Videos vs. Search and a Low-Tech Stumble Upon

At my new gig at CURE International, I was sitting through a 3-hr initial meeting with a PR firm that specializes (among other things) multi-channel marketing and messaging for non-profits called Masterworks. I shared emails with their director of interactive media, went to his Twitter account, and then to their corporate blog when I ran across this fact posted there.



August 2009
# of searches of Google: 9.4 Billion
# of videos viewed on YouTube: 10 Billion

Yup... that's right. YouTube is delivering more VIDEOS than Google is processing searches. Still think buying YouTube was a mistake by Google?

Sounds like a good time to be in the video software market...

Cheers - cause I'm so British,
