the Train is getting ready to leave the station..
All aboard
the interesting thing is Blinkx Suranga Chandratillake CEO
has pointed to ACCELERATED GROWTH and CONFIDENT OF THE OUTLOOK
=only a month ago=
I pointed to Friday and Monday as interesting when the share price was still falling, and predicting share price movement in itself is dangerous, i could get 19 right and only one wrong and everyone will remember the one i got wrong, one that i am sure i will get right is the 50% increase within a year.
I said before i did traded options, and that works when a person can change from a put to a call, [for another day] i gave up doing traded options 20 years ago.
So i am not ramping Blinkx to get individuals to lose money, i try very hard to give facts, information to decide if a share is worth buying, or selling,
Blinkx CEO has pointed the direction the company is going,
which is up,
everyone seems to be pointing to £1.20
i am taking this slowly and giving the share price the maximum time of 12 months to make another 50% and not many shares can do that, there are reasons that the £1.20 will come well before 12 months a great bonus for me when the do that.
I repeat again this is the type of share that could be of interest when looking at a crystal ball between Christmas and New Year tips for the next year.

Sentiment : Strong Buy
message from another board by citytrade
blinkx good strong company with a proven business model
I hope it deals with Synchronica another recovery share,
Profits taking has been here for a week or few but the sp is heading up on net profits on Nov 9th of £1ml
and Blinkx are about to make an acquisition or launch according to my panel: that is based on their share sale and cash holdings.
Only a looney would bet on a double dip
This is NOTHING like the 1930 economically:
high tech is accelerating not winding down
sobeit you should get your head round Blink cheep, because it is new and hard to do.
When blinkx main users in the US shop in town they can now flick their mobiles and compare prices.
On line of course as well, but the internet is condensing into mobiles with aps (certain preloaded sites like email, wikipedia, iii
eBay paypal etc
Vast and daunting as it is most of us use very little outside the same old sites
I screamed blinkx was a god buy as it's sp crashed down even to 15p and 13 p for 2 years and my major buy was at 13p:
My point is that I think I understand it a bit..enough to predict a £5 sp
Transaction hijacking has been merged by blinkx with social networking.
That is ominous and could lead to billions in revenues.
Who are blinkx stalking?
Not Miva.
Why have they upped their cash holdings?
I'd lay your money:
they are about to grab someone before the Nov 9th results??
What who?
Lynch has experience of markets learned in terror in the US!
He is also gave up the life of a promising A.I. research academic

The best time to sell blinkx is never.

Cheep Combines Product Comparisons With Social Shopping

There are a vast amount of product comparison sites on the web and a number of social shopping sites that allow online shoppers use their social graph to share purchasing decisions. Today video search engine Blinkx is trying to combine the two functionalities with the launch of Cheep, a social shopping service.
Through a browser add-on (which currently only works on Firefox or IE), Cheep recognizes when you’re looking at a specific product and will show you current price comparisons from around the Web, as well as reviews and ratings. Cheep will appear as a small bar at the top of your screen when you’re looking at a product page. The startup has indexed millions of products nearly 200 online retailers, including Amazon, BestBuy and Walmart, so chances are that Cheep will be able to find the product you are viewing within your browser.
Beyond the add-on, Cheep is also a standalone social network that encourages users to share their shopping activity, including purchases, wishlists, likes, reviews and more; with other Cheep members. The startup is also creating profiles for millions of products, which users can share on Facebook and Twitter.
I doubt I’d really use the online community side of Cheep but the browser add-on could be useful. The ability to receive automatic, contextual information such as alternative reviews or prices for a product without having open another browser tab for a search is appealing.

