Ganging up on YouTube
On Monday comScore posed the following question:
Which Site is the Next YouTube?
This question made me ponder… Even combined, are these sites ready for a rumble with YouTube?
Let’s start by adding the comScore stats from the following six (6) video sites:
Dailymotion.com – (comScore April 2007)
4.7 million – Unique Streamers
49 million – Streams Initiated
Metacafe.com
3.7 million – Unique Streamers
33 million – Streams Initiated
Break.com
3.1 million – Unique Streamers
32 million – Streams Initiated
Heavy Networks
2.6 million – Unique Streamers
5.9 million – Streams Initiated
Revver.com
2.6 million – Unique Streamers
8.7 million – Streams Initiated
Veoh.com
1.8 million – Unique Streamers
14.5 million – Streams Initiated
Grand Total of all six (6) YouTube competitors –
18.5 million – Unique Streamers
143.1 million – Streams Initiated
- VERSUS -
YouTube – (comScore March 2007)
53.5 million – Unique streamers
1.1 billion – Streams Initiated
I don’t believe this “Gang” of video providers is quite ready to take on The Jets, but we’ll stay tuned.
