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.

Nostra Terra Oil and Gas Company plc
("Nostra Terra" or the "Company")

LEGAL ACTION

9 August 2010

Nostra Terra Oil and Gas Company plc, (AIM: NTOG) confirms that it is pursuing
action in response to untrue and malicious statements about the Company's
activities and personnel that have been made repeatedly by certain posters on
the internet and, inter alia, via the online message boards of Interactive
Investor Trading Limited ("iii") and ADVFN plc ("ADVFN").

The majority of people posting comments on message boards do so, perfectly
legitimately, using pseudonyms. Under data protection and privacy laws, their
identity and other personal details must remain confidential unless a court of
law orders disclosure.

On 22 July 2010, Nostra Terra obtained an order from the High Court of Justice
instructing iii and ADVFN to provide information relating to several posters.

Both iii and ADVFN are cooperating fully on this matter, and the identities of
the posters covered by the court order have been established. The Company and
its legal advisers are now considering whether to instigate civil proceedings
for defamation against the identified posters, and further announcements will be
made as appropriate.

what on earth has that to do with BLNX or even that sector?
mind you, i guess to lynch or not to lynch falls in similar category!

btw, tabby, i reckon you know as much as me - aka fuck all! .... shorting at 68.5 was not a bad idea (previous all time high) and it remains to be seen whether or not the current level (or higher) can be maintained for at least a couple of days

Cynicyou either listen to somebody that is never wrongor you listen to somebody that is always wrongtough decisionso I will give you plenty of timehave a word with Toyashe seems to have more sense than most on here

BTWthe post above on Nostra Terra Oil and Gas Company plc was for the benefit of Peterwho needed an explanation as to conspiracy theoriesthats two today courtesy of Aldo.

i probably know the cheshire elf rather better than you and trust me (i wouldn't actually), she knows how to pick duds as well as the best of us!

in this instance, i can't remember exactly why i bought back into blnx, but almost certainly a blend of pure greed linked to sp momentum - not i am afraid to say, anything to do with your so-called pearls of wisdom

Cynicdont get me wrongI only really care about friends and familybut I wish all genuine investors the very best of luckpeople on here cant seem to grasp thatwhether any person on here believes what I post is not my concernI know the truthmy family knowand my friends knowif you dont believe me? I honestly dont give a shitI could retire tomorrow if my Wife would give her job upthe gang are the ones you should attackbut do as you pleaseI really dont give a shit

i hope your post makes sense to you, because it's gibberish to me ...... too much sauce at lunchtime?

Watching and thinking of adding to short. Would like to see shore capital move off of 67.5.

i don't think it's the greatest shorting idea i've ever seen though i understand your logic ..... books are evenly balanced for now

Cynic - looking for 55p short term - see it as a 1/3 risk reward at a better than 50% likelihood - so marginally profitable.

There's also a small chance that 55p won't hold in which case 30p would look likely for a very profitable trade.

On the downside I realise that this could gap up very easily - which is why I've only taken a small position.

Added @67.5. Shore bought too many and are now looking to sell @ 68, and bidding 64p.

much happier being short CNT, ASC and FOGL, the latter being a reasonable bet and also a hedge against my long RKH holding

Looked at ULVR?

double top forming and inverse head and shoulders.....if she does not break and stay above 70p then she could come back to earth with a bump

i think clubman works at M+S with tabby's missus....would make a lot of sense, they discuss blnx while filling the shelfs

so far, gausie has definitely got the initiative ..... sp challenged the old high and fell off it .... where next?
