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.

Must have been Harrow, Eton does not accept 4by2s

Well done Clubbyanother trader has lost 900...and you have helped the Government I dont mind traders beat each other up I also had +5% today without a fight.
Interestingly I have had three buys on asm this week in two different accountsonly one has shown upand as a sell? strange?

who on earth told you that?
i didn't go to either of the above, but eton is actually a damn good school and surprisingly egalitarian, all of which gets overlooked by those who like to slag it off from ignorance

Short BLNX for now

Clubbydo you honestly think that is sound advice?particularly as you were suggesting same when blnx were on a juicy 12pI would suggest your advice is X ratedand readers would do better in buying your films if risk is their adrenalin?

Day trading punt. Made 800 Friday shorting BLNX no position at the moment.

Try buying, I think that you will find it more lucrative.

Shorting works for me

clubby's right if you get the call and timing right ..... when stocks take fright, they fall like a brick but, except on rare occasions, only rise like balloons

Timing is not easy but a stock like BLNX is destined to fall. Tbby forgets to mention the timeline BLNX fell from 66 to 10 and there are others working on the same technology.

Crap.Obviously you wear not in on the 400% price hike

CynicI have been punting stocks for yearsgamblers are attracted to volatile movementactionadrenalininstant results I am a Bookmakernot reckless and not a gambler!!
I have well researched strong opinions which I act on with zero fear!...If I wanted to short a stockwhich I never doI could name many more interesting than blnx I do lay/short indexesHorsesand special bets

No, but neither was in on the 600% drop

i agree re BLNX ..... made a bit of money here and banked it, but certainly would not go short ..... FOGL is a diff animal entirely; as for MATD, am out for now, but again wouldn't dare short - actually prob not possible as MM stock only
