blinkx update on whats going on
http://www.businessweekly.co.uk/hi-tech/13878-cambridge-tech-leader-blinkx-mauled-in-bear-pit
still a strong buy in my book even tho they prob miss earnings by 7.5 million still 72% year over year growth and will break over 100 million in revenue!
Why blinkx is a buy.
Blinkx ipoed in 2007 with a price of .80 cents (its only .81 cents today.)5 years ago
blinkx had no revenue then and no eps .
5 years later and blinkx not only has revenue but it has + eps and bought two companies and still has no debt and still growing.
signed a deal with aol.
at .81 cents the MM's are offering blinkx shares for .81 cents.
top 6 holders of blinkx makes up for about 40% of blinkx shares or higher.
blinkx books around .30 cents a share.
consider the growth and this one looks real cheap to me.
thinking the same thing.
notice the volume is huge compared to normal on the london exchange blinkx shares blnx.l on yahoo quotes and the other day someone mentioned that 6 million were buys and 4 million shares sold and was still down huge for that day.
something strange going on but if your a buyer I thing blinkx is on sale.
I wished i had more $ to buy more!!

video search engine rated buy with a $3 price target this year!
the deal with AOL is HUGE!!!
Daniel Stewart reiterated its "buy" rating for Blinkx (BLNX), with a target price of 200p. The video search engine owner has won a contract to power AOL's search results and the broker noted that it will be able to add the internet provider's premium video assets to its existing content of over 35 million hours of footage. Daniel Stewart added that this win follows a number or recent partnerships, including with Roku, boxee.tv and Blegacom. The broker forecasts earnings per share of 3.3 cents (2.1p) for the year ending March 2012, putting the shares on a prospective multiple of 37.4 times, falling to 19 times in 2013. The shares jumped by 9.5p to 78.5p
UK A N A L Y S T (this means price expected to more than double from current price )
In another victory for blinkx, the video search company has won the right to power AOL’s video search. “This is certainly one of our more significant distribution deals -- up there with Ask.com,” said Suranga Chandratillake, blinkx founder and CEO.
Although no YouTube, AOL has grown into one of the biggest video hubs online, with about 450 million video views per month, according to comScore. Per the new deal, blinkx will also incorporate AOL’s premium videos in its own search engine.
Adds Chandratillake: "in addition to the new audience reach it brings us, we now have access to all of AOL’s video content -- a significant and very high-quality library.”
Based in the United Kingdom, blinkx attracts 55 million U.S. video searchers a month.
Video search engine Truveo -- which AOL acquired in 2006 -- had previously powered AOL’s video search.
Despite global economic concerns, blinkx recently reported that advertiser demand was as strong as ever. The company posted strong revenue growth for its fiscal first half, while pretax profits fell on costs related to a recent acquisition.
Continuing to grow its audience and blue-chip brand partners, blinkx reported a revenue increase of 63% to $44.6 million during the last six months ending Sept. 30.
What sets blinkx apart from its rivals?
“blinkx simply has better technology,” according to Chandratillake. Unlike Google or [Microsoft-owned] Bing, it was built from the ground up to search rich media, not text.”
“Because blinkx technology understands what’s happening in the video itself -- through visual analysis and speech recognition -- we’re better able to place relevant, targeted advertising in the content,” Chandratillake added. “The more effective the ad is, the better the monetization rate is for publishers.”
Last year, blinkx acquired Burst Media for $30 million. Also, it recently announced the acquisition of PVMG, an ad network and digital marketing agency, for $36 million.
Per the deal, blinkx is presently integrating PVMG's advertising platform to enable the blinkx video search engine to respond to a portion of PVMG's 1.5 billion daily queries with relevant video results.
With the Burst deal, blinkx hoped to bring its 35 million hours of online video and TV to Burst's network of over 157 million unique users.
Video ads remain the fastest-growing online ad format, and in recent research, eMarketer has forecast that the market will be worth $5.7 billion by 2014 -- up from $1.4 million in 2010.
This past year, brands such as Honda, Microsoft and Revlon booked campaigns with blinkx through various agencies, including Starcom Mediavest, Ogilvy and McCann Erickson.
In other video news, AOL recently selected Yahoo’s Right Media Exchange as the platform to provide real-time access to its video inventory.

The NEXT google? blinkx BLNKF
# 1 in video search for under $2
video search company Blinkx saw its stock spike briefly this morning, following an announcement that it will power AOL’s video search. AOL is one of the largest video destinations on the Web, with about 450 million video views per month according to comScore.
Blinkx will also incorporate AOL’s premium videos in its own search engine. (Presumably, that will include TCTV videos, since we are owned by AOL). Blinkx itself attracts 55 million U.S. video searchers a month. AOL’s video properties are watched by about 40 million unique viewers (comScore), so the deal could significantly expand blinkx’s reach.
But doesn’t AOL already have its own video search technology? Back in 2006 it acquired a video search engine called Truveo. Up until recently, Truveo was powering all of AOL’s video search. But it’s been on life support for months, and now with this deal the plug is being pulled on Truveo.
Failed acquisitions aside, AOL wants its videos to reach the broadest audience. An internal-only video search engine doesn’t do much to reach new audiences. Of course, most people search for videos on Google, not blinkx. And somehow YouTube always seems to turn up as the top video results on Google. If your videos aren’t on YouTube, they are sort of invisible. But if they are on YouTube, you have to cut them in on the ad revenues. So media companies are trying to push video viewers to their own sites through deals like the one AOL just did with blinkx.
I own both IDCC and PANL.
both solid patent ports.
However here is some stuff to chew on PANL vs. IDCC.
IDCC is a cash cow and stands to gain alot as the LTE networks unfold.
Panl has alot of cash as well not as much as idcc but panl stands to gain as OLED's work their way into every electronic device in your house cell phones computers tabs tv cameras and then white lighting then flexible screens panl also owns the materials to make the screens and its a green play bc you will save on your power bill with better quality .
The same guy started both and he owns shares of both and left idcc for panl buy both long term and get you at least some shares of video search engine blinkx BLNKF a FUTURE giant.
grant
Hi I feel your pain I see so many good buys out there but no funds to buy them..

