Facebook as a video platform
While looking at Scott Bradlee's Facebook page I noticed that some videos, such as a recent posting of the Habits video, have view counts associated with them. Apparently the one's with numbers are videos uploaded directly to Facebook, as opposed to links to YouTube. Maybe this is widely known, but it's new to me.
The FB numbers are amazing on the videos. The IWITW video featuring Shoshana has close to 3 million views, while Haley's Habits has more than 370,000 in three days. These are FB views and have nothing to do with Youtube. Unfortunately the FB "view" counter counts a view if the video plays for 3 seconds, even if it was auto-played by someone scrolling. Additional stats are not available to the viewer, although the uploader has additional breakdowns. Quote:May 5, 2014 Quote:Facebook's Strategy to Take on YouTube Comes Into View |

RE: Video platforms: YouTube, Facebook, and others
The FB push into video could potentially change the video landscape a lot. Scott is starting to use it for PMJ videos and the results seem explosive. In the past he has put up promo videos directly to Facebook, and he just started adding some of the music videos already posted to YT. It appears that reach new people and those who have already seen the vid on YT. But then they have the potential to get shared to more new viewers and things can go viral in the FB world if it is popular.

RE: Facebook as a video platform
Comment by Scott on his FB page where he posted a new link to the YouTube version of ShoShana's video
Quote:Scott Bradlee 1 hr · Using the FB method of counting a view (apparently 3 sec) the video of IWITW on Facebook has 3.5 million views. Scott doesn't endorse that number. Haley's has more the 500K (on top of the YT views). |
