Meanwhile blinkx, the online video search engine spun off from Autonomy in 2007, edged up 0.5p to 38.25p after it launched four browser add-ons for Internet Explorer 8. Analyst Mike Jeremy at Daniel Stewart said:

This development raises blinkx' search offering to the generic entry level of Internet Explorer, with significance for blinkx' profile with potential content partners and advertisers, its principal current source of revenue. Our buy stance and 61p target price is reiterated.
