YouTube Wants to Hear from You

There is a new trend related to the growth in online video -- new business ventures created to leverage that growth.

I've provided statistics about online video growth before on the Newstex blog, but this week, there is a new report out The Nielsen Company that provides more proof that online video is getting more popular all the time.

The Knight News Challenge is a contest that recognizes the next generation of news entrepreneurs, and the winners announced this week include startups trying to develop video, mobile, and crowdsourced solutions, leveraging existing technology and networks, to filter through the huge amount of news and content people are exposed to each day.

comScore has released its monthly report about online video viewing in the United States, and the results show that online video continues to be extremely popular and growing.

Want to be part of the historical record officially? You will be if you've published a public tweet on Twitter since March 2006, because your tweets are going into the Library of Congress archives.

Newstex President Larry Schwartz was one of many CEOs and content industry leaders who was interviewed during the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) Summit in January.

Timing, market conditions, frequency, and length---these are just four of the things that affect content revenue, which Newstex president Larry Schwartz and Jonathan Hoy, director of licensing and copyrights for the American Bar Association Publishing, shared at the recent SIPA conference.

In a world where major publications can vanish from the Internet in the blink of an eye, content preservation is more important than ever.