Introducing Cheep: Smart, Social Shopping
Cheep Helps You Find the Best Deals on the Web and Connects You to a Community of Friends and Fellow Shoppers
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF.-October 26, 2010-Cheep, a smart, social shopping service brought to you by blinkx, today announced the opening of its site to all consumers in the United States, following a successful invitation-only beta period.
Through a small browser add-on, Cheep recognizes when you're looking at a specific product and helps you find the best deal, by showing you current, accurate price comparisons from around the Web, as well as reviews and ratings, unobtrusively and in real-time. We've indexed nearly 200 of the Web's biggest and best retailers, including Amazon, BestBuy and Walmart, so everything-from batteries to trampolines-is on there for your viewing, reviewing and shopping pleasure.
When you join Cheep, you also become part of a community. Cheep lets you share your shopping activity-where you browsed, what you bought, whether you liked it and how much it cost-with other members. The Cheep site, www.getcheep.com, shows a real-time stream of shopping activity-as you peruse and purchase products online, you can share that information with friends and like-minded shoppers in the Cheep community, and, in turn, view and comment on their shopping.
"Cheep capitalizes on the two greatest strengths of the Web-the power to find and compare vast amounts of information, and the ability to connect people-and combines them to reinvent the online shopping experience," said Suranga Chandratillake, founder and CEO, blinkx. "Cheep offers price comparison, which is smart and efficient, and also community, because shopping is most fun when it's social. The Internet really came alive for people when it stopped being about connecting computers and started being about connecting people-Cheep does both. Simply put, Cheep is a fun way to find out from your friends and others what to buy, and where, for the right price."
Get Cheep
To get Cheep, go to www.getcheep.com, create your user profile and download the browser add-on, which is currently available for Internet Explorer and Firefox for Mac and PC. Then start shopping! Once you're signed up, you can also connect and add friends through Facebook and Twitter.
See Cheep
Once you have the Cheep browser add-on, Cheep recognizes when you're looking at a specific product and helps you find the best deal by showing you current, accurate price comparisons from around the Web, as well as reviews and ratings-unobtrusively and in real-time.
Cheep appears as a small bar at the top of your screen when you're looking at a product page, and also embedded into product search results pages as a highlighted link.
Be Cheep
Cheep is also a shopping community, built on the premise of sharing: if we all share a little bit, then together we can gather a whole load of really awesome information-from who's got the best deals on the Playstation 3, to where to go for a really unique piece of jewelry.
If you choose to participate, Cheep makes it incredibly easy for you to share your shopping. You can shop online as usual while the add-on shares your browsing, purchases, likes and reviews with the community, and in turn, you can interact with other members and comment on their activity. We also understand that there might be some things you don't want to share, so we have simple, clear privacy controls built right into Cheep that allow you to turn your purchase broadcasts "on" or "off".
Cheep is a community for anyone who shops online, likes a good deal and enjoys interacting with friends. Bargain-hunters, social networking fiends and product experts will find themselves right at home on Cheep, along with consumers who just want to make sure they're getting the best deal. The service is free to join and open to all users in the United States. For more information, please visit www.getcheep.com, or contact us at support@getcheep.com. Shop online? Get Cheep!
blinkx hopes to soon monetize mobile video search
25 October 2010, 10:34 am
blinkx, the world’s largest video search engine, expects to begin monetizing its recent move into mobile by the middle of next year, according to company founder and CEO, Suranga Chandratillake.
In July, blinkx, launched a new Application Programming Interface giving app developers access to its database of MP4 video content. The company has over 35 million hours of indexed audio, video, viral and TV content, and says about 25% of this is currently available on mobile.
In the same month blinkx also signed a deal with Samsung to provide a video app for the Android platform which is the only video app to be featured in the elite SamsungApps offering for the Galaxy S in the US and major markets in western Europe. In September, blinkx then signed a deal with Evri to include video on its new iPhone and Android apps – with RIM and Symbian to follow shortly.
Chandratillake said content on all offerings will be monetized when there is sufficient traffic with pre-roll and mid-roll brand advertising. “There has been a lot of agency interest from both Europe and the US, and we hope to see some movement in the next 3-6 months, but I wouldn’t like to say in which market or when.”
blinkx prefers the pay per impression model, but says that mobile may turn into searches, click-through rates and/or conversion rates. “We may have to try a mix for the mobile market,” he said.
Advertisers are currently looking for ’single million’ views on a monthly basis for its web content, but Chandratillake said mobile will be more like ‘hundreds of thousands’ of views. “The big question is also geographical breakdown as we’ll need a large chunk in one place. Usage on a per-user basis is higher in Europe, but the US is obviously a mass-market opportunity,” he said.
Initially, blinkx saw ‘tens of thousands’ of initiations every day via the Samsung S app, and ‘hundreds of thousands’ with the Evri app. “With Samsung there was more immediate installs as users discovered what was on the handset, but perhaps we will see less multiple use,” said Chandratillake. “The conversion rate is much better with Evri as it is an app people have chosen to download.
Even this summer’s extraordinary
share price run looks to be just
the beginning for innovative
video search technology group
Blinkx (BLNX:AIM) .
Shares first flagged the innovative
video search technology group as a prime
pick at 17.3p during last winter (Plays, 7
Jan). To our irritation, the shares sank to
breach our standard 20% stop loss before
starting their meteoric rise a few months
later. This surge was triggered by May’s
final results, when the Cambridge group
showed the first evidence of its success in
monetising its internet search offerings.
The Autonomy (AU.) spin-out confirmed
it had reached profitability at the
earnings before interest, tax, depreciation
and amortisation (EBITDA) level for
the second half of the year. Since then,
Blinkx’ shares have ripped up from 13p
to 88.7p for a 582% gain. Even so, a
prospective price/earnings ratio of 22.8
times for 2012 does not appear excessive
for this strongly growing company. A
trading update earlier this month (11
Oct) showed Blinkx expected revenues
for the first half to rise by around 100%
from the same period last year, to $27
million. This is expected to generate an
operating profit of above $1 million
when numbers are released early next
month (9 Nov).
Last Friday (15 Oct) Blinkx sold 23.2 million
new shares, representing 7% of the
company. The stock was placed at 84p per
share, generating gross proceeds of £19.5
million. This adds to the company’s existing
cash balance of $17 million (£10.6 million)
and gives it the clout to make an
acquisition. Management was vague in
describing what the money would be used
for, only saying it would ‘support [the]
growth strategy’.
It is also possible the group will use the
new cash to fund general business growth,
via added emphasis on marketing and new
partnerships. In the past six months,
Blinkx has announced a series of content
and distribution deals with among others
the BBC and AccuWeather, as well as a
Samsung (005930.KS) collaboration which
brought Blinkx’s technology to Apple’s
(AAPL:NDQ) iPhone and Google’s
(GOOG:NDQ) Android phones. In June
the group announced a joint initiative with
Microsoft (MSFT:NDQ), which meant
Windows users could use customised
Blinkx software to access video.
‘Video advertising is the fastest-growing
format online ... and we expect to further
accelerate the growth of our business,’
says Blinkx chief executive and
founder Suranga Chandratillake.
Research from eMarketer estimates
spending in this segment will grow 500%
over the next four years to $11.3 billion
by 2014. Blinkx has to date indexed over
35 million hours of video, audio and TV
content, enabling customers to search
and access the material on demand. The
technology, licensed from Autonomy, is
unique in the sense it recognises content
within raw unstructured data, whereas
traditional search technology relies
on keywords.
yeah i did not know that about amazon but their story is very amazing indeed they laid the foundation AMZN and estiblished their company with customers selling books for cheaper then they bot them then slowly turned into making money on them once the word got out.
blinkx building the bottom foundation much like amazon altho not selling books or products it is laying the ground work for a monster profits ahead well into the future.

