Video search engine blinkx has launched a video content management service, which attempts to solve the myriad problems surrounding online video processing and delivery.
Media companies already using the service include Conde Nast's business publication Portfolio and personal finance magazine Kiplinger's.
"There is a clear need for a scalable solution that addresses the challenges inherent in managing videos dispersed across different platforms and in various formats," said blinkx founder and CEO Suranga Chandratillake.
In essence, the new Advanced Media Platform automates the process of determining how content is discovered, indexed, distributed, presented and consumed on a publisher's site.
Blinkx can identify and extract video assets from any storage system or packaging, online or offline. Its conceptual recognition engine technology then makes it possible for media owners to search, discover and organize these assets based on their meaning, and for viewers to access these videos across different platforms, languages and formats.
In addition, the platform's SEO component attempts to capture new audiences, while a search and discovery functionality engages and retains them.
Leveraging blinkx's contextual online video advertising platform, AdHoc, the company is able to place relevant ads against video content, resulting in higher monetization for content owners and a non-disruptive experience for audiences.
Today, there are huge numbers of viewers searching the Web for content. A recent study from the Solutions Research Group revealed a significant increase in people viewing prime-time programming online over the past year. Nearly 80 million Americans--43% of the online population--have watched one of their favorite shows on the Internet, according to SRG--up significantly from 25% a year ago.
Since its launch in 2004, blinkx has been developing an efficient, scalable way to search the millions of hours of video now flooding the Web. To date, blinkx's video search engine has found, qualified and indexed more than 18 million hours of online TV and video.
It has done this by supplementing existing video search methods by transcribing the words spoken in videos, and searching them, using speech recognition technology.
Blinkx presently licenses its technology to over 80 partners, including Microsoft, MTV, British news broadcaster ITN, and Reuters.
Blinkx, the video search firm that recently retooled as a Web TV play, is adding yet another line of business. The company is licensing what it calls its Advanced Media Platform to publishers to manage video search, insert advertising, and target users with relevant video. The first customers for the service, derived from Blinkx's search technology, includes Kiplingers', WallStreet.net, and Conde Nast's Portfolio.com.
Blinkx CEO Suranga Chandratillake sees a growing niche among publishers which are quickly adopting video, but lack the tools to organize and deliver it to consumers. Blinkx already powers video search for IAC's Ask.com and Lycos. But despite the forays into various business-to-business services, Blinkx's model remains, at its core, based on showing video ads to consumers.
Last month it introduced its own very Joost-like Internet TV service (albeit with amazing search features) called BBTV. Suffice to say, Blinkx is looking down every possible avenue for revenue to avoid the fate of Joost, which also has impressive technology but few users. Blinkx raised $50 million in May 2007, a sum Chandratillake says is sufficient to reach profitability next year.
Blinkx has decided to package and sell parts of the technology it has developed over time for its video search engine, in an attempt to capitalize on the rapidly increasing amount of online video.
As they create and license more and more video content, Web publishers need software to categorize, organize and index their clips and make them easily searchable by their sites' visitors, a Blinkx executive said.
"We can help you do that. We've taken a lot of the technology we've built for video search, turned it into components and launched it as a platform," said Suranga Chandratillake, Blinkx's CEO and founder.
Called AMP (Advanced Media Platform), the Blinkx platform consists of four packages that can work in tandem or as stand-alone components, he said.
One piece is designed for handling video content and includes the search functionality and a feature to match and link the publisher's videos with its text articles.
Another component adds an element of community, suggesting relevant videos to users based on their previous choices and on clips' overall popularity.
A third product automates the categorization of clips in the video library by generating a taxonomy based on the videos included.
Finally, AMP also contains technology for doing search engine optimization (SEO) to the video clips so that they will be more fully and accurately indexed by the likes of Google and Yahoo. When doing SEO on the clips, AMP goes beyond simply using their metadata by applying Blinkx's speech-to-text technology and generating a text transcript of what is said during each video.
AMP is available now and Blinkx will sell it in two versions: as conventional software that customers can implement on their premises and as hosted sofware-as-a-service.
Pricing varies widely based on how many components are bought and how they are used, but it ranges from the tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Already some sites are planning to implement AMP, including Conde Nast's business publication Portfolio, personal finance magazine Kiplinger's and financial news site WallSt.net, Chandratillake said.
UK smallcap opening - Blinkx rises on 60 pence-a-share bid talk

LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Blinkx (LSE: BLNX.L - news) , spun out of software developer Autonomy a year ago, was among best-performing (Advertisement)
small caps, rising 9-1/4 pence to 34-1/4 amid talk of a 60 pence-a-share takeover, possibly by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. Sources say he is likely to face competition from Google (NASDAQ: GOOG - news) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT - news) .
On Thursday, Blinkx launched its new online video indexing technology, and is thought to be considering a Nasdaq (NASDAQ: news) listing for its shares.
Buying ahead of full-year results, scheduled for next Friday, lifted Freedom4 Communications, the old Pipex Communications (LSE: FFC.L - news) , 0.09 to 1.62.
Meanwhile, Blinkx (LSE: BLNX.L - news) shares softened in afternoon trade, but still closed up 6-1/2 pence at 31-1/2, as the company moved to quash recent bid rumours by saying it 'is not aware of any external bids or bid-related reason' for the recent rise in its share price.
Earlier in the day the market reacted positively to rumours circulating of an impending 60 pence-a-share offer, possibly by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. Sources say he is likely to face competition from Google (NASDAQ: GOOG - news) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT - news) .

Rumors have surfaced that Blinkx, the UK-based video search engine, is about to be acquired. According to Reuters, the rumors are significant enough to push shares of the company up as much as 50% today on the London Stock Exchange, though it appears they have since cooled.
The usual suspects – Google, Yahoo, and News Corp – are all said to be interested. It seems like Yahoo would be the most logical fit, as Blinkx’s search technology would be a nice compliment to the recently acquired Maven Networks, which is focused on video advertising. Google of course already has its own huge video offering (YouTube) while News Corp, through MySpace, is a distant #2 in online video.
Blinkx has scored a fairly impressive list of partners for which it powers online video search, including Ask.com, Real Networks, and National Geographic. The company went public last summer.
video search engine BLNKF flies on google merger talks
LONDON (Reuters) - Shares of British video search engine firm Blinkx surged 50 percent to a seven-month high on Friday, on talk that Internet giant Google and media conglomerate NewsCorp may bid for the firm.
The shares were up to 36.75 pence at 5:53 a.m. EDT (0953 GMT), their highest level since September, valuing the firm at around 102 million pounds ($199.2 million).
Blinkx, founded in 2004 by Sri Lanka-descended Briton Suranga Chandratillake, floated on London's junior AIM market in May 2007 following a merger with another UK search engine firm, Autonomy.
The speculation may have come in anticipation of a May 24 expiry of a clause which stipulates that $50 million should be paid to Autonomy in the event of a buyout within a year of its initial share sale, IPO filings show.
Blinkx may also be a target because of its technology and its strong consumer focus, said Piper Jaffray analyst Rajeev Bahl.
Talk of a bid "does not sound ridiculous," he said. "If there were to be a bid, the main search engine companies like Google and Yahoo would be sensible bidders. Blinkx have got very intelligent search engine technology and a number of licensees."
Officials at all three companies were not immediately available for comment.
More people visited Blinkx-linked videos by weekly market share than Google's UK service, data compiled by third party reporting agencies like comScore, Hitwise and Quantcast showed in November.

