Hi Andrew: I just took a look and I think that the stats page is pretty amazing. The social media tracking is especially interesting.
Here are a few questions/comments: 1. I'm curious if the embed code link that you have is the same embed code as the one that, for example, YouTube offers (if it is a YouTube video). 2. Under Explore>Twitter, what does it mean to "Follow a channel?" I clicked and it did not take me to Twitter's site to follow. Would a channel have to sync up with Twitter by starting a new Twitter account for it? 3. On the about page, under Your Channel, it says "Click to add an off- site video." Does that mean that you'll be hosting content and handling bandwidth, or is that just for adding links to existing video that is online and being hosted elsewhere (with permission of course, and abiding by various sites' Terms of Service). I would think that the whole TOS thing will be a headache to deal with since you can't control from where people pull things in (or maybe you have a way to deal with that issue). I noticed on the Weird Al video that it reads "Embedding disabled by request." 4: What does it mean if something "comes from Del.icio.us?" as it reads under some of the videos? By the way, the John Adams Visual FX (HBO) video that is featured (from YouTube) is amazing (be sure to click on "watch in HD"). All the best, Andrew -------------------------------------------------- Andrew Darlow Editor, The Imaging Buffet http://www.imagingbuffet.com Author, 301 Inkjet Tips and Techniques: An Essential Printing Resource for Photographers - http://www.inkjettips.com On Aug 5, 2009, at 6:49 PM, andrew michael baron wrote: > Thanks Rupert.
