Study: 71% of Online Americans Use Online Video Sites

Video is becoming more and more important to U.S. Internet users, with the use of video-sharing sites like YouTube and Vimeo up 5% compared with last year, according to a new study.

The study, from the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life project, revealed that video-sharing site usage has risen to 71% of online Americans (up from 66% last year) equally split across gender lines. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the sites tend to be frequented by younger viewers, with 92% of users aged 18-29 using them, compared with 54% of ages 50-64 and only 31% of users aged 65 and above. Hispanic users are more likely to use the sites than African American or Caucasian users (81% versus 76% and 69%, respectively), and those based in urban areas are more likely than those in suburbia or rural areas (72% versus 71% and 68%, respectively).

Interestingly, the study found that increased use of these sites coincides with increases in site content, and suggests that the rise in watching videos online is connected to a rise in making videos: "Some 34% of the cell phone owners in the country have shot video with their phone; 26% have watched video on their phone; and 22% have posted videos or photos online," says the report.

Perhaps that's what Hulu's been needing all along: More user-created content.

YouTube Begins to Teach its Partners to Get Videos Viral

Previously in this March, Google's subsidiary YouTube acquired video production team Next New Networks to help their partners to create more attractive, high quality and viral videos. It seems that YouTube is very eager to its video quality. According to The New York Times, YouTube makes another move toward some excellent video creators – to teach them the video making skills.

YouTube called up some video partners to New York to teach them some tricks and skills about how to create viral videos. Some tricks are seemingly rather useful, such as don't upload your videos to YouTube on Friday afternoon and contact key bloggers via Email to ask them to post a link to your video. By doing this, video creators can bring out more viral videos and drive higher traffic to YouTube, so that YouTube can earn more money from video advertising, which is the reason why YouTube made this boot camp for their partners.

So far few people can make six figures income a year purely from video making. It's very difficult to directly make big money from video. A good viral video needs several things: good idea, video editing skills and some relevant equipment. So YouTube needs to solve these problems for its video contributors, so that they have the motivation and money to generate more high quality videos.

Download Linkin Park - Iridescent Music Video

On June 3, Linkin Park presented us their latest music video for "Iridescent", which is set to be the theme song of the forthcoming film Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Previously, Linkin Park released "Iridescent" as the fourth single in their fourth studio album "A Thousand Sun" on May 27, 2011. Then the song was chosen to be the Transformers 3's theme song.

Music video of "Iridescent" premiered on MTV.com on June 3. You can also find it in The Official Linkin Park YouTube Channel. Now download Linkin Park - Iridescent, you can also check Amazon MP3 download.


Now that you have watched the video which is entirely in black-and-white, so do you understand the concept of it? Got any idea of the video? You can write it down in the comment section. Well, here I'm gonna share what I know about the video. First of all, there are several main elements in the music video: the one-eyed king, the throne made of antlers, the snake, the white dogs, the Linkin Park band having dinner, the outer space and the Transformers robots. But what do all those elements mean? Actually, I don't know. It's rather complicated. Tell you the truth: even the guys in Linkin Park themselves are confused of the music video.

You may have noticed the scenario which shows the LP band sitting at a tablet together in a feast. Actually it mirrors Leonardo da Vinci's painting "The Last Super".

Joe Hann, who directed the "Iridescent" music video, explained in Linkin Park's official blog that "the video explores how human existence might be affected by the elements of Transformers robots and the threat of the Decepticons."

This is this third time that Linkin Park cooperates with Transformers film series. Previously, Transformers' theme song "What I've Done" and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen's lead soundtrack "New Divide" are all LP's songs. When asked why they chose "Iridescent" for "Dark of the Moon," Mike Shinoda, one of the band's lead vocalists, said the song felt like a good fit.

The 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon" will hit theaters on June 29, 2011. The film's soundtrack will be available in stores on June 14.

Here is the lyrics of Linkin Park's Iridescent

You were standing in the wake of devastation
And you were waiting on the edge of the unknown
And with the cataclysm raining down
Insides crying "Save me now"
You were there, impossibly alone

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go. Let it go

And in a burst of light that blinded every angel
As if the sky had blown the heavens into stars
You felt the gravity of tempered grace
Falling into empty space
No one there to catch you in their arms

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go. Let it go

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go. Let it go

Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go. Let it go

Little Monster's Rejoice! Lady Gaga Born This Way Album Debuts with 1.11 Million Copies

Paws Up! Little Monsters! Our Mama Monster again proves her global popularity.

