[videoblogging] Re: Video Search: YouTube Dominates

[Markus Sandy]

hi and thanks for the reply. I have a few questions and observations: 1. who are you? do you both work for hitwise? 2. why did you choose to send me a private message instead of discussing this openly in the group? 3. the document you reference is far from informative about your methods and practices.  please give more details about your operation.  you reference pricewaterhouse, who states: ... the internal control structure, within which the control procedures that we have audited operate, has not been audited and no opinion is expressed as to its effectiveness. 4. why no pricewaterhouse certification for over a year?  Again, from their site that you reference: It should be noted that any projection of the evaluation of control procedures to future periods is subject to the risk that the procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with them may deteriorate. 5. who commissioned this report?  (i.e., who paid for it?) 6. are you indeed located in the Cocos Islands (a group of islands in the Indian Ocean, southwest of Indonesia, about halfway from Australia to Sri Lanka) as you email address domain suggests?  7.  Do you have a vlog or blog?  I think you might find that a short video introducing yourself (and showing your island home!) would go a long way to establishing some credibility. markus sandy heather02114 wrote: Thanks for commenting on the release we issued. The stats were really interesting. However, I want to clarify that the report was not commissioned by YouTube, my colleague LeeAnn put together the analysis based on data that we independently collect.

MySpace Videos is second with 24.2 percent of the video search traffic, Yahoo Video Search third with 9.58 percent and MSN Video Search fourth at 9.21 percent. Google Video, in fifth place, has a 6.48 percent share. </quote> More info... http://tinyurl.com/kkzvt -Matt ------------------ http://vlogmap.org Yahoo!
