New Feature: YouTube Lets You Know Who’s Watching Your Videos

By • April 30, 2007 • Online Marketing, Online Video, YouTube • 1 Comment

Now you can see who’s watching your videos at YouTube. Caught this from Mathew Ingram, who linked to Mashable.

activershareright.PNGYouTube announced the addition of a few new features overnight. Here’s a summary:

Most importantly, YouTube has added an Active Sharing feature, to let you see who’s watching your video, and videos that other users are watching. The last six videos you watched display on your Channel page, and when someone visits one of these videos they may see your name listed in the “who’s watching” box. This history tracking feature can be turned off. Additionally, you can rearrange the order of your favorites videos, and a module that automatically approves comments from friends but requires approval from everyone else.

Any user’s Channel can now be filtered by Most Recent, Most Viewed, and Most Discussed, and gone more lax with comments limits, meaning you only have to type in a CAPTCHA once per login session. You can also unblock users, and browse Partner channels by Most Viewed, or through an alphabetical listing.

This is great stuff. I like being able to see who’s watching my videos, in the same manner that I like to be able to see who’s visiting my blog using MyBlogLog.com.

Business Around A Lifestyle

The world changed on 9/11 in so many different ways. Since that day, there has been a major shift happening in the way people think and live their lives. Sure, many people still chase the dollar as their ultimate goal. However, many more people have begun to realize that the world could, well, end tomorrow.

That's why people are choosing to pursue a business around a lifestyle, instead of a lifestyle controlled by their business. It makes sense, right? If the world was going to end tomorrow, would you still try to live your life in a way you never wanted to?

Take a look around you and you'll see that this shift to becoming a lifestyle entrepreneur is being adopted by more and more people every day. Some of those people are falling into it because they have been laid off from their jobs and are literally forced into it. Some of those people just figure out a way to make it happen because of the "end of the world" thinking mentioned above.

    Thats a very nice feature IMO.

    Though it’d sure feel odd if you found your teacher was viewing your video, since I shoot most of them in the class and cellphones arent allowed :p

    But their new interface is really better than the old boring one.