my two picks in Jan for 2012 were MITK at 7.41 and BLNKF at 1.04
MITK is way above that now and blinkx just signed a partnership to power video search for AOL.com more hits more money glad I own both...
AOL partners with blinkx
AOL today announced that its video search results are powered by blinkx. In turn, blinkx will incorporate AOL's premium video assets into its current index of over 35 million hours of content, making them easily searchable and accessible to users around the world.
The partnership expands the quantity and quality of AOL's video search results and also delivers integrated Safe Search tools that block adult oriented content from minors.
Search and watch on AOL.com and blinkx.com!
brenton
What I liked about the call//
250 customers inc. 8 of top ten banks.
25 of top 40 financial isnt. ceo is confident he will get all 40 with high use high demand for customers.
he expacets bill pay app to make his company even more money than the check cashing app.
Also hints that new products are coming hints of w 2's that would make doing taxes so much easier and faster wow!
Earnings beat brenton did you listen to cc and your thoughts?
When will we hear something on nokia settlement i would like to have a yes or no answer in this lifetime ???
globial photonic is not public yet or is it?
either way I don't own any yet.
interesting company
I own shares of idcc and panl for this reason we all know why idcc is a great investment.
Here are some facts on panl
1.both started by the same person he left idcc to go to panl which he still has shares of idcc.
2.panl owns 1,000 patents on OLED and also sell materials to make the screens too.
3.OLED's have wider viewing angles more color and can be made flexible plus save on your electric bill .
4.We all know that cell phones is a huge industry however thats just the tip of the iceberg for panl bc next is tv's laptops and white lighting for your house.
5.Bill Gates was asked who is the next microsoft a few years ago he did not mention any company by name but he said....
"OLED's will not only be in every electronic device in your house but it will also be the light source for your house ...
as far as my research goes IDCC has 4g under lock and key as does PANL for oled thats why i like both.
IDCC should do another share buyback while its on the cheap side and or buy thier sister company OLED screen ip PANL

mitek and blnkf blinkx are my top picks for 2012
hope you had a good one grant and happy new year!
Thinking a bit more about SC's statement there is of course a two-tiered approach to PVMG and that is to continue Blinkx and PVMG in parallel until you do the crossover and integration. It would not make sense to stop the current PVMG revenue stream if it is generating reasonable revenue.
The question is, what will the new "Search engine" be when you combine Blinkx' and PVMG's engines. It is clear from the statement that they are complementary not conflicting; Blinkx video, PVMG text based and a world leader in Search Engine Optimisation (SEO).
If it was good enough, it might give Bing or Google a bit of a headache as both try to use SEO to gain an advantage but are limited by text tags. But develop SEO combining the benefits of video, voice search with text search like a new Blinkx/PVMG engine and you have an unbeatable product. Such a product, in my opinion, is exactly what HP is looking for since it wants to go to war with Oracle and this would definitely put it years ahead of Oracle's limited search engine.
Given big mouth Larry Olson's attack on Mike Lynch, even having the audacity to claim that Oracle do better and quicker what Idol does, you can be sure HP will be gunning for him. You will note that Olson has not proven that "big wind" statement.
So, is it possible that Blinkx is now working under the lids on behalf of HP to produce a product they would really like to have and one they desparately need if they are to compete in the software market and given their statement that they are, for the moment, limiting the acquisitions, Blinkx would be the perfect vehicle to develop it. If it is a success, I could easily see a bid from HP at a nice healthy price being on the cards when the combined product is up and running.
I agree blinkx has made key buyouts and getting more hits than ever and will grow into the future blinkx know what they are doing to grow the company and make it better for the future of tv and thats where blinkx will be.
** Blinkx , the world's biggest online video search engine operator, has agreed to buy digital marketing agency Prime Visibility Media Group for $36 million in cash, and will partially fund the acquisition through a placing of new shares
good article on blinkx here is the link
http://www.businessweekly.co.uk/hi-tech/13037-new-animation-powerhouse-from-autonomy-spinouts
page views and ad revenues
according to this article an analyst at a US bank (Citi) expects youtube to get over one trillion page views in 2012 from which he estimated they would keep 1.119Bn USD in net advertising revenues after sharing some of the gross revenues with partners etc.
at 35Bn page views a month Blinkx should have about 40% of the page views and so as a rough guide might be expected to net about 440m USD in annual advertising revenues in 2011-12??!!
a simple way of looking at things perhaps, and blinkx did say that the full impact of the burst media acquisition would not be apparent until the second half of the year, but if this comes good then will burst media turn out to be the best takeover deal ever?
being optimistic has paid off so far with blinkx so a strong hold imho,
