YouTube on Your TV
Have you ever wanted to just sit on your couch and watch YouTube on your TV? Well, now that's possible via YouTube for Television, initially available through the Sony PS3 and Nintendo Wii game consoles at www.youtube.com/tv. Currently in beta, the TV Website offers a dynamic, lean-back, 10-foot television viewing experience through a streamlined interface that enables you to discover, watch and share YouTube videos on any TV screen with just a few quick clicks of your remote control. With enlarged text and simplified navigation, it makes watching YouTube on your TV as easy and intuitive as possible. Optional auto-play capability enables users to view related videos sequentially, emulating a traditional television experience. The TV Website is available internationally across 22 geographies and in over 12 languages.
As previously blogged, YouTube has partnered directly with major TV and set-top box manufacturers to bring YouTube into the living room. Still, very few such devices today contain a Web browser or provide access to YouTube. Our hope is that this site may help to accelerate an industry evolution towards open television access to Web video. Over time, we plan to add support for additional TV devices that provide Web browsers.
So grab some popcorn, gather your friends and sit back and enjoy the YouTube TV Website.Labels: internet, nintendo, ps3, sony, television, tv, video, videos, web, webtv, wii, youtube

Online Video sites: What Constitutes a View? A Lot's Changed.
Basically, we measured what counts as a "view" across video sharing sites. This study was initially published last June to great fanfare, so we re-executed it under current conditions, this time testing 14 sites to see if views are counted for refreshes, watching more than half a video, watching a video to completion and watching embedded videos.
The results? All but three video sites tested log "views" once the player starts, no matter how much of a video is viewed. YouTube and Yahoo!, which formerly had stricter, IP address-based constraints, lessened their standards, now counting everything once a video starts playing. Blip and MetaCafe are lone holdouts to an IP address-based standard.

The Power of Population - Chinese Video Websites
I have been experimenting with posting video on Chinese video websites. I have found that they produce higher numbers on average than most US based video sites.. I performed an experiment uploading the same video to 10 of the most popular video websites on the same day. The video was online for one month. The results showed that a Chinese website 56.com came out at the top of the pack.. Checkout the results below.
The video: YanBian Beatboxers - JT Remix
Description: Checkout the YanBian Beatboxers featuring 3 of Chinas best beatboxers, Herry, Muzzle, and Leo, from the town of Yanji, China.. They drop their own remaix of Justin Timberlake - Sexy Back.. its pretty sick!!
The Results:
#1
56.com - 141,740
#2
Youtube.com - 6,394
Break.com – 1,037
Youku.com – 505
Yahoo Video – 191
LiveVideo.com – 44
I plan on doing more case studies like this in the future.. if you have any questions or feedback.. email me here info@studiox.tv
