Mm, I love the smell of data in the work day. Introduced in March 2008, YouTube Insight data and stats on video usage. In May of that year, they added demographic data.
YouTube's done a decent job of winning over content creators and rights holders, and its Content ID system, which lets them identify and profit from user-uploaded clips, has been a big part of that. Content ID may become an even more popular feature, too, now that a quirk has been ironed out.
YouTube has released a few new features for YouTube Insight, the site's video analytics offering. These are:
An entry on the White House blog looks at where President Barack Obama's YouTube videos are getting viewed the most. This of course varies from video to video, but it's interesting to look at.
The White House references an article from Micah L. Sifry at techPresident, who looks at YouTube Insight data to see what regions some of the President's speeches were most popular in.
YouTube has continuously been improving its video analytics program YouTube Insight since its launch last year.
"Whether you want to know how old your audience is, how many times your most-viewed video was rated last week, or which minute of your clip is most engaging, YouTube Insight can give you the answer. As we add functionality, we're careful to preserve YouTube Insight's clean and easy-to-use look and feel," says YouTube.
YouTube contacted WebProNews this afternoon to tell us about a new analytics feature it has just launched for YouTube Insight. A spokesperson tells me the feature gets more into engagement metrics than YouTube Insight has in the past.
Until now, YouTube Insight has only dealt with information related to views. With this launch it "will give uploaders information on how viewers interact with their videos," she says.
Earlier this year, YouTube rolled out YouTube Insight, an analytics program for videos that let users get a look into where and by whom videos were posted. They have launched a new feature of that service today, which allows you to actually pinpoint the specific parts of videos that get viewed the most. A post on the Official Google Blog explains:
