YouTube Celebrates 1 Billion Views - Per Day!

Posted October 9th, 2009 by David

Users logging onto the YouTube website today will notice a nifty badge with accompanying text celebrating 1 billion video views per day. That’s 1,000,000,000 (yes, nine zeroes!) videos watched every single day! While ComScore reports indicated the service had surpassed the 1 billion mark several months ago, this is the first official indication of such data.

Instead of analyzing the impact of these metrics from an industry standpoint, here are a few YouTube video view fun facts:

To reach 1 billion YouTube video views per day, every person in the United States would have to have viewed 3 YouTube videos that day.
Approximately one in every seven people worldwide would have to view at least 1 YouTube video every day.
At 7 megabytes per video, more than 7,000 terabytes of video would be transferred each day (that’s 7 million gigabytes!)
More than 10 hours of video is uploaded to YouTube each minute. That’s 14,400 hours of original content per day! If stored on film, the daily amount of content uploaded to YouTube would reach the moon and back - 308 times.

Warner, YouTube Reach Agreement; VEVO talks to begin

Posted September 26th, 2009 by David

There is good news tonight for Muziic and YouTube users as reports have surfaced indicating Warner and YouTube have reached an agreement that will allow the uploading of Warner content to YouTube once again. Popular artists in the Warner catalog include Green Day, Madonna and U2.

Many videos containing content licensed from Warner were muted, or removed from YouTube after negotiations for the renewal of Warner’s contract broke down last December.

While the details of the agreement have not been disclosed, the contract will likely operate on conditions similar to those of other major labels. Compensation is typically received on a “pay-per-play” basis, with a split ad-revenue model also in place.

Warner is reportedly entering discussions with VEVO, the upcoming premium music video site operating as a joint-venture between Universal and Sony. Warner’s involvement is said to be “non-exclusive”, meaning content would be licensed to VEVO on terms similar to YouTube’s contracts with the labels, and not as a joint-venture stake in the company.

The potential for a VEVO-Warner deal is part of a wider effort on Warner’s part to expand content availability on free, ad-supported music websites.

Share music on Twitter with Muziic AutoTweet

Posted September 24th, 2009 by Muziic Team

Since the launch of Muziic 2.0, one of our most popular new features has been the ability to easily share music videos and songs with friends on social networks such as Twitter and Facebook.

Muziic 2.0 contains a unique feature for users who enjoy “tweeting” what they’re listening to. Muziic “AutoTweet” allows you to input your Twitter username and password to automatically update your Twitter status with the song you are currently playing as well as a link for your friends to play that song on Muziic Web Player.

To enable Muziic AutoTweet, select “AutoTweet” from the Settings menu in Muziic Player 2.0 - next, type your Twitter username and password, and click “Apply”.

After saving your Twitter login information, Muziic will automatically post to your Twitter account when you play videos. To disable AutoTweet, simply uncheck “Enable Muziic AutoTweet” in the settings dialog box.

Users who enjoy participating in the common “Music Monday” trend on Twitter will appreciate the automatic addition of “#musicmonday” to AutoTweets published on Mondays.
