Sun, 13 Nov 2011 15:18:00 -0800 Users Engage Video More on Tablets vs. Desktops http://fotofah.posterous.com/ooyala-users-engage-video-more-on-tablets-vs http://fotofah.posterous.com/ooyala-users-engage-video-more-on-tablets-vs

Ooyala: Users Engage Video More on Tablets vs. Desktops

Just how is video viewed? It's a timeless question with an ever-changing answer as new devices and services enter the market. And don't forget about the users, either: They're ultimately the ones doing all the viewing, and their preferences are what device manufacturers, Web services, and advertisers have been trying to nail down for years.

Ooyala, a video hosting platform, thinks it has the answers as the result of a deep dive into its database of viewing statistics – the results of which have been distributed in the company's first-ever quarterly report on video viewership. And here are the big takeaways for Q3 2011: Here come the tablets, here comes the iPad, and here comes a lot of Facebook sharing.

Specifically, Ooyala's metrics found that users viewing videos on tablet devices were "most engaged" with videos over any other medium, including smartphones, desktop PCs, and living room devices (consoles, set-top boxes, et cetera). By that, we meant that tablet users were most likely to continue watching a video anywhere from one-fourth of its duration all the way to its very end. In total, tablet users watched an average of 28 percent more video per play than their desktop counterparts.

Desktop video viewing still reigns supreme for total videos played and hours watched. However, desktop and laptop users were far more likely to watch short clips – 52 percent of all recorded video views were for clips under three minutes, on average. A total of 42 percent of all videos watched on tablets were greater than 10 minutes in length. But that's almost a drop in the bucket compared to videos viewed on set-top boxes and gaming consoles, where 75 percent of all videos watched were greater than 10 minutes long.

Focusing in on tablets, the iPad took the lion's share of video viewing in Ooyala's report: 97.4 percent of all tablet video plays and 95.7 percent of all video hours streamed. But Apple's commanding presence isn't quite so powerful in Ooyala's smartphone analytics, where iPhones only accounted for 56.2 percent of all video plays (to Android's 36.8 percent) and 44.4 percent of total hours played (to Android's 49.1 percent).

When it comes to finding and sharing videos, Ooyala found that Facebook generally beats Twitter. However, the ratio of Facebook video shares to Twitter video shares – as measured by Ooyala – differs dramatically by region. Italian video watchers were 17 times more likely to share videos on Facebook than Twitter, whereas the ratio became nearly 1:1 in countries like Japan.

Ooyala's study focused on video metrics measured between July 1 and September 30, taken as a cross-section of the company's consumer and partner database. According to Ooyala, more than 100 million unique users watch a video delivered by the company's platform each month.

Wed, 10 Aug 2011 16:04:00 -0700 Narrowing down to videos worth watching online: free app, Showyou, for iPad http://fotofah.posterous.com/narrowing-down-to-videos-worth-watching-onlin http://fotofah.posterous.com/narrowing-down-to-videos-worth-watching-onlin

Showyou_app_free-1

 

From their email to me today:

When we first launched Showyou, our goal was to make it both fun and useful. And we think you'll find Showyou 2.0 for the iPad twice as fun, and twice as useful, as the first version.

First, you can now search for videos, and it's delightful. Results are displayed in the fun-to-browse and efficient Showyou grid. Equally important, the results are "people-powered" -- every one of the millions of videos in our database is there because someone on Showyou, or one of their friends, decided it was worth sharing.

Second, there are now more grids to browse. Starting today, any publisher can create a Grid on Showyou with videos they've made, or curated. You'll find Grids from The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, TED and dozens more. Beware, you'll spend hours watching videos once you dive in.

We've also updated the Showyou interface, and simplified the ways to share videos. And for this version of the app, there's a snazzy new red icon.

One more thing: you can now share videos by email. Finally!

More details on all these changes on our blog (link below). And here's a handy link to get the updated app if you need it:

Thanks for your support, and stay tuned -- there's (a lot) more to come soon.
