There are more women online than men, but men watch more online-videos than women. And when men watch videos, they go for news, user-generated videos and TV shows. Women, according to the research, prefer news, music videos and entertainment.

What happens when you give funny car junkies (who happen to have their own television show called “Gear Head” on the BBC) the assignment to make a Volkswagen ad? The videos below show the completed ads (and this controversy is months old, but wonderfully new to me). This series of ads is so wonderfully offensive (and resulted…
Regular readers of WillVideoForFood will recall that in December a collection of online video creators began a “participative video storyline” called GooTube Conspiracy. Initially this included a random plot based on comments and videos posted by the YouTube community. More than 75 videos were created by random people on YouTube that had never since interacted….
Caitlin Hill (thehill88) on Fox talking about Hitviews, and the age of the stars. My favorite quote is in the excerpt here.
Panjea Revver LuluTV Eefoof Thanks, Xeep.net. We’re slowly getting the word out about this strange “new” world of getting paid for your content. Nobody will call this stuff an overnight success. I’m about 500 posts into this stuff, and I’m amazed that it’s still the best-kept secret on the web. You can actually make MONEY…
Seems that lady who fell into the mall fountain while texting (in a video that went viral, and resulted in her heartfelt news appearances) seems to have some prior convictions on her record… a few retail thefts and a hit and run. At least she didn’t appear to get any shoplifted goodies wet. For more…
You’d like to think there was a system that helped good videos surface to the top and garbage go away. Despite the voting and comment functionality, popularity is no more democratic than it was in high school. Proof: I have several videos where I’ve accidentally uploaded the same one twice.

Wasn’t that the reason the internet was made? Not to give you information about any topic in seconds and a place to meet new people but to give horny men the opportunity to watch hot looking women have sex 24/7. At least that’s what I thought the internet was all about. 🙂
On a serious note, how could sports videos not be towards the top of the list for men? Just about every guy I know visits sports sites on a daily basis just for sports videos. Maybe sites like ESPN don’t count because there aren’t any user generated videos there. If that is the case aren’t sports just another type of news?
Lol well my mum watches near enough edzacly what I watch.
side note: I was just thinking yesterday of all the people I subscribe to and watch, 50 total, on youtube – 4 are women, guess three, 1 child and the other 45 are all men.
Edie, I agree… clearly the results are offset by the lack of porn in the list.
not only did they leave out porn, they left out Shoes… which is really just porn for women. Yes, yes, there aren’t a lot of shoe video sites, but if there were, you’d see the “Females viewing Shoe Videos” numbers skyrocket.
Hahaha… One of our live shows was called “The Shoe Show”
I should film some of those sketches and get them online.
I watch videos for the fart/potty humor.
