“Mid-Tail” / New Media Viewership Growing On YouTube

TubeMogul writes: “Michael Learmonth over at AdAge included some of these figures in his recent piece on YouTube’s future, but I thought I would share the full graph. Basically, we took the top 100 all-time most-viewed “mid-tail” or “new media studio” content creators (i.e. Next New Networks, Howcast Studios, The Wall Street Journal’s videos etc.) and looked at their viewership growth. The results? Over the past six months, publishers saw their daily average views grow by an average of 4.98% per month.”

Why YouTube Will Sink or Swim With Obama Girl (Advertising Age)

Why YouTube Will Sink or Swim With Obama Girl (Advertising Age): “Forget Hollywood. YouTube’s future lies less in “Desperate Housewives” and more in low-budget fare from producers such as Next New Networks, Machinima, Howcast and MondoMedia. That’s because for all the sound and fury over studio deals, long-form content just isn’t that popular on YouTube. Rather, it’s the so-called midtail content, which fills a niche somewhere between studio-produced and user-generated fare, that’s exploded.”
