Clicks on blinkx:

Hitwise records hits per site perday/week/months and gives graphs ans comparison graphs.

If you dont want to wade through all the figures, this sums it up to May, though the figures have shot up faster since then, talking blinkx from 500th+ most visited site to 200th+

It's interesting reading your posts & perspective.

I have to discount for hyping but understand it's inevitable we don that when we're involved with a share!

I like to look at how many hits blinkx is getting, compare it to its rivals, look at how many are possible (eg how fast new users are coming in online, how much new ground blinkx is taking and what plans it is bringing forth to expand) and multiply it by fees per hit = revenues.

That WILL give more than £15 ($30) a share in 2-3 years time.

It will also put blinkx in profit THIS YEAR and not in 2010

White label deals;

about 400

biggest was Fox recently:

Biggest deal in pipeline for blinkx is BBC archives:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/tv_and_radio/3177479.stm

The reason it hasn't come forth is bandwidth in my judgement.

There's a possibility the BBC may bid for blinkx but that would involve a vote to change the BBC's remit ( take over of the BBC by blinkx would be funny!)

If the BBC goes this route the revenue for the UK gvmt would be huge (it would presumably be privatised and shares traded on the stock market??
