blinkx Partners with Deutsche Welle to Offer Premium International News Coverage



    blinkx, the world´s largest video search engine, today announced a
    partnership with Deutsche Welle (www.dw-world.de), Germany´s
    international broadcast service. Deutsche Welle´s online video content
    is now more easily accessible than ever before at www.blinkx.com.
    Under the terms of the agreement, blinkx will leverage its AdHoc
    platform to place contextually relevant advertising against the
    footage, and will share resulting advertising revenue with Deutsche
    Welle.

    of international affairs, business, culture and more, Deutsche Welle
    applies the latest digital technology for production and broadcasting,
    drawing on the expertise of a multinational team from more than 60
    countries. Offering daily news coverage in eight core languages,
    Deutsche Welle will be serving up new programs on a weekly basis in
    addition to those already made available at blinkx.

    "We´re thrilled to be partnering with Deutsche Welle, an
    organization that seeks to promote global understanding and encourage
    dialogue among different cultures," said Suranga Chandratillake,
    founder and CEO, blinkx. "The addition of Deutsche Welle´s content to
    blinkx.com gives viewers everywhere access to new, unique perspectives
    from a major broadcaster."

    programming deserve worldwide exposure," said Holger Hank, head of New
    Media Department, Deutsche Welle. "blinkx has developed an extremely
    innovative way of helping us expand our reach around the world."
