advertising is Blinkx income and field of expertise Although it has now launched blinkx cheep which is the world's first transaction hijacking, and linkx' updated versions will e much more streamlines as usual)
linkx is the one serious UK company that is set to delever for thre BBC if called on.
online advertising is shooting up as recoveries are anticipated andblinkx revenues already proved its advertising model (will now cponfirm that post EBITA profits on nov 9th)
of over $1million.
I called blinkx as a potentially £5 a share 2 years ago & expect to hit this if/when transaction hijacking is streamlined)
and indeed it hit the £1 by Xmas I also called and was jeered at for
The BBC is going to raise revenues for itself....not much doubt about that if it wants to survive, and blinkx relevant ads are going to be very useful for it as it goes international.
Its quality mass market programmes eg The Tudors commands huge audiences and advertising that is relevant eg 'get your Henry VIII procelain vases! will be premium pokes.
One of Blinkx NeD is Michael Lynch who is also a wheel at the BBC, is in a good position to assist this though no conflict of interest would allow his to proceed without a best interest of the BBC:
he could broker a good deal for the BBC with Blinkx....better than it could get with another/foreign advertising producer.
How he does this is going to be an algorithm, but its definitely doable and has been under discussion on here for a year plus.
The BBC does in-house advertising (for its own products like videos/books, but much may now e outsourced if squeezed.
I'm in favour of the BBC buying Blinkx - or vice versa - I cant see why the tories wouldn't sell the BBC to raise funds- they sold british gas, british rail, british everything else?
Why the hell would they keep a loss making company in their remit with Cameron, the son of a merchant capitalist, in charge?
I am too adventurous maybe, but there is tons of overlap
The political aims of the BBC can still be met by regulatory requirements.
Advertising for free videos/films MUST become the norm....and blinkx is uniquely set up for this
The big sp movement for blinkx (you've seen nothing yet) now its in clear net profits, will be as Blinkx Cheep starts to pay well:
I expect this to be huge and figure for it available from the May report and emphasized in Nov 2011.
Blinkx is likely to e developing new pioneering software systems independently of Autonomy & it will e interesting to see what these are:
I reiterate it's logical for blinkx to set up or buy an internet banking system better and more of a people's thing than PayPal who charges high fees, and blinkx has space, the resources & finance to do this.
Suranga is keenly aware of being a champion of the people and the banks have been seen as a real problem from generations.
Their profits are extreme and this usually invites competition.
If I was on the board of blinkx I'd be pushing for an internet bank that services their customers.
There is NO mention of this in their foundation articles but it is a logical step IMO and it is easy to recruit a complete banking department @ present and pioneer a new online banking system with competitive pay per transaction rather than %age fees.
Why I'm looking at this is I'm trying to think why blinkx raised funds:
it could of course just be caution about the much touted double dip, though that looks very unlikely, and the deregulation of London which preceeded the 2008 crash has led to the UK rebounding before the US & EU
Notably the UK markets are almost back to their pre-crash levels, and property has NOT crashed in the UK but is rising again with a 33% rise over 3 years conservatively being called.
The tories will have to make the UK attractive for business again.
The Olympics in a few months will give a huge boost to blinkx.
USA is still the major revenue source but Asia is huge
