Research Study Profiles “Engaged” Online-Video Viewers

ByNalts

ReelSEO has a nice post about a recent Forrester & Veoh study that characterized the 40% of us “engaged viewers” that watch about 75% of the online-videos. The online-video users, like web surfers, will soon resemble the general population. But for now we’re a unique bunch, and the post has some takeaways for advertisers… advertainment…

Hurricane Irene: Best and Worst of Live Online Coverage (and Puerto Rico Street Shark)

ByNalts

Forget FEMA and television newscasters. How’d the web do for live coverage of Irene? Surely I’m not the only guy bored by our local coverage, as Yahoo Buzz puts “Hurricane Irene” as the third-most searched term on Yahoo (after the words Facebook and YouTube). So how are we doing? Well the online-video coverage is varying…

  1. Here are the one’s I like.

    Atom Films – higher quality more professional films, revenue sharing

    Reel to reel – higher quality, more professional videos.

    Revver – opportunity for revenue sharing but difficult to get exposure for your video. No groups to join that I could find. They take any video except hard porn. There is some sort of review process for selecting videos for Verizon VCast that in my opinion is not very good. The majority of their videos on V-cast aren’t that great even though they have lots of great stuff avilable on their site that they could use instead. The contests are interesting and fun.

    Flixya – opportunity for revenue sharing but difficult to expose your video. Haven’t seen any contests yet. No groups to join.

    Friendster- Very difficult to embed a video from another site. It can be done, but only in a round about way.

    Jumpcut – bad quality video but best web design by far. It’s the best site for getting videos viewed by others), more contests than all others I have seen. By far, the most fun. The major two downfals are the you can’t embed videos from other sites, and the quality is not as good as others mentioned above.

    Magnify.net – This is best for small private groups. Don’t expect high exposure from the groups within this site.

  2. Here is a link to a very good discussion anout the top sharing sites. I found it quite useful and didn’t see anything that I disagreed with. The only thing I would add is that Jumpcut’s web design is superior. However, their video quality is not nearly as good as the majority of their competitors, and there is no way to wornload a video from their site.