Blinkx’s video index at brink of profitability
San Francisco Business Times - by Patrick Hoge
Date: Monday, October 18, 2010, 12:00am PDT - Last Modified: Thursday, October 14, 2010, 7:18pm PDT
Related: Technology
Blinkx Inc., a search engine that has indexed millions of hours of video, is riding a rising video advertising tide that has quadrupled its revenue in the last three years and put it on the verge of profitability.
Suranga Chandratillake, founder and CEO of the 6-year-old company, this week notified investors that for the six months ending Sept. 30, Blinkx expects to report revenue of $27 million, an increase of 100 percent from same period during the previous fiscal year.
Both the number of video searches and the quantity of advertisements from companies like Coca Cola, Virgin, Toyota, Microsoft and McDonald’s have grown significantly, he said.
Blinkx, which is headquartered in San Francisco and London and traded on the London Stock Exchange, said it expects to report an operating profit of more than $1 million for the first half of the year, above the $630,000 average that analysts had predicted.
In addition, Chandratillake said that in the last six months Blinkx increased its cash stockpile from about $2 million to around $17 million.
That is despite the fact that since early 2009, Blinkx’s staff has more than doubled from 55 to 110 employees, more than half of them located in San Francisco. The company currently has several openings in San Francisco for technical jobs, particularly in research and development.
Chandratillake had earlier said that in the first quarter for the first time, Blinkx was EBITDA positive by about $30,000. Blinkx took in $13.9 million in revenue in the year ending March 31, 2009, $33.6 million the next, and analysts have predicted it will do $59 million this year with a profit of roughly $5 million. The company lost $8.5 million in the year ended March 31, down from $8.8 million the prior year.
Mike Galli, an analyst with MRG Inc. in Oakland, said Blinkx has become one of the biggest businesses with expertise cataloguing and tagging video from sources like the Associated Press, the BBC, Howcast and Lonely Planet.
The company’s core intellectual property, which is protected by 111 patents and uses facial recognition technology, among other techniques, is a spin-off from corporate information management giant Autonomy, where Chandratillake was previously CTO.
“They are one of the biggest, if not the biggest, in their category,” Galli said. “To me, they’re the kind of company that a company like Google might look to purchase.”
According to eMarketer, the runway for growth remains long, with online video advertising in the United States estimated to grow from $1.5 billion this year to $5.5 billion in 2014.
Blinkx has continuously been announcing deals to distribute its content from and through a host of media and search properties, and it now has partnerships with 720 companies, up from 420 in early 2009.
It has also been investing in different technology platforms, pursuing a long-term “three-screen” strategy for distributing content on mobile devices and Internet-connected televisions, as well as the desktop personal computer where it got its start.
Chandratillake said it has been a challenge figuring out the right balance of preparing for the inevitable ubiquity of web video on mobile devices and TVs without detracting from efforts to serve today’s online users.
“We know in the long term, the three- to five-year time frame, we have to be relevant on mobile phones and television sets,” he said.
In July, Blinkx announced that Samsung Electronics Co. would feature a Blinkx application on Android devices, and it opened its platform to mobile application developers.
Last month, the first partnership emerged, with Evri, a San Francisco-Seattle company backed by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen’s Vulcan Capital that delivers content on selected topics over mobile phones.
Evri CEO Will Hunsiger said he was particularly impressed with Blinkx’s technology because it makes video playback exceptionally smoothly over mobile devices when compared with competitors.
Chandratillake said that even though televisions have been around for decades, the momentum is much greater currently in the mobile realm largely because of the iPhone.
“We always assumed it would be the other way around,” he said. “The iPhone has turned everything on its head. It has revolutionized expectations.”

