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.

I dont know Cynicwhen she sees it Riesling she goes wild

You are right again Cynic, very classy lady, Clubby has no class, but he does have millions in reddies, Bentley turbo, Ferrari Enzo, and many more collectors edition cars, five houses and villas, and my new Sunseeker in Mallorca.

Who wants tips for Black Friday

yeah yeah yeah .... and you can only afford the petrol in one and that's because you fly with cheap airlines!

tabby - shows what you don't know! .... go and read up about riesling and then report back

Why is Qatar a cheap airline, it is one of the best out of Bangkok the other is Emirates numnuts office boy, sorry director or is that director of the ice cream van.

why is Qatar a cheap airline? ..... cos it can't command better rates!

OK know all tell me the best airline out of Bangkok to London

Perhaps she prefers it droopling?

I would love to know the company name that cynic claims he is a director of to trounce his bullshit claims, all info can be sent in strict confidence to clubman3509@hotmail.com or my ladyboy friend chrissiecarson@hotmail.co.uk

Cynicyou are as fcuking stupid as mebut not as stupid...keyboard jammed?

ah well, a couple of people on this BB know, and my ponce's numberplate on my tart's car gives the game away, but you're too chicken to meet up to find out ..... i suppose i could arrange to have you collected from your chelsea pad tomorrow and driven down to wentworth.

in truth, we're just a medium-size privately-owned company linked to the chemical and shipping industries, with a niche market that deals with the oilfield services ..... but we do make a very respectable profit, even in y/e 31/12/09 which is more than many public companies can say

tabby - of course i'm stupid, but at least i know it and admit same

tosspot - never been to bkk, and if i did, it would almost certainly be via s'pore rather than dubai or doha or mumbai or whatever

Yeh sure you are my boy. Nothing wrong being working class. My parents were.

My mate Duncan started with one ice cream van now he is worth 400 million granted he had many of his rivals eliminated, or put out of business. That is where us street wiseguys beat you public school pricks hands down. Most of your types are as thick as fuck.

As far as meeting you, it would not be very wise especially on your part, would have to give you some happy slapping.

Cynictell me you aint got a private number plateplease.you have lost all street cred.
