that’s a testament to lr’s staff and faithful.

keep up the good work, y’all!

now, can we move on?

you just quote hurley’s unsubstantiated headline. put a big fat endorsing headline on it and then say: hey he said it.

your work for a broadcast organization. would they let that kind of unstantiated “fact” just float out there? not in my newsroom or on my broadcast or website.

i come back to broadcast journalism and just plain old journalism 101. you either report or cheerlead and in this case i think you did the latter. grade here has to be an F.

and washigtonchannel is right. *somebody* is making money but not necessarily YouTube as LR’s headline would lead a user to believer.

be a guy cory. admit you were wrong and let’s move on.

burning through a million dollars a month in bandwidth is generating a million dollars in revenue for somebody!

that’s significant, right?

make it as entertaining as some guy slipping on a bar of soap and voila!, an audience!!!

hopefully, someone had a camera on it and will post it on yt!!!

flotsam and i have simply taken the man’s own words to task.

he questions the statement about “significant revenue” and i about the “decision to put content online”.

i’d have questioned the line about revenue, but he beat me to it!

I get asked so often “Aren’t most of the videos on YouTube lousy?” Yes. And that’s not even close to the point. 100 percent of the videos get watched. Even if it’s by one or two people, each small video with a small audience adds up to a large audience.

Flotsam: I’m surprised at you. You’re a longtime reader. What an ugly, insulting thing to say to Cory. You’ve written some stuff here I didn’t agree with before. But this time I hope you’ll reconsider your words. Cory puts his name behind his.

Some times when you give people a soap box, they give a great speech. Some times, they just slip on the soap.

The majority of YouTube’s traffic comes from group-level video consumption. For example, the five guys who go to Mexico and shoot a video and then share it with all their friends. Keep in mind YouTube receives 65,000 videos a day, and only a few of them are highlighted on the home page, and only a few spike with big numbers. It’s the long tail that’s accounting for all the traffic. All the 5-10-15 viewed clips that are shared in small groups.

That’s why broadcasters don’t get it. The long tail eludes them. And they’re missing a tremendous opportunity because of it.

1. YouTube is one of the biggest media phenomenons in recent memory. In just over a year, it now commands the majority of all video consumed online. People are now visiting YouTube as a default to find video, even if they know the video was produced by another site. It’s the Google effect all over again.

2. Traditional media sits around with its lawyers, scratches its head and stays out of the unmoderated user-created video space while YouTube and the portals grab the biggest audience — one of the biggest media mistakes in recent memory.

3. User video is still in its infancy. Just imagine how much video will be flying around in just a few years as every new cell phone has built-in video capability. The people have spoken: they want complete control over their video experience.

Just like in the early days of Lost Remote when we praised Craigslist up and down, I’m praising YouTube with the hope that someone out there realizes that it’s time to compete before it’s too late.

With Craigslist, it didn’t work. Maybe this time it will.

the line “when people make a decision to put content online” is rather a joke: more often than not that content belongs to someone else. some decision.

other than that it’s like a guy said earlier today; a guy getting it in the nads.

lr has taken to task any and all old media-types, don’t let the new guys slide.

Did you read the story that I linked? It said:

YouTube is producing “significant revenues,” Hurley said

That’s all the information Hurley provided. And I’m sorry, I don’t have access to their internal numbers. Neither does anyone else outside YouTube.

And you may notice I put quotes around it in the headline, as well.
