Google Algorithm Changes – Also Changing The Web Marketing Norms

One day, I hope, YouTube will make better filters for their site so that almost any search will be relevant to your needs.  For instance, the following is a list of videos that I had to use mad search skills to find.  You’d think two simple filters could be used on YouTube like “Most Views” and “By Year” but YouTube doesn’t have a “Yearly” filter.  They only have daily, weekly, and all-time filters.  That’s a curious omission.  Still, I endeavored to find those videos that come after the top 10 of 2011 , and I found some good results, some videos that were great that didn’t make the cut. With 37 million being the Top 10’s lowest view count, I looked for the ones that went just under that amount and came up with a comprehensive list.  There are probably some I missed, and I had to cut my own list off at 19 million views.  Still, this is fun viewing.  We have another Lonely Island video here, an awesome display of firepower from FPS Russia, a ton of musical parody and slapstick videos, and yes, a baby laughing at something we adults take for granted. This goes in somewhat of a particular order, but the view count can occasionally jump at a moment’s notice, so this is sort of the order I found them in.

Maybe Netflix was right after all. No, not in the way they handled their price increase, but maybe in their logic for creating the increase in the first place. See, we’ve always assumed that Netflix’s price hike this summer was about setting the stage for streaming video as the primary service for the future

The video revolution is still a pretty young movement, and sometimes I think we’re not really ready for all the challenges its going to bring–specifically with regard to privacy.

Just in case you thought Google was going to call their holiday celebrations over with the “let it snow” feature on YouTube and Google search, they had at least one more trick up their sleeve: a custom holiday Google logo doodle that plays Jingle Bells. The celebratory logo is interactive at the start, allowing users to click the different tones before the Jingle Bells song finally plays
