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 trying to piss against the wind" - those were the days - memories eh!

The market doesnt always win............if that was the case how do you account for funds who measure their out performance against the market???????????????????

Make no wonder you dont trade anymore Hays, you must have been a consistent loser.

Don't be more obtuse than you normally are. We are talking about individual stocks that will end up at their real value.

Ohhhhhh stop talking nonsense. You said the MARKET always wins.

Your talking bollox as per usual.

And if individual stocks ended up at their real value wed be looking at NAV and a FTSE 100 at 3400.

You do talk some tripe at time Hays make no wonder Master RSI is running rings around you here and hes a total numpty for gods sake.

Shall we cut out the personal stuff Goldfinger and Haystack and get back on the subject of Blinkx, the company and its share price or lack of it.

one final and succinct if i may ....
individual shares can easily out or underperform the market as a whole

Will do Bullshare apologies but please have a look at poster galatica aka panto, hes the poster MasterRSI who you have banned under 2 names in the last 2 months and as brought the thread into disruption.

"I have always thought goldfinger was a wonderful person and so pleasant, intelligent, probably good looking, friendly and an all round good egg". This medication does strange things to you.

Bullshare for your attention......... I know when Ive been warned.

Best to keep personal comments and banter to non stock threads.

Commenting on the Ben Eldeman negative blog post


Blackrock manager Ralph Cox said last week: “What we have learned is they are not doing anything illegal or wrong and a lot of their historic acquisitions are no longer key parts of the business.”

What specific acquisitions apart from Zango?

Is that the case of the professor blog post?

There is a technology investment conference today in the US. Blinkx is being covered at the end of the day. The punters on iii, LSE, ADVFN are assuming comments that will make the sp fly tomorrow. I can't see that happening. A more robust rebuttal of Edelman's comments by Blinkx and more openness of their methods might help but even that may not be enough. Their fallback position is that the trading update scheduled for next Monday 17 Feb will make this soar. I have doubts about that as well as Edelman is not disputing their good results. The criticism is about how they got them.

my f-in-l used to say, "Never present the anvil to the hammer"

as has been said before, i'ld be surprised if BLNX management do other than to shrug off the inevitable Qs about Edelman, saying along the lines that is all now in the hands of SFA and to allow the results to do the talking

It is a beguiling metaphor, but Edelman is still commenting and this will continue to depress the price.

I am not sure what the Scottish Football Association can really do. I know the whole thing has been referred to the FCA.

empty vessels make the most noise and it would be incredibly stupid of BLNX management to lower itself to respond more than it has

psst .... try FSA!

FSA is no more. It has been split into the FCA and PRA about a year ago.

Cyners are you still long here?
