Lot is happening at GooglePlex and it seems that Google is playing big at the time of Web 2.0 Expo. Google Presently, Charts functionality and what not. So, after all the buzz in Google docs & spreadsheet, how can we expect that Google will not create the buzz for Youtube!
It has been announced that Youtube will soon launch the filtering technology, with the help of which it will be easy to detect the copyrighted material. I hope that we can get this technology as fast as possible, after all that will not only keep things clean at YouTube, but it will keep Google away from those nasty law suites!
Apart from that, YouTube seems to interested in sharing the advertising revenue with its users and that too at the ratio of 50-50. Well, just imagine that if that happens then how much money will be earned by the top videos. Most likely, it will be launched by next week and I’m sure that lot of videos will be created and that will make Youtube even much more bigger than what it is at this point of time.
No wonder that Youtube which is lying at 4th place according to the Alexa Rank and the constant traffic growth also proves that. Now, imagine that the services, like Yahoo & MSN which are not sharing the revenue with users are capturing the top places and also, there is a constant traffic for these services and a small dip in the Yahoo’s traffic. But, if take the example of Youtube, its traffic has increased and increased and hardly it has gone down.
So, revenue sharing will certainly attract many users and that will help Youtube in beating Yahoo & MSN and we can expect that soon there will be a big upset in the traffic rankings chart. Although, I’m talking about the traffic change which is almost three times of what Youtube is getting now (as shown in the above graph), but if we notice, that it is Youtube only who’s graph is rising constantly and that makes me believe that youtube will be able to reach the number 1 position soon!
