clipper's remarks: Yah, this is sick. Google is on fire.

Google has mashed up two of its more popular services, adding geotagged YouTube videos to Google Earth. The new YouTube layer can be found in the featured content folder in Google Earth's layers section.

1/5 of americans are like this girl

clipper's remarks: I was browsing the Youtube comments and saw this from
bunnygrandravine- "One fifth of americans can't locate USA on a world map because one fifth of Americans are exactly like this girl." I began to think about if I was asked a random question, on stage, in front of 300 million viewers, I would studder and stumble over the answer.

Did anyone watch the whole thing; did anyone see any of the other contestants answers? I just can't believe the video has received over 11 million views in under a week.

YouTube Monetization

clipper's remarks: someone explain CPM to me? (please)

Clip Source: www.onlinevideowatch.com

Apparently YouTube has decided that animated overlay ads are the way to go in online video, at least for now. Their solution: in-stream ads on the bottom fifth of partner videos for a $20 CPM.

It seems to me that a site like YouTube, with their massive bandwidth costs and traffic ranked 4th overall, would be more aggressive than this and monetize more effectively.

Apparently Google has bigger plans in store for YouTube. Cheers to them for being so cautious to avoid irritating viewers but I would love to get a hold of their long term monetization strategy.

Hitwise has done an interesting study on the correlation of the search terms “funny videos” and “YouTube” in the UK.

the word YouTube has replaced the phrase “funny video” for searches on the Internet.

This implies a distinct identification with YouTube as a brand, and the concept of funny videos.

YouTube Remixer

YouTube releases a video editing tool which remixes your 'tube clips using a Flash-based in-browser application.

Drag and drop your clips to a timeline (much like iMovie) and add music, effects, graphics, captions and borders. The remixer is throwing a couple of "still working out the kinks" hiccups here and there this morning, but it's still a fun and easy way to splice, slice and dice your clips together.

News Corp and NBC Universal are expected to announce as early as today that they’re teaming up to create the “YouTube Killer” that’s long been expected from the big media companies. The site will include TV shows and movies, plus the ability for users to edit clips and share them (no mention of user-generated content).

The pair have already struck partnership deals with Yahoo, Microsoft and AOL. The content provided by Fox and NBC includes “Heroes” and “The Office”, “Family Guy” and “24″. Movies from Universal Pictures and 20th Century Fox will also be sold. Time Warner, CBS and Sony Pictures haven’t agreed to a deal.

Wiitube

WiiTube’s name should be self-explanatory: it’s a niche video site for Wii videos. Not to be confused with WiiToob, which launched a few weeks back and offers a big interface for interacting with YouTube videos on your Wii, WiiTube is a brand new site that’s more concerned with videos about the Wii than providing a bigger interface for viewing on a console.

WiiTube is a particularly nice attempt - it includes ratings, tags, profile pages, commenting and special sections for cheats, clips of your awesome Wii skills and trailers of upcoming games. Videos aren’t uploaded to Wiitube, though - instead, you just add the embed code from YouTube, Google Video, Break.com, Metacafe and other popular sites.

In some ways, sites that do this (Flixya is another one) are leeching bandwidth but keeping the ad revenue - if they’re using Adsense, then perhaps GoogTube isn’t too worried, though.

One improvement I’d like to see: the default avatar is a Gravatar logo which none of the users seem to have changed: perhaps they could provide some game character avatars to choose from on sign-up so that every user doesn’t look exactly the same. Besides that, nice attempt.

Yahoo's Singing News Show!?!?

Singing News - Yahoo has announced that it will produce a show where a crooner sings the news headlines. “Odd News Underground” will be launched by the end of this quarter. But there’s a site that already has thousands of these quirky ideas: YouTube. Why is Yahoo still making content when it should be providing the platform for user generated content, or licensing good stuff from the TV networks? (via)

YouTube appeases music labels with AudioSwap

YouTube rolled out another round of updates last night, and the effect could be significant. The most remarkable change seems to be the launch of AudioSwap, a place to find free soundtracks for your videos while avoiding copyright concerns. Users who have already uploaded videos are given the option to switch their soundtracks for licensed music with attribution, hence the name. Of course, that seems like it’s more about appeasing the music labels than providing great music for your videos. AudioSwap has been launched in the TestTube section, suggesting it’s not quite ready for prime time.

Slide.com, purveyor of MySpace slideshows and other widgety bling, has just launched an inspired new concept: YouTube skins. Announced to users today, “SkinFlix” lets you enter the URL of any YouTube video and add frames to make it look like a Plasma TV, a theater, a vanity mirror, an old-fashioned TV and more. You can also add animations like disco lights, falling snow and floating hearts. Slide maintains the link back to YouTube (although it’ll be disabled by MySpace if you embed it there) and also adds some Slide.com images at the bottom linking back to the SkinFlix page.

YouTube "Ad's" Pulled

clipper's remarks: I agree, blatant ad's on YouTube should be banned. All corporate activities in the social media space must add "value" to the community.

VIDEO ADS ON YOUTUBE MUST meet the same standards for truth and accuracy as ads in other media, the National Advertising Division of the Council of Better Business Bureaus ruled in a decision released Thursday.

The ruling marked the first time the NAD--the investigative arm of the ad industry's self-policing operation--considered claims of false advertising on video-sharing sites.

"This case establishes a precedent," Andrea Levine, the director of NAD, said in a statement e-mailed to OnlineMediaDaily. "When an advertiser places a video on a site like YouTube and uses it, either to make claims about its own product or to compare its product to a competitor's product, those claims are advertising claims and, by law, require substantiation."

The case stemmed from an ad campaign for Dyson vacuum cleaners touting their allegedly superior ability to suction dirt without clogging. The campaign included a YouTube video that showed Dyson outperforming vacuums made by competitors. One Dyson rival featured in the video, Euro-Pro, complained to the NAD, claiming that the ad was deceptive because the vacuums used in the test had different-sized receptacles, among other reasons.

Dyson pulled the video from YouTube, but the NAD still ruled on the issue. "Dyson's video depicted a comparative product demonstration and was therefore advertising and subject to the legal requirement that it be truthful and accurate," stated the opinion.

CBS and Google: Making more YouTube Deals

CBS and Google are in "serious talks" aimed at making the content of CBS television shows available on Google-acquired YouTube, where it could be sponsored by local advertisers, Advertising Age reported Thursday. The two sides are reportedly seeking to settle on a guaranteed amount that CBS would be paid for its programs. The trade publication said that the deal would also include a provision under which Google would pay CBS additional compensation for "past transgressions" -- the posting of CBS content in the past -- for which the network received no payment but which helped to make YouTube worth $1.65 billion when Google acquired it last November.
