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.

Am I the only one in on this hunch?...

Haystackyou are rightshort the arse.pleaseplease I beg you!

"Am I the only one in on this hunch?"

So you admit now that you're acting on a hunch? I thought you had it from the horse's mouth! Secret Squirrel and all that.

Dare I say it, Tabster, but you're beginning to sound very much like a ramper.

Is that like a pump, and dump person.

Sort of. Except that, from what I can figure out, Tabster pumps and dumps pineapples. Allegedly.

Hilaryas I saidjust a hunchask skinny if my hunches are usually rightthats the joys of being a lucky thickoas apposed to Gausiewho is a self-confessed big boyand is still fcuking useless!.Clubbybe carefulI have never wished you baddo I ever dump?not my style!

Tabby

As I said to your mrs round the back of M&S last week: I'm trembling. At the knees.

M&S have CCTV at the back of the store as well.

Keep it going Gausieshe was spot on about youlet the good people of AM judge you...

Tabby - You're going to make a complaint to MAM? that's hilarious!

It's you who's been banging on for maybe two years about my family. In your fantasy world you claim I go crying to mummy when things go wrong.

In our real world I say a thing or two about your family and you really do go crying to MAMmy.

What's the advice usually given to people who dish it out but can't take it? Perhaps you might consider a few moments of contemplation and introspection.

You couldn't make it up.

Mammy, mammy


I remember singing that song when I was a boy

Which Premier League footballer is this.

GausiePoint 1 my wife said let the people of AM judge youthe people that read your crapnot AM itself.like me she cannot believe a decent man would make such comments about a Women he knows nothing about.

Point 2.You have just written this It's you who's been banging on for maybe three years about my family.I have never written anything detrimental about your familyjust find me one postno chance!I have written that you have been financed by your Motheryour Mother is very nice to assist such an arseholebut I have said nothing bad about either your MotherFatherWifeSonin fact if you check I have been very nice towards themI feel sorry for them

So that others can see you are telling the truthplease post up any insults directed at your familyI have a feeling you will be finding some feeble excuse.but I urge others to take note....

Tabby

You keep banging on about how unfair it is for traders to post in 'your' room.

I'd like to remind you that your first post here was less than two years ago. I've been posting regularly in the Investors room since within an hour of MoneyAM's launch Interesting (and somewhat telling) that you now think you own the place.