Few artists can sold their albums for more than 1 million copies in the first week. Do you remember the last artist who debuted album with more than 1 million copies? It's Taylor Swift. The country music diva released her third studio album "Speak Now" in 2010 with 1,047,000 copies in its first week. Now Lady Gaga breaks the record with her second studio album "Born This Way", which was released on May 23, 2011. Unexpectedly, Gaga has globally sold 1,108,000 copies of the BTW album in its first week.

Here's Lady Gaga's Born This Way single music video.


It has been six years since the last album debuted with more than Gaga's 1.1 million copies. It was 50 Cent's. The band had sold their hit album "The Massacre" 1.14 million copies in its first week in 2005, which is much closed with Gaga's Born This Way 1.1 million copies.

To promote her album, Lady Gaga made a surprising move – she sold her Born This Way album on Amazon.com for only 0.99 US dollars in the first two day. 440,000 copies of the album were sold at the low price.

With the success of "Born This Way" album, Lady Gaga's influence toward the world culture is being further extended. Lady Gaga is no longer the newbie who just can sang her ‘the fame' songs, but the icon that can influence people's religion and culture. So do you like the old Lady Gaga or the new Lady Gaga?

A lot of people don't understand Lady Gaga, her songs and her music videos. They just hate Gaga's works. It's obviously that Gaga learns from Madonna. Gaga also confirms it. Besides, Gaga writes her own songs, has added the stylish elements and her own feelings, experience, understanding of life and her talent to her works. She also interact very actively with her fans. Those are why I'm fond of Lady Gaga.

Download Green Lantern Blu-ray / DVD

Ring is always a magic thing to human being. It's not just a decorative ornament worn on fingers. It stands for love as people wear a wedding ring at and after wedding. Besides, people believe that some special rings can endow human being with supernatural power. In the Oscar winner film "The Lord of the Ring", the "Master Ring" even can control all others. Yet another film about a supernatural ring is going to hit the theater – it's "Green Lantern".


"Green Lantern" is a great movie. It is absolutely worth watching. Here is one of the trailers of the film hosted on YouTube. You can download the Green Lantern Blu-ray or DVD when it's available.


The much-anticipated upcoming superhero film "Green Lantern" is set to premier in the United States on June 17, 2011 in 3D. Just like "Captain America" and "Thor", "Green Lantern" is adapted from the comic book with the same name. The film is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures and directed by Martin Campbell. The budget of the film is up to 150 million dollars. Warner Bros. has made overwhelming advertising campaigns for the film. Up to now, Warner Bros. has released 7 promo photos, three official trailers and 5 promo banners for "Green Lantern".


Here is the storyline of Green Lantern

In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan. Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax...he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.

YouTube Celebrates Its Sixth Birthday and Declares Some Statistics

Did you remember when did YouTube launch? Six years has gone since YouTube began its video broadcasting service. The Google subsidiary celebrates its sixth birthday this month on its official blog. It's no doubt that YouTube has dominated the online video content service for a long time. The YouTube Team is very proud of this. They release some statistics to honor the sixth birthday and some achievements have made on the blog.


Below are the whopping statistics they release.


1. Currently, YouTube globally receives 3 billion views every single day, which has grown by 50 percent during the past 365 days. "That's the equivalent of nearly half the world's population watching a YouTube video each day", as YouTube official blog described.


2. Last month, United States Internet users yielded 5.1 billion video playback times on YouTube. "[..]every U.S. resident watching at least nine videos a day", the announcement blog post said.


3. Each minute, over 48 hours of videos are uploaded to YouTube, or a 100 percent increase during the past 12 months.

The YouTube Team generalizes 3 reasons attributed to the above great achievements:


1. Faster processing of uploads.
2. Longer upload lengths.
3. Live streaming events, such as the Royal Wedding.


Happy Birthday to YouTube and wish it offers more high quality content to our audience!


Here is the first ever video posted on YouTube. It was dubbed 'Me at the zoo' showing YouTube's co-founder Jawed Karim speaking in front of elephants at a zoo.

Download Beyonce - Run The World (Girls) Music Video

Hello everyone! I'm back. Let's begin our music discussion now. Today I will talk something about Beyoncé's latest single Run the World (Girls).


Run the World (Girls) serves as the lead single in Beyonce's upcoming studio album 4. The album name is a little strange, right? Beyoncé explained that 4 is her special number as she was born on the 4th day of September and April 4th is her wedding day. Music video of Run the World (Girls) was released last week. Beyonce premiered the video on May 18th during 'American Idol'. Then she put the MV to her official website on the same day.


Here is the video on YouTube. You can download Beyonce – Run the World (Girls) [Single Version] from iTunes or Amazon.


The music video is amazing, right? Of course, Beyoncé has put a lot of time and money to the video. To make the video, the pop diva works with 8 different choreographers! Someone said that the high-heeled boots in the video copies from Lady Gaga. Maybe it's true as I remember Lady Gaga has the similar boots. The video is directed by Francis Lawrence, a professional music video director and film director.


