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.

One piece of bad news and this will sink like a stone.

on the other hand, one bit of good news would be the egypt/gaza smuggling tunnels collapsing, and even better if fred was interred at the same time .... my goodness i hope he stays on holiday for at least 6 months; it's bliss

hayseed - why don't you go to join your guru?

I am not a fan of Fred.

Could be another step up for the sp here as it seems to be very volatile.

To squeeze or not to squeeze.

So Hilary thinks anything up to 90p.Big Boy Gausie thinks 30p..haystack thinks 3p and Trigwell Trig finds it hard to think.I see why traders are so fcuking useless.anywhere between 3p and 90p.and I still think they are miles out ..

Cynic - Do you think Grubby and Fred will be best mates? Nahhh me neither, could be interesting :O)

Get out of the wife's close Chrissie, she will back from her cleaning duties soon.

Just listening to jewberg news, Gay marriage will soon be legal in the USA.

Man widowed after his goat 'wife' chokes to death

A man who married a goat was in mourning today after his wife died when she swallowed a plastic bag.
Charles Tombe shot to fame last year when he tied the knot with Rose.
A court ordered him to marry the beast "to save her honour" after he was caught making amorous advances toward the mother-of-one in the middle of the night.

I think this goat was rather too good looking for CM's standards ..
