How not to agree..
YouTube has been calling the shots for many years and it uses the same metrics for countries like the USA and the rest of the world but unless some support is given to creators the platform will remain a place were the community is made up of people re-uploading UGC of little or no quality, scaring advertisers of.
Other platforms are coming to the table wanting to eat the same lunch, the Video war is definitely on. Hope that competition is going to help creators make a living on the evolution of the Television Industry..

YouTube does a fantastic job of generating zillions of video views for its community. Yet it does a relatively poor job of helping their users earn money. This is likely to due to a couple of reasons. Advertisers have been reluctant to pay premium rates for ads against user-generated content that they haven’t vetted. And YouTube can be stingy about sharing video revenue because there hasn’t been any serious competition that can deliver viewers at such scale… Until now.

Just like scores of entrepreneurs have hollowed out or unbundled Craigslist by building specialized marketplaces, entrepreneurs and companies are setting their sites on hollowing out YouTube:

…Many entrepreneurs are working to build businesses that target some of the larger YouTube categories, specializing the user experience within that category and/or sharing a higher portion of proceeds with their users. Some early examples focus on online video lessons, or unbundle a topic with…

Don’t be fooled by Facebook’s latest newsfeed update: It’s still the one in control

You think you’re in control but FB wants to know more based on the choices you make… #AI #BIGDATA

Originally posted on Gigaom:

In the never-ending quest to build a newsfeed beloved by both users and advertisers, Facebook introduced more product control features on Friday. Namely, it added nuances to its muting button. Now when you tell Facebook you don’t want to see a post, you’re prompted to unfollow the writer or see less posts from them. Facebook’s product management director Adam Mosseri told Re/Code “We’re trying to encourage people to use the [unfollow] option more.”

Here’s the problem: It makes fine-tuning your newsfeed even more of a hassle. It takes effort to go weeding through the dredges of your news feed, making decisions about which individual posts were subpar. The cognitive burden of it all is a deterrence. How many people used that “I don’t want to see a post” button in the first place? I asked Facebook, but the company didn’t respond.

In the second update, Facebook will give you lists of noisy pages and…

Game face: how teens use mobile game videos to reinvent Machinima

When I first heard about Kamcord and other services that allow players of mobile games to record and share their game-play, I assumed that this was primarily about gamers showing off their skills, boasting how fast they can complete certain levels and explaining tricks to master challenges that others get stuck on. Then Kamcord co-founder Aditya Rathnam told me about Talie Bell.

Talie Bell is a freshman in high school who is using Kamcord in a way that I didn’t even consider: As a kind of animated video blogging service. Sometimes she invites her friends to join her via Skype, then facilitates impromptu roundtable discussions about random topics like Halloween costumes and trick or treating. It’s kind of like a talk show, except you don’t see any of the participants because all the action happens in a mobile multiplayer game called Mini Carnival.

In other videos, she sings songs…

Sito web: WordPress o Joomla? Come decidere su quale tecnologia puntare

Originally posted on Paolo Subioli:

Quando dobbiamo realizzare il sito web per la nostra attività è importante scegliere le tecnologie giuste. A partire dal CMS (content management system), cioè il software per la gestibvcone dei contenuti del sito. Fare la scelta sbagliata potrebbe significare ritrovarsi presto con un sito obsoleto, dal costoso rifacimento. Ma chi ci capisce? Affidarsi a un’azienda che realizza siti il più delle volte significa consentirle di adottare le tecnologie che padroneggiano meglio, non necessariamente quelle che fanno al caso nostro.

Ciò che propongo oggi è dunque un metodo semplice, anche se molto empirico, per capire quali sono le tecnologie più promettenti in un certo ambito. Parto dal presupposto che nel digitale uno dei fattori più importanti per il successo duraturo di una certa soluzione è dato dalla quantità di utenti: più sono, più ampio sarà l'”ecosistema” di servizi di terze parti che sarà in grado di generare e maggiori saranno le…
