If the popular websites were cartoon people, what would they look like? Elontirien on deviantART has the answer below (via ContenttoCommerce).
Perhaps nothing is amusing as Dr. Google staring in disdain at his adolescent son/brother, YouTube (shooting the bird with both hands).
That wedding entrance to the tune “Forever” is up to 11 million plus views via YouTube, and it boosted album sales by placing the 2008 song in the iTunes top 10. It certainly didn’t hurt that the Today show flew the wedding party to NYC for a recreation. Nielsen Wire reports that the wedding video…
When a video freezes it’s called a “rebuff,” and it happens 8% of each video stream. And when it does, 80% of viewers stop watching. That’s according to TubeMogul, who track these things from the players it monitors. Tubemogul also allows publishers to push their content to all the major online-video sharing sites for free….
Netflix is watching “GOOG” and its potential use YouTube to stream longer form content. See WSJ blog. And read about YouTube’s move to live streaming ala Ustream and Blogtv. I’d say the concern is significant, and this marks the fifth phase of YouTube… Phase 1: Pirate Sharing (2004-2006) Phase 2: Amateurs & Community (2005-2009) Phase…
You’ve heard about online video, and you have a few extra large monitors (HDTV) that you aren’t using. Now you’re running out of excuses, because the Roku (which like AppleTV, Boxee, TiVo and other devices) will soon offer Angry Birds… right on your boob tube. To be sure Roku is right for you, check out…

Cute. I found the very young twitterer a little odd considering (at least until recently) twitter is more popular with middle aged males than the tweens who seem to prefer the privacy of facebook.
Alexis,
You are using too much logic. Twitter is the young kid in the group and not as mature. 🙂
Oh OK, that makes sense.
Most of the tweens in my school use MySpace. They don’t like Facebook because it’s not customizable (i.e., they can’t gaud up their pages with wallpaper and other doo-dads). That is fortunate for us teachers, who prefer Facebook and prefer not to have students stumbling across our pages.
That’s interesting Marilyn. Down here, (at least in my experience as a tween) Facebook is by far the dominant social networking site. MySpace fell out of style maybe five or so years ago and in the rare event that it is discussed in tween conversation, it is usually mentioned derisively.
I’m wondering why deviantART was included in this ensemble. Maybe I just live under a rock, but it hasn’t even been on my radar. Does anybody else consider it a major player like YouTube or Wikipedia?
