MAID that overstated their results with lots of smoke and mirrors.

They were shorted down to 0p.

They went bust, called in the receivers and sold off dialog , which still exists www.dialog.com

All sounds a bit familiar.

Blinkx may have been trading at a vast premium but profitable they still are. I currently see no reason why they would go bust. This is an overvalued business in my eyes and nothing more..

I was thinking mainly of Autonomy and slightly of Blinkx.

Oh ok, sorry Hays

However, Dialog was profitable. It kept buying more businesses by raising money and issuing shares. It was attempting to buy revenue. In the end the revenue collapsed and so did the company.

Here's where I put support/resistance and trend lines.

I wonder if tabby died through self inflicted pineapple injuries?

Dialog ...... kept buying more businesses by raising money and issuing shares ...... which bears no resemblance whatsoever to BLNX!

That well known AIM business model!

cynic
I thought that was exactly what Blinks does.

3/12/13

acquire Rhythm NewMedia Inc. ("Rhythm"), a leading premium mobile video advertising technology platform focused exclusively on smartphones and tablets, for a total consideration of US$65.0 million (£39.7 million) (the "Acquisition"). The cash component of the Acquisition consideration of c.US$29.5 million (£18.0 million) will be funded through the Company's cash balances and proceeds from the placing (the "Placing") announced separately today, with the remainder through the issue of new ordinary shares of the Company.

Alot depends on profitability, nothing wrong with aggressive growth if your profitable. If on the other hand your mearly 'Stanelking' your business through it's a different story.

(m)any more?

Shortie - some light reading on 'that' company - Stanelco

Thanks Skinny, to be fair though I need investors that are happy to buy overvalued stock trading on multiple times what they earn and then some more... In the same sense as not all rampers are bad, they help elevate the platform to be shorted from...

Well support seams to be holding, I'm debating a long position to 140 as per my earlier chart..

Shortie - care to point out ANY chart where a long black day like we had last week does not have the low revisited within the next few weeks? Hen's teeth.

Gausie - My answer to your question is no... The reason being like you said 'revisited within the next few weeks'... I'm looking at trading now, not in a few weeks..