blinkx Content Correlation Engine Automatically Turns Readers into Viewers, Boosting Publisher Asset Revenue »
8 May 2008
Media companies who boast large audiences that primarily read textual articles on their sites are now able to automatically drive that audience towards higher revenue yielding TV and video content
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. – May 08, 2008 – blinkx, the world’s largest and most advanced video search engine, today announced the availability of the blinkx Content Correlation Engine, an extension of blinkx’s Advanced Media Platform. blinkx Content Correlation Engine utilizes blinkx’s patented technology and will allow media companies that today attract some of the largest and most profitable online audiences to automatically match textual and video assets on every single page of their websites, seamlessly morphing readers into viewers, in order to drive massively increased revenues.
The proliferation of broadband has driven a strong and growing market for publishers that own and product video assets. Average online video advertisement Cost Per Mille (CPM) rates are often an order of magnitude greater than equivalent textual banner advertisements and this effect is most pronounced when the publisher of the content is a popular, trusted brand. As a result many publishers who have strong brands built on offline and online text content are increasingly producing online video as a method to drive new and faster-growing advertising revenues. In the past four years, brands that have begun this approach include The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, Forbes Magazine, BusinessWeek Magazine and many others.
The production of online video is, however, just the first step. Existing audiences who currently predominantly read text articles must then be converted to start to watch video content; changing readers into viewers. As that audience today spends the majority of its time on text articles, placing highly relevant video content, inline within text articles is a critically effective strategy in initiating the reader to viewer conversion process. Existing blinkx AMP customers are already adopting the Content Correlation Engine.
blinkx’s technology uses advanced speech-recognition and visual analysis to automatically analyze and process video content on the web, delivering results that are more accurate and reliable than standard metadata-based keyword search technology. blinkx's Concept Recognition Engine (CoRE) then applies a unique, patented pattern-matching process to the extracted information in order to recognize ideas, concepts and themes within video. It is the automated understanding that CoRE provides that allows the Concept Correlation Engine to automatically match relevant textual and video assets.
“The blinkx technology has allowed us to make dynamic recommendations to users, optimize our search ranking and increase our visibility,” said Ari Brandt, general manager, Portfolio.com.
“With the blinkx Advanced Media Platform, we have found a solution that solves many of the problems we’ve encountered in featuring video content on our Web site,” said Albert Aimers, CEO, WallSt.net.
“We’ve enhanced the value we can derive from our video assets and we expect to significantly enhance both our brand and our users’ experience online.”
“Many media companies sit on a goldmine of video assets but struggle to generate large-scale audiences for that content. This occurs because so much of the internet is still stuck in a text-oriented form, with users who have the potential to become avid video viewers still unaware of the video riches that their favorite text sites have to offer,” said Suranga Chandratillake, CEO and founder, blinkx.
“The blinkx Content Correlation Engine uses our ability to conceptually understand the true meaning of a piece of TV or video content to match those assets to relevant text articles. The process is entirely automatic and so can be deployed across massive websites with thousands of articles and millions of page-views, immediately scaling video audiences on those sites and driving order of magnitude growth in video views and, as a result, increased video advertising revenue.”

As the pioneer in video search technology, blinkx has built a reputation as the smartest way to search new forms of online content such as video. With more than 220 partners and 18 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 and visual recognition technologies to deliver results that are more accurate and reliable than standard metadata-based keyword searches.

grant I was reading it as someone copied it from google and put it on yahoo aray board as a new post and it got me confused thanks for clearing that up ...
What is the name of the firm that is suppose to evaluate CK and you said would be huge? Also when do you expect to hear from them?
grant with all do respect what is this poster talking about ?(I thought CK was already FDA approved..)
Google discussion>
“I am a well-known radiation oncologist. "Proven" benefits of this technology are none. "Proof" is a strong word in medicine. It can only come from a randomized, phase III trial of a new treatment versus a standard treatment…….. “
From a medical professional point of view, what he said is true. CK needs to pass phase III trial in order to PROVE it. My relative is a surgeon. He said the same thing – CK technology has not been PROVEN.
BUT, by the time CK pass phase III trial, the share price would be a lot higher!
Investors foresee the future of a company and make investment decision. If we wait till it is proved, there would be no profit left.
Based on current information, I solely believe CK has a bright future and ARAY is an excellent investment opportunity at this price level.
jimlur ot
a local hospital in my area has one and they had a huge billboard that says how about 4 treatments for cancer instead of 40?(cyber knife)
they also placed a ad in a local paper that states a patient with a brain tumor making one of his eyes permently shut after just one cyber knife treatment he could open his eye again .
I also called the hostp. and asked them how it was going she said I can tell you this we have had several patients and so far no complaints .shares of ARAY currently under $10 as ISRG (who has a robot for prostate ) is around $300 share.
they also have a blog for people using cyber knife check it out as well its on accuray's home page (well the link to this is)
I am holding shares of ARAY and IDCC long term.
both are dirt cheap IMO
Hi loop please look at cyber knife treatment its a non surgery robot device for cancer FDA approved with few side effects .please go to youtube and watch a video on cyber knife and also visit www.accuray.com also public company under NASDAQ ARAY
I talked Ir the other day and he said Tobin is still involved with ITKG and said we probably won't hear nothing from him until a press release for itkg comes out .
ITKG says companies are still testing prototypes .
I also asked about the independant testing and he said would Jasper invest all this money if it didn't work?
has ISRG in the past won this same award? (for the de vinci)
back to .30 cents I am long BLINKX the share price will hopefully be past $9 one of these days .
looking forward to hearing year end results guessing it will be late May
do you own any blinkx?
tina
