Until now, YouTube Insight has only dealt with information related to views. With this launch it "will give uploaders information on how viewers interact with their videos," she says.

With the next version of Internet Explorer, Microsoft is addressing the growing demand of Internet users for more privacy features in their browsers. Mozilla has had the upper hand in this regard, with Firefox giving users a convenient "clear private data" option, but Microsoft’s plans go even beyond anything Mozilla is doing yet.
Even with the growing popularity of watching television content online, the majority (94%) of adults still prefer to watch television on traditional TV sets, according to research from Nielsen for the Cable & Telecommunications Association for Marketing (CTAM).
Online video’s popularity is going to skyrocket, and there’s no reason for anyone to miss out on the profits, according to a new report. ABI Research predicts that, in the year 2013, over one billion people will watch some sort of clip online.

Approximately 65 percent of the 2,455 U.S. adults surveyed say they have watched a video on YouTube, compared to 42 percent during the same time last year.
