How Many of the 10 Billion Videos Viewed in February Did YOU Watch?

ByNalts

online video viewing causes spines to turn into rusty knotsWe watched 10 billion videos in February, according to ComScore yesterday. That’s a 66 percent gain from February 2007, and apparently about 73 percent of people online are watching videos. Which means the other 15 percent are losers that are too busy brushing up on their math skills.

35 percent of this activity is on Google/YouTube, followed by about 6 percent by Fox and 3 percent by Yahoo. So if you want the “long tail,” go diggin’ into some of the big-media entities that top the list with one percent share.

I’ll be on YouTube.

Using YouTube to Sell Songs Via iTunes & Amazon

ByNalts

When I saw the recent “I’m on a Boat,” feauring SNL’s Andy Samberg and T-Pain, I felt like I was seeing an ad for a song. Turns out, Samberg has created an album/label called The Lonely Island (with NBC and others) to market his rap parodies. Interestingly, he’s not using the YouTube/Google “sell video” checkout feature I…

Video Production… 6 “Back to the Basics” Tips from My Sister

ByNalts

In my haste making videos in my spare time, I have strayed from the basics of video production that I learned doing grunt work for 7 summers at PBS. Some of my crappy videography is probably a subconscious desire to give my videos a raw, unproduced feel. Today my sister sent me 6 smart tips. She’s a…

I’m Glenda the Good Witch of Video

ByNalts

I laugh at videos daily, but rarely due blogs make me chuckle. But in this SocialTNT blog post, Chris Apollo Lynn depicts TechCrunch contributor Dan Ackerman Greenberg as The Wicked Witch of the West, while I get the Glenda The Good Witch photo. I kinda liked my nickname for Greenberg, who revealed some of his…

Plunging Deeper Into Online Video? Or Do the Day Job?

ByNalts

Speaking of the perpetual conflict between climbing the splintered ladder as a full-time salaried marketer versus plunging deep into the cool ocean of online video… here’s a note from a (successful) friend who suggests consulting full-time with brands in the online-video space.

YouTube Is My Life (Destined for Feature)

ByNalts

I don’t think there’s been a video in 2007 that I’ve watched as many times as this recent discovery, “YouTube is My Life.” Seriously. I think I’m up to 19 views. It’s by ChurchofBlow (aka WeepingProphet). His real name is either Jeremiah McDonald or Bernard Smith, and he’s a former film student based near Boston….

Advertisers Like “YouTube Safe” Content: So…

ByNalts

Advertisers like safe content, and it won’t be long before media buyers restrict certain YouTube ads to “safe” videos to protect their marketing clients and brands. So now that mama Google allows YouTube partners to note that the video is “safe” (no drugs, no violence, no sex, and no drugs), I’d urge you to code…

  1. I hope you don’t mind me registering my amusement that the guy who was predicting the demise of YouTube now appears to be a bit of a fanboy of the site. What changed? I’d be interested to know the reasons why.

  2. I wish I knew…if only YouTube would get their act together and actually count “Videos Watched” correctly. I suppose it’s just wishful thinking.

  3. I probably spend more time watching videos on my computer (whether YouTube or otherwise) than watching TV. TV has become trite and repetitive. The only innovation in media seems to be coming from the web. Next to YT my favorite site is “Funny or Die”. I must admit I also watch “The Office” and some other TV shows online as well also.

  4. the other 15% are You Tube blocked sites; like schools and offices. I think what gave youtube the big boost was all the old media invading the site. I can find almost anything, at least a clip of almost anything, and I’m guessing You Tube was in the top 10 of most words used this year on TV. If you disqualify people I’d wager it was right behind iphone, ipod and google. Those are some very sharp lawyers google has.

    hi guys! 😉

  6. I don’ think it’ll go dark. Maybe for “the community” The rabble rousers will leave or be forced off, the others paid off. Frankly Scarlet, I think you tube is tv.

    crack the cube!
