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.

tabby - the dubai fiasco has been brewing for a year or more ..... expats' abandoned cars at the airport said it all

halifax, my little shoddy maker, surely you do not hold these

There is a big difference with a few chancers legging it when the property market started to declineDubai World have $59bn of liabilities for startersUAE aint standing behind the debtpanic sets ininvestors pull money outBanks struggle with fundingFFS it has happened all over the World this last two yearsbut Dubai looked safe

dope!
the expats leaving weren't "chancers", but generally speaking they were employees whose companies folded or whose contracts were terminated
construction work in dubai has been at a total standstill for the last year or more

"When the market collapsed and the emirates once-booming economy started to slow down, many expatriates were left owning several homes and unable to pay the mortgages without credit.

There were a lot of people living the high life, investing in real estate and a lifestyle they couldnt afford, one senior banker said.

Under Sharia, which prevails in Dubai, the punishment for defaulting on a debt is severe. Bouncing a check, for example, is punishable with jail. Those who flee the emirate are known as skips".

Better known by myself as chancers...and dope is something chancers tend to take!

cynic BLNX is yet another "jam tomorrow" share, hope you don't hold.

HalifaxI am an investorJam tomorrow is ok with meI have waited for jam many timesand when it comes there has always been a nice blob of cream on topthose traders that need stakes to beat each other up on a daily basis are no good to the companyand no good to the sp.I have followed blnx for a good period of timewithout being temptedI became tempted at a good priceand a good timeI am happy to wait for the treat

Shoddy - me hold? ..... not bloody likely .... and tabasco is just churning out press comment without first-hand knowledge

CynicI am not going to have first hand knowledgeI dont fly!and with you and Peter frequenting the placeyou are probably going to portray a biased handlewhat position were/are you two in?
What I have continually read paints a different picture chancers with a little clout getting stungand running for their livesprivately educated Arthur Daley'sthere were obviously a few genuine employees whose companies folded and whose contracts were terminatedbut they would not leave several homes and Mercs at the airport?come on get real the $59bn is another storyand one which is far more worryingjust a starter imo

peter is in the navy and i am in the chemical transportation business, so neither of us has any axe to grind .....
i would greatly doubt that more than a handful of those who left had "several homes" ...... those employees who bought houses there would no doubt have done it in the expectation of being there a good many years ...... cars are a necessity
as for the end of the world being nigh as you imply, well i would doubt it greatly

Cynicyou have the greater first hand knowledge of Dubaibut I take your nom de plume when Bankers and Politicians speaklet time be the judge

Must be a new United Kingdom and all comers record for blnx... 180,900 shares traded in the last 23 market hoursis everyone sitting on the fence?

I make that an average of 12-58 traded every hour.mind-blowingthat fence must way a ton

For what it's worth,Shares rate Blinkx as one of their top software bets.

A good mention that cant do any harm Chess

blinkx Partners With WWF to Bring Users Live Footage From the Copenhagen Climate
Summit


Clue in to the climate conversation at www.blinkx.com


SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. - December 7, 2009 - blinkx, the world's largest and most
advanced video search engine, today announced a new partnership with the WWF's
Inside COP15. Between December 7th and 19th, up-to-the-minute footage from the
Copenhagen Climate Summit will be available at www.blinkx.com. Leveraging its
unique AdHoc platform, blinkx will also place contextually relevant advertising
against these videos, and share resulting advertising revenue with Inside COP15.


Inside COP15 was created by WWF to deliver live, on-demand video news coverage
of the Copenhagen Climate Summit in Copenhagen, Denmark. The conference will
bring together world leaders, civil society, negotiators, and concerned citizens
to agree on a new global climate deal. Inside COP15 will produce more than an
hour of video news, interviews, and debates each day to keep the global
community updated on all conference affairs. Visitors to www.blinkx.com will
have easy access to all the latest-breaking Copenhagen Climate Summit news.


"In building up the most comprehensive video search engine available today,
blinkx has had the pleasure of adding some of the world's most interesting and
diverse video footage to our index," said Suranga Chandratillake, founder and
CEO, blinkx. "Inside COP15's clips serve as a perfect example. Our partnership
with the WWF gives users unable to make it to Copenhagen a window into a
fortnight of important debate aimed at protecting the future of our planet."


"Inside COP15 is a major step forward for WWF to engage new audiences and I'm
delighted to be partnering with blinkx to reach as many people as possible,"
said Martin Atkin, WWF's Executive Producer. "Our online video blog - live and
on-demand - will enable people all over the world to feel part of these crucial
climate talks in Copenhagen."

Wonder why it is BLNX feel the need to issue a RNS for this trivial stuff? It's a bit like any other company issuing a RNS for selling a few items of whatever.
