YouTube and Women
Filed Under Online Video | Leave a Comment
Daily traffic to video-sharing sites such as YouTube has doubled in the last year.
…another interesting fact is that the number of women visiting has doubled as well!
According to the latest research by Pew Internet:
48% of internet users said they had ever visited a video-sharing site such as YouTube. A year ago, in December 2006, 33% of internet users said they had ever visited such sites. That represents growth of more than 45% year-to-year.
15% of respondents said they had used a video-sharing site “yesterday” — the day before they were contacted for our survey. A year ago, 8% had visited such a site “yesterday.” Thus, on an average day, the number of users of video sites nearly doubled from the end of 2006 to the end of 2007
Nearly a third of wired young adults (30%) watch a video on a site like YouTube on a typical day and fully a fifth of online men (20%) do the same.
The percent of women who visit a video site on an average day jumped from 5% to 11%.
The percent of those ages 30 to 49, whose use on a typical day increased from 7% to 14% (or an increase of 100%)
The percent ofhigh school graduates, whose use on a typical day grew from 5% to 13% (or an increase of 160%).
The spread of broadband is partially responsible for the increased popularity of video sites. The survey found that 54% of all adults now have high-speed connections at home.

YouTube.com Announce 1Gb File Uploads
Filed Under Online Video | Leave a Comment
Have a hard drive full of new videos?
…form the YouTube Announcement page:
http://www.youtube.com/blog?entry=exPJxpwQNfQ
With the YouTube Uploader, we’ve now made it easier to get them all live on the site. This small piece of software lets you upload multiple videos to YouTube at the same time; each video can be up to 10 minutes in length and up to 1GB in size.
That’s right, no more compressing to 100MB - we want your big files!
Right now the YouTube Uploader is only available for Windows PCs but we’re cooking up a Mac version too. To get started, just go to the installer webpage and download the software.
Then you’ll be able to access the Multifile Upload page and start your, well, uploading. These videos will be available in My Videos after they have finished processing.
(Note: it may take 30 minutes or more for extremely large files to appear on your page.)
We link to the Multifile Upload page from today’s single file upload page so you can always find your way back.
