? Buy-out
10 Apr '13
The Blinkx tech has been known about for years and their success at monetizing Internet video has been apparent now for at least 12 months. Given their seemingly superior (patented) tech in probably the hottest area it does seem strange that there have been no formal approaches. In this last couple of years more than one early stage business has been snapped up by one of the majors just for their perceived potential. Maybe the Blnx tech and business model are simply so far removed from what everyone else is doing that their continued success simply does not carry credence with it. Not that I am complaining as I anticipate that the next twelve months will demonstrate to even the most blind that Blnx is a behemoth in the making........at which point there may well be an undignified scramble between majors, which could well drive the share price to new heights. Lovely prospect......

Don't forget that, as I understand it, Google's YouTube employs shed loads of people to constantly monitor the video content to ensure they are not falling foul of copyright etc etc. With Blinkx all that is done automatically plus their business model means they do not act as host. What's not to like?

Since I need to sell shortly, I would love to see a Google buyout above a pound.

I expect that they could use the tech to improve their indexes of content. The combination of Blinkx's understanding of video and Googles ability to search through data would be very potent.

They may also have desires to boost any Google TV plans with the large base of professional content that they now have.

Still... I don't think it will happen and have my fingers crossed for some excellent results. We should not forget that we were forecast $165m.

Punter - I'm not assuming there will be one but am hoping for one as there have been updates at this time for the last two years.

Especially as there was one two months ago - I for one don't think it will happen but I wouldn't be surprised to see a meaty RNS before the finals?

I suppose there must come a time that Google would want Blinkx out of the way.
The question is, what level do Blinkx have to get to before they are seen as a threat or a useful asset.

If Goog were to buy BLNX it'sd be with the sole and express purpose of quietly shutting it down, but at that point I'd be gone and past caring!
