YouTube Reaches 100MM Videos Served Daily
July 17th, 2006
On July 16, 2006, Reuters reports:
YouTube, the leader in Internet video search, said on Sunday viewers have [sic] are now watching more than 100 million videos per day on its site, marking the surge in demand for its “snack-sized” video fare.
…
YouTube boasts nearly 20 million unique users per month, according to Nielsen//NetRatings, another Internet audience measurement firm. [source]
I just posted this comment to TechCrunch:
YouTube will buy or imitate http://revver.com … and monetize these viral videos that are spreading like wildfire all over MySpace, blogs, and the social networks with simple and acceptable ads. Viewers will accept and enjoy post roll ads after YouTube content. This model will significantly disrupt the $40B US TV ad market. The viewer and the independent content creator are now back in charge of media entertainment.
BTW, I have also heard that companies are putting up corporate training and internal communication videos on YouTube just because it is so simple to use. Marketing departments now have a way to publish video and bypass their cranky IP departments. [source]