Beyoncé said that Run the World (Girls) is a risk as it's "so different: it felt a bit African, a bit electronic and futuristic." She also said that she likes to challenge herself to make some breakthrough. "As soon as I accomplish one thing, I just set a higher goal. That's how I've gotten to where I am", as the pop singer said.


Beyoncé - Run The World (Girls) lyrics


Girls, we run this motha (yeah!) x4
GIRLS!


Who run the world? Girls! x4
We run this motha? Girls! x4
Who run the world? Girls! x4


[Beyonce - Verse 1]


Some of them men think they freak this like we do
But no they don't
Make your cheques come at they neck,
Disrespect us no they won't


Boy don't even try to take us
Boy this beat is crazy
This is how they made me
Houston, Texas baby
This goes out to all my girls
That's in the club rocking the latest
Who will buy it for themselves and get more money later


I think I need a barber
None of these hoes can fade me
Im so good with this,
I remind you im so hood with this


Boy im just playing, come here baby
Hope you still like me, If you hate me
My persuasion can build a nation
In this our, our love we can devour
You'll do anything for me


[Chorus]


Who run the world? Girls! x4
We run this motha? Girls! x4


Who run the world? Girls! x4


[Beyonce - Verse 2]


It's hot up in here
DJ don't be scared to run this, run this back
I'm repping for the girls who taking over the world
http://www.elyricsworld.com/run_the_world_(girls)_lyrics_beyonce.html
Have me raise a glass for the college grads


Anyone rolling I'll let you know what time it is
You can't hold me
I broke my 9 to 5 and copped my cheque
This goes out to all the women getting it in,
Get on your grind
To the other men that respect what I do
Please accept my shine


Boy you know you love it
How we're smart enough to make these millions
Strong enough to bare the children
Then get back to business
See, you better not play me
Don't come here baby
Hope you still like me
If you hate me!


[Bridge]


My persuasion can build a nation
In this hour
Our love we can devour
You'll do anything for me


[Chorus]


Who run the world? Girls! x4
We run this motha? Girls! x4
Who run the world? Girls! x4

YouTube 100 Tells You the Hottest YouTube Music

Something amazing happened on YouTube two days ago. It's YouTube 100 - a weekly updated chart used for showing the top 100 popular music content streamed on the Google-owned video site. The chart launched on YouTube Music just a couple of hours ago. YouTube Music Product Manager Chris LaRosa announced the news on YouTube Official Blog.

"The YouTube 100 measures song traffic across official music videos, user-uploaded videos and viral debuts..", LaRosa said. So the chart counts not only fame pop singers' songs, but also music works from amateurs, which is the major difference among some existing music charts, such as Billboard Hot 100 and VEVO's charts. Everyone has the chance to shine their new idea in their music videos whether it's viral debut, a parody, remix of an existing song or your own version of a song or a music video. For example, I find a fan-made video showing lyrics of Adele's Someone Like You at No.42 on the chart.

This week, Pop Queen Lady Gaga's music video 'Judas' is at the second place on the YouTube 100 chart and Bruno Mars's 'The Lazy Song' music video is at No.5. Jennifer Lopez's 'On The Floor' tops the chart and Rebecca Black's 'Friday' is in the top 10. Check Amazon.com or iTunes store if you want to download them to your computer or mp3 player.

The YouTube 100 music chart offers a better way for uses to track song popularity. What's more, it offers more chances to not only professional singes but also music fans to show their music works. I appreciate the chart and expect more great features from YouTube in the future.

YouTube had been working on helping users to discover popular and trending videos on the site. For example, in January this year, YouTube Acquired Fflick to help users discover and share hot videos from social media sites.

YouTube's Royal Wedding Live Streams Broadcasting Drove 72 Millions Views in One Day

I don't think YouTube is the biggest media in the world, but its information dissemination ability is getting much strong in the Age of Internet and thus cannot be ignored.

Only in one day on April 29, YouTube has driven 72 million views in the live broadcasting streaming of Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding, now the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's wedding, as YouTube official blog reported yesterday. The live show was broadcasted totally in 188 countries. If you have missed the live broadcast, you still have the chance to experience the fairytale wedding on YouTube The Royal Channel. The video is as shown below:


"Together with those catching up with re-broadcasts later in the day, the total number of streams is claimed to have reached over 100 million on the day", as the Google's video-sharing service site said.

In terms of popularity, the Royal wedding is even more popular than the previous world cup and the 8.9 magnitude Japan Earthquake. It's the biggest event in the history of online video, which is very short comparing with traditional media, such as television, which is claimed to have globally drawn two billion people to watch the live streaming of the Wedding of the Century!