Blinkx part of Google TV?
from 'digitalis' on ADVFN.com today:
"Did anyone pick up on this article earlier,it quotes:
"This fall, those who buy the Logitech (LOGI) Revue, a set-top box that allows users to browse the Web from a TV, will get access to Blinkx with an application that finds and delivers daily news and entertainment videos"
http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/10_43/b4200049868656.htm
Now the Logitech Revue is the only set top box you can get "Google TV" on....i would say this is a big bit of news.....Blinkx on Goog TV??
your welcome I am glad that you joined the blinkx board i was getting loney on here..
good article how blinkx formed and was created ..
http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/10_43/b4200049868656.htm
well its good to hear you are on the ship now at least and I look forward to blinkx making us very rich.
as long as they spell interdigital right on the check!! ha ha good one
I agree are you in this one yet ?
Also it is rumoured that blinkx may possibly spin off its cheep division so shareholders of blinkx would pick up free shares ..
www.getcheep.com
shopping software that finds best deals on the net for you !
They have been working on this for 3 years now I hope it launches before Christmas season...
Cash rich IDCC what should they do?
well lets explore some options...
1. buy another company.. some that come to my mind which may be a perfect fit for idcc would be Virnetx symbol VHC with 4 g patents and inked a deal with microsoft.
telecommunication systems symbol TSYS not only powers texting deta for brands like at&t and verizon but their key money is making money off the government contracts for its gps system also use for 911 voip gps.
2.pay some profit to shareholders altho it is well invested in the future it could still give us a little kick back which indeed could pay for itself as us long termers reinvest those dividends into idcc itself.Also may attract new investors who want growth with a yield .
3.Share buy back I must hand it to them its the only company i ever bought into that lowered the share count and not increased they have done this very well ..
They were buying back in the thirty range and now we are $25 and this would also be a good thing.
4. little of all three of the above would be nice and get this stock out of its mud spinning tires!

