Hit on MySpace, Flop On YouTube
April 29th, 2008
Michael Learmonth of Silicon Alley Insider has a great post on “Special Delivery,” a popular MySpace-sponsored hidden camera show that is a huge success on MySpace (in part thanks to promotion there), and a total flop on YouTube, where the show also has a channel. This attests to a common refrain we say a lot around here (because it’s true): since each video sharing site has different demographics and promotional opportunities, distribution to multiple sites not only increases viewership, but also helps in finding an audience and starting to build a community around content.

The show is pretty stupid – but is a “MySpace Original” so of course it’s going to get hits there. Duh.
Still it’s stupid enough to get ZERO notice on You Tube. Hidden Camera. Been there Done that.
