GoogleTube

Exactly one year ago I asked:

Will YouTube break the Top 10 within 12 months (~50 million visitors)? I think it is more likely that YouTube will hit that milestone than not. We’ll just have to wait and watch.

YouTube did it, and in record time. Faster than MySpace, Digg and Facebook. In June 2007 (within 8 months of my post) they broke into the top 10 with just over 50 million unique visitors.

Take a look at the chart below:

Now let’s take a look at how some of their other key metrics have performed under Google’s watch:

YouTube Traffic Progress Summary

Nothing but good news here. Today, more people are visiting YouTube, they come back to the site more often, spend more time on the site each time they visit, and view more videos. All in all, Google is doing well with YouTube, and is managing to hold on to a good thing. However, I hope they keep doing more.

    Jay Meattle wrote a post on how YouTube is growing after it was acquired by Google (it’s doing fine), and he uses a chart to illustrate growth of unique visitors relative to the launch date.
    Myspace, Youtube, Facebook, and Digg are plotted.

    YouTubeRobot.com today announces YouTube Robot 2.0, a tool that enables you to download video from YouTube.com onto your PC, convert it to various formats to watch it when you are on the road on mobile devices like mobile phone, iPod, iPhone, Pocket PC, PSP, or Zune.

    YouTube Robot allows you to search for videos using keywords or browse video by category, author, channel, language, tags, etc. When you find something noteworthy, you can preview the video right in YouTube Robot and then download it onto the hard disk drive. The speed, at which you will be downloading, is very high: up to 5 times faster than other software when you download a single file and up to 4 times faster when you download multiple files at a time.

    Manual download is not the only option with YouTube Robot. You may as well schedule the download and conversion tasks to be executed automatically, even when you are not around. Downloading is followed by conversion to the format of your choice and uploading videos to a mobile device (if needed). For example, you can plug in iPod, select the video, go to bed, and when you wake up next morning, your iPod will be ready to play new YouTube videos.