Such success obviously makes the company a
prime candidate for being sold, but he said that no
offers have yet been made.
He said: “A bid for the company might come at
any time, and if we got the right offer, we’d
obviously have to take it to the shareholders, but that
hasn’t happened yet.
“We have very exciting plans for future
development in the medium to long-term, so we will
be pressing ahead with them, including looking at
two big additional applications for our software –
phones and television.
“We took a big gamble to leave the fold of
Autonomy and launch Blinkx, but we had a sense of
adventure. It hasn’t failed, and four of the six original
core Cambridge development team are still with the
company.”

Blinkx -- don't miss it
THE young head of a high-flying Cambridge
technology spin-out company has spoken exclusively
to Business about its success, and its future.
Cambridge University-educated Suranga
Chandratillake is the chief executive of Blinkx, which
was launched five years ago as an offshoot of
Autonomy.
Five years on, the company has grown from a staff
complement of four to 120, a third of whom are
based on the Cambridge Science Park. Its annual
turnover is £20m – and it is worth £350m.
The business idea that has triggered such
phenomenal growth is a search engine, called Blinkx,
which trawls the internet for video content...

here is someones post on iii board (romaron)
who attened theyearly shareholders meeting for blinkx
I asked TR's question at the AGM regarding You View. SC replied that the list is not officially out so it is not possible to say yes or no. Body language & the woman next to me both thought it a Yes.
I also asked the sobeit question rather badly about the definition of partners. I got an anodyne reply saying 2/3 types 1.content partner 2.distributor/syndicator 3.advertisers/partners not strictly partners.
I counted 27 shareholders + 4 Blinx. There were some attempts to draw information but SC remained tight lipped. Not IMO to hide anything just that there are director/legal responsibilities & he wasn't reporting figures. Some stuff was alittle hostile but again IMO pretty irrelevant. ML wouldn't tell you so why expect SC? This is the wrong meting to extract info but there are some pretty dedicated & clever people following this stock in attendance. It was what I expected so I'm left ambivalent. I saw no reason to sell. His assistant had come over from California & replied to the moans that 1 1/4 hours was not long enough (he was off to London at 10.00 but got delayed by us) replied that we had no idea just how busy he is (Good news).
They made a mistake with the room as they were only expecting a handful. Tea & coffee; no biccies.
are you into limelight ?
thats a huge field i was looking at them yesturday with the run up AKAM how are they different ?
Also looking at VHC.
VHC has 46 patents and has won a 120 million lawsuit with microsoft for infinge and microsoft not only paid but licenced with them after that and now VHC is suing NEC Cisco and Apple.
They have no debt and look good as we turn the corner to 4 g .
I still have blinkx their AGM is today I am excited .did not sell any.
I still have ARAY what a disapointment it has been great tech and no gains from it coz of mgt.
Are you still holding it too?
I think there may be much upside to TINY and WZE and ACAS all of which are trading below book.
let me know if any of them intrest you .
its always good chating with ya I hope all is going good for you in the terrible economy we have

hi grant
here is a motely fool article mentions blinkx whats you take on it?
To maximise your chances of achieving a 10-bagger in 10 years without throwing trying to hit every single ball for six, focus on smaller companies that have:
* strong balance sheets;
* strong cash flows; and
* strong growth prospects.
One such company could be Blinkx (BLNKF - news) . According to Google Finance, this £170 million company "has an index of over 35 million hours of searchable video and more than 530 media partnerships, including national broadcasters, commercial media giants, and private video libraries".
Analysts at Daniel Stewart recently forecast 2012 revenues at Blinkx of £79.5 million and EPS of 4.5 pence, putting the company on a 2012 P/E of 13.7. This fast growing rising star of the UK internet industry is the type of company that could just turn out to be a 10-bagger in the years ahead...

Comment: Only a ten-bagger? Don't think so. If Blinxk comes anywhere close to achieving its potential should be much, MUCH more than that...
