Asking about Analytics

Google analytics has come to YouTube!

Do you use them? If so, how are they useful for you? If not, why not?

Update: YouTube renamed the "About this Video" button to "Insight" just after I made this video. I first noticed the renaming on April 11.

Thanks for your comments and video, and general support.

I approved your video response. Nice visuals. Although I'm not quite sure how that relates to analytics. Perhaps I should be asking folks what makes them post a video response...

I just checked out some of our video stats. Our viewers seem to be spread out a lot more than yours, but that's probably just because we're less popular.

It's fun to watch trends.

I had glanced at the new feature when it first came out. I think it is more useful for those with higher volume of views, and people focused on marketing, etc. For the rest of us, its just another interesting tool that probably won't get much use.

they can be very useful to correlate my comment activity with spikes in views, and the spread of a video being shared due to efforts to engage others on their sites, also to indicate a video response effectiveness, especially by country, and to track the overall spread of (((( Critical*Mass ))))
