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.

now you are up, please see post 947 on the BP thread

Clubby UK tax demand 2009 / 2010 a big fat 0 No CGT, no death duties, No NI HOW ABOUT THAT CLINIC

You really just don't get it, Tabster, do you? The fact is that being EBITDA positive means naff all. Do you really think that all that interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation can be brushed under the carpet and forgotten about? You might be impressed by their bullsh!t, but their bankers will sure as hell see through it.

The fact is that, if you bother to remove your rose-tinted specs, Blinkx LOST over 8m last year. They lost a similar amount the year before and, more worryingly, their cash at bank is diminishing on an ongoing basis at a similar rate. Within 18 months or two years at the most, they will either be out of cash completely or will have had to complete a dilutive rescue rights issue. Their only other option is to pull a massive rabbit out of the hat and, until they start announcing new deals with some substance which actually talk money, the magic rabbit looks to be some way off. News about deals involving cooking clips is just smoke and mirrors.

As for their technology, I don't see what's so great about it. Their profile is minimal and they've got near-zero branding. Kids are a great barometer of internet branding, and my kids said "whoooooooo" when I asked them about Blinkx. I don't believe that Google would be interested in them for one second, because they could replicate the technology themselves at a fraction of the cost.

In the meantime, please keep buying. It will give me something decent to sell.

As I said yesterday, over-valued, over-hyped, jam-tomorrow trash.

Tabby get out of BLNX today big fall Thursday Interim Results22/07/2010 Autonomy Corporation Plc (AU.) big sell off.

my younger son works in digital advertising, so i wonder if he has any industry feel for this company .... obviously he has heard of it

Bullshit he works down the market selling old Amstrad products.

Hilarydont need to keep buyingbacked a gut feeling @12p and have never looked back.promise me this.when either of us are proven wrong we have the decency to post a apology and sorry note on this threadthat would excite me!deal?

I never have issues with acknowledging when I make a wrong judgement call, Tabster, but then I don't claim to be perfect. Btw, when do you intend to apologise in respect of the disaster that is called Meldex?

Tabby,my credo is, "It's what I know that counts,not what anybody else thinks."
Don't let them wind you up.

Ongoing fraud caseand unlike the gang I never advise people to buyDYOR and be thorough!even in the racing industry I never advisejust present the infounlikesellsellmove on.2p finished1p move onsellfearmoveblah blah blah!


And yes I am perfect if you judge me against traders

ChessI am use to fighting many peoples battlesnature of the beast Im afraidbut of course you are correct.

Short selling is a philosophy that I could never embrace. It's a bit like a load of vultures trying to pick out a sick animal to attack.
I guess it must be all right though if you are a Vulture! An acquired taste ??

emotionally i find it damned difficult to do too .... silly really

The rumours I have received from a reliable source is that there is going to be an attempt to force this down over the next week or twoexpect it down todayhope Im wrongon the plus side the company have caught them out beforeand are very very discreet with their newssome might trade on thispersonally I would not be out of this stock for five minuteswe know there is big news coming CHEAPif there was a hint of interest from one of the big boyswhoooooooosh!

so far today it is +1p, but it really is almost impossible to determine fair value here

Chessthe sad thing isthe animal can be very healthy as wellthey dont discriminate fcuking up a good businessread Traders Guns and MoneySatyajit Das if you havent alreadykinda sums up the state we are in at the moment

Nonsense! Short sellers never fcuked up a business that hadn't already been fcuked up by its directors!

almost true, though one does get "rogues" that disprove the point

Short selling can make you big money especially if you can short at the time of a world disaster. I made thousands at 9/11, London bombings, Madrid bombing. Some would not have the guts but many do.

of course you did
who would doubt your word?
