Average length is one-and-a-half minutes. There are only 1440 minutes in a day. - Robert Scoble

Chinese video site Tudou is getting 30,000 a day which shows how big Chinese market is. - Robert Scoble

How many videos does YouTube get in a day? - Robert Scoble

But how many of those are good videos? - Brian

Good for whom? - muzo

Brian 99% of everything is crap. That is still a lot of good videos! - Robert Scoble

I agree 1% may be useful, but facebook have issues with UX as it is - finding and using the 1% of good apps is an issue as it is. Hope they do better in video. - Steven Livingstone-Pérez from twhirl

If you have any questions about YouTube stats this is the guy to ask, he offers a college class in the anthropology of YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Aryeh

Are you going to post your interview, Robert? - Mason Lee

thing is, out of those 100,000 new vids a day how many of them are dupes, how many get decent and consistant views etc. Something inside of me never likes the pure "we're getting x amount of y", all it ever shows is the volume of use. Do they have these stats showing the percentage of users taking part (is it a small minority making use of it?)... context, it's all about context :) - alphaxion

Questions about them being good, or the UI to find them, the dupes etc only look at the situation from one end. From the other end, it does not matter how good they are, or how many times something is posted, or how many times something is watched. It's about the act of creation or the act of sharing. It's that gesture that is important to the person involved. - Rachel Clarke

@rachel I'm talking a business sense. Getting base upload stats is one thing, looking at the proportion of users uploading said videos (uptake), patterns of use and viewing rates help to bring about a better picture of how the feature is developing etc. - alphaxion

aphaxion. Yep, you're right. I was responding to the general tone of the discussion. You have at least 3 constituents - the 'creator' (or uploader), the viewers (their friends) and the business offering the service. I think too often a general discussion tends to focus on the viewer (about FB or YT or the others) without taking on the wider picture - Rachel Clarke

wow, it's almost *as if* we're in a productivity crisis and people are spending their work day screwing around with social media. Almost ... - Melanie McBride

I think Facebook should be talking about where they're planning to go and be in the next ten years. They may - I actually don't watch the company at all as a barometer of what's going on online, so if they have talked about it, I've missed it. - Patricia

I do have to say loading videos on Facebook is much faster than YouTube. - Victhor The Viking from twhirl
