Google Video is no match for YouTube!
Written by Jay Meattle (contact - e-mail) -- October 5th, 2006 | Recommend ThisYes, I confess. I am a YouTube AND Google Video addict. Heck, so are a lot of other people! In August, 23.7 million US people visited YouTube, while 7.8 million people visited Google Video.
Do I think one service is better than the other? Absolutely. Which one you ask? YouTube for sure. Why? It’s just better. It has a more involved community, more obscure videos, more interesting videos, better interface, faster uploads, and of course - YouTube IS home to LonelyGirl15. Need I say more?
But seriously, enough of what I think. What is the people’s verdict?
-
- Back in November 2005, Google Video was more popular than YouTube. A whopping 400,000 more people visited Google Video.
- In August, 15.9 million more people used YouTube vs Google Video! Quite a turn-around!
- YouTube has grown 483% since January, while Google Video has grown 279%. Wow.
- Verdict: YouTube is the clear winner in terms of Visitors to the site.
-
- People come back to YouTube.. again and again. In August, on average each YouTube user visited the site 4 times over the course of the month. While Google Video visitors returned just 1.6 times.
- Verdict: YouTube is the clear winner in terms of Frequency of Visits.
-
- In August, on average YouTuber’s spent 10 minutes on the site each time they visited, while Google visitors spent around 8 minutes.
- Verdict: YouTube is again the clear winner in terms of Average Stay per Session.
More people visit YouTube, they come back to the site more often, and spend more time on the site each time they visit. That is a certifiable triple whammy and a knockout punch rolled into one. The winner of this battle is clearly YouTube by a mile, and then some!

Google Video is no match for YouTube

Kauft Google jetzt YouTube?
In den USA brodelt die Gerüchteküche. Angeblich will der Suchmaschinenbetreiber Google für 1,6 Mrd. $ das Videoportal YouTube kaufen. Techcrunch vermutet eine "Wahrscheinlichkeit von 40 %", dass an dem Gerücht was dran ist: "We know …

Google + YouTube?
TechCrunch claims Google is in talks to buy YouTube for $1.5 billion. Sheez. Of course, it’s prefaced with the phrase “completely unsubstantiated” meaning who knows.
I’ll agree with ZDNet in the thought that one quick and easy w…

Google (GOOG) is in talks to buy YouTube for $1.6 billion, the Wall Street Journal is reporting, citing “a person familiar with the matter.”
TechCrunch reported the same thing earlier today.
While Google has its own streaming video site, Google Video, it reportedly has only about a third of the traffic of YouTube. …

There have been a lot of news/rumors about Google potentially buying YouTube for $1.6 billion. Two excellent posts about this:
Compete analyzes the traffic metrics of both sites and concludes Google Video is no match for YouTube.

Well turns out the speculation, which was first reported on Techcrunch on Friday, was true. Google has acquired YouTube for $1.65 Billion in stock….

How will Google and Youtube co-exist….
You tell me. I’m not much of a business person.
But it’s great that Google bought over Youtube. I for one actually use Youtube (although I was a bit hesitant in the beginning) and it is quite a nifty tool to watch videos that are rare or …

Here is my take. I think the main motive behind the acquisition is more towards video ad revenue rather than information accessibility. However, they had to pay a really high price for that along with many loopholes such as legal liability from copyright holders that could wipe out YouTube from existence like Napster. Another issue, is that copyright law is quite vague in terms of online interpretations and that could play a major role in Google’s legal liability. So, I would suggest that Google and YouTube spend some real time and money trying to convince these copyright holders to establish partnerships with them as they have with Universal and Sony. On another front, they are going to also motivate yahoo and microsoft to start advancing in their video services as well as possible acquisitions. If this becomes succesful, yahoo and msn are going to feel the pain of not taking action of acquiring youtube. Well, it is really the choices and the actions we take that really determine the success. Lets wait and see.

Recently a good friend of mine told me to go to the local pharmacy and buy myself Rabeprazole. I am very curious to know what kind of medicine is this? Anyone can help?
I will be very grateful indeed.

Hi peeps
I’m in the process of looking to hire an SEO firm to optimise my website so that i can sell more of my products online. I also would like a stronger presence in the search engines then at present. I have heard from a few mates in the industry that for SEO in Birmingham, UK that Nu Order Web Design Ltd are very good and actually having seen their results they have achieved they certainly appear to do what they say.
So basically u just wanted to know if anyone had any dealings with them, (apart from my mates) as their prices seem very reasonable as well!.
Can anyone recommend their SEO or web design services?
thanks

Борьба мышей: Микки или Диддл?
Где-то в моде Покемоны, где-то - черепашки Ниндзя. А есть такой популярный герой - мышонок Diddl. С этим милым существом делают мягкие игрушки, кружки сувениры, канцтовары, товары для школы и многое другое.
Если Вы выбираете подарок ребенку для своего ребенка, то лучшего, чем это существо Вам не найти.
Это что то среднее между мышонком и тушканчиком. Его имя знает все школьники в Европе.
Это - Диддл (Diddl). Для того чтобы понять, насколько он популярен, достаточно зайти в любую школу. Вы тотчас же увидите его на всех предметах: карандашах, рюкзаках, сумках, пеналах
Всего более 1000 товаров, со Diddlom. Даже сами производители не могут объяснить, с чем связана популярность Диддла.
Теперь и в Росси появился детский магазин где можно купить Товары Diddl, Diddlina, Galupy, Пимболи, Mimihopps

Доброго времени суток, форумчане сайта blog.compete.com ;)
Ответьте мне, пожалуйста, на несколько вопросов…
- какая программа умеет автоматически за НЕСКОЛЬКО СЕКУНД регистрировать ящики на mail.ru и многих других почтовиках?
- какая программа умеет автоматом рассылать по mamba.ru и loveplanet.ru по заданным параметрам, при этом еще поддерживая функции автоответчика?
- а также сможет разослать по форумам текст (например) “где купить валенки?”, а потом в ответ на этот текст ОТ ДРУГОГО имени и IP написать (например) “только на сайте megavalenki.ru!”?
- плюс распознаёт картинки и вопросы а-ля “что написано на этой картинке?”, “сколько будет 2+2?” и “какой сейчас год?” и умеет корректно на них отвечать?
- какая программа сможет разослать топики по форумам, попутно автоматически регистрироваться на них и создавая подробный отчет о проделанной работе?
- и при этом работает с разнообразными движками - phpBB, VBulletin, IPB, ExBB, Icon Board, YaBB, UltimateBB, множеством различных гостевых, досок и блогов?
- какую программу вы МОЖЕТЕ переделать под свой вкус?
- какая программа автоматически обновляет прокси / SOCKS, обеспечивая вам полную анонимность? (достаточно просто нажать ОДНУ кнопку)
- какая программа умеет рассылать персональные сообщения всем пользователям форумов phpBB, IPB, VBulletin?
- какая программа отсортирует Вашу базу ссылок по Google PageRank?
- какая программа МАССОВО отредактирует все Ваши ранее разосланные объявления по форумам?
- и при этом еще регулярно обновляется и совершенствуется.
Ответ ОДИН: всё это и многое другое под силу программному комплексу XRumer 4.085 Platinum Edition + Hrefer 2.85
Данный комплекс имеет множество отзывов на авторитетных источниках (Washington Post, Wikipedia и т.п.), имеет историю активного развития более 3-х лет.
Just Google! ;)