Download Chris Brown - She Ain't You Song and Music Video

Teen icon Chris Brown has released the music video for his latest single 'She Ain't You' last week. 'She Ain't You' is a reminiscent work of 80's love song. It samples from the late King of Pop Michael Jackson's 1983 smash hit 'Human Nature'. In the accompanying video, the 22-year-old singer and dancer pays tribute to his idol Michael Jackson and makes a series of movements imitating Michael. I would rather say Michael Jackson is the writer of 'She Ain't You'.


You can watch the video stream of 'She Ain't You' below. Now download Chris Brown - She Ain't You to your iPod or other MP3 players, or check Amazon.com music.


Lyrics of Chris Brown's 'She Ain't You'


Verse:
You make I hard for me to see somebody else
I'm calling her your name
Yea its messed up, cause I'm thinkin' bout you
It's your fault babe
I never wanted us to break up
No not this way
But you don't understand it girl
When she touches me, I'm wishing that they were your hands
And when I'm with her its only bout the sex
With you I had a bad romance
And if I could, just trade her in I would
Cause nobody can pass ya


Chorus:
I think I better let her go
Cause I can't leave you alone
Every day that I'm with her, all I want is you
I wanna leave but I'm afraid
That you don't even feel the same
And now I realize that she ain't you
Oh (no she ain't you)
Whoa oh oh (Na na na)
Whoa oh oh (Na na na)
She ain't, no she ain't you


Verse:
I been sleeping out
For quite some nights now
It's not the same in my bed
But if she found out, what going on in my head
It?ll be all bad, have me right back
But you don't understand it girl
When she touches me, I'm wishing that they were your hands
And when I'm with her its only bout the sex
With you I had a bad romance
And if I could, just trade her in I would
Cause nobody can pass ya


Chorus:
I think I better let her go
Cause I can't leave you alone
Every day that I'm with her, all I want is you
I wanna leave but I'm afraid
That you don't even feel the same
And now I realize that she ain't you
No she a-ain't she ain't you (x8)


I think I better let her go
Cause I can't leave you alone
Every day that I'm with her, all I want is you
I wanna leave but I'm afraid
That you don't even feel the same
And now I realize that she ain't you
Oh (no she ain't you)
Whoa oh oh (Na na na)
Whoa oh oh(Na na na)
She ain't, no she ain't you


'She Ain't You' serves as the fourth single from Brown's fourth studio album – F.A.M.E., which was released on March 18, 2011. It's an R&B love song and premiered on March 31, 2011. Chris Brown, Ryan Buendia, Kevin McCall, Jason Boyd and Jean Baptiste together wrote the song. As said before, the song samples from Michael's 'Human Nature' and remix of 'Right Here' by SWV. It debuted on urban radio on March 28 in the United States.


Colin Tilley directed the song's music video. The visual work begins with a message saying 'Dedicated to my biggest inspiration of all time... I Love You. R.I.P. Michael Jackson. 08/29/58 - 06/25/09' suggesting that the video is Brown's tribute to Michael Jackson. Chris Brown then emerges dressed in an '80s-styled white suit with a fedora just like Jackson's outfit in his 1988 famous music video 'Smooth Criminal'. Brown has performed several Jackson inspired dance moves throughout the video.


So how do you like Chris Brown's She Ain't You? Is it a simple imitation of Michael Jackson's Human Nature or an earnest homeage to the late King of Pop? You can leave your feeling about the song or the video in the comments.

The video is just a good match to the song. A lot of people think that there is few highlight in the video. Different from Katy Perry's E.T. and Lady Gaga's Born This Way, the scenes in 'Take Me Away' are very just common, such as dancing in sunshine beach, having massage, etc. But people just love this video as it's natural, genuine and comfortable. Thanks the director of the video Taj Stansberry for such a good job. BTW, the video was premiered on 106 and Park.


'Take Me Away' is the third single from Keyshia Cole's fourth studio album 'Calling All Hearts'. It was produced by Chink Santana. Regarding to chart, the song took #27 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs as peak position.

YouTube Calls for Videos by Hollywood Stars to Increase Users' Loyalty

According to media reports, Google is inviting top Hollywood stars to generate original videos for YouTube, to improve relationship with Hollywood and, YouTube's financial performance and users' attention.


As return, Google would offer the stars cash and a share of the resulting advertising revenues. The stars could create their channels with their own names and moderate the content in their own channels.


At present it's not clear that how many Hollywood stars have signed the contract with Google, who hopes to generate more professional and original videos. Google declined to elaborate. But YouTube will still be a users generated videos platform and won't abandon the basic services, said the person familiar with the matter.
