Metta World Peace (aka Ron Artest) on DWTS elimination [Video]

It's time for an introduction of the DWTS Troupe. I'm night even going to attempt to spell the names of these hot young dancers. It seems like ABC doesn't want you to really know them either, since they haven't even posted bios on them on the DWTS page

It was a big night for the DWTS cast who had their first elimination of Season 13, and for me, the elimination was perfect. This season has a lot of people who are going to be fun to watch, but if someone had to go, the right one was sent home

We'd gladly listen to LMFAO's “Party Rock Anthem” on an infinite loop if only we never had to see a topless Bruno “WTF” Tonioli again.

Viral Video: Me and My CrunchFund Shadow on Bloomberg West

Here’s a video of an appearance I made on thehttp://allthingsd.com/20110903/viral-video-me-and-my-crunchfund-shadow-on-bloomberg-west/ Bloomberg West show yesterday about the controversies around TechCrunch Founder and Editor Michael Arrington and his new early-stage venture fund called CrunchFund.

(Yes, that’s the genuine Mike puppet I was gifted when Loren Feldman ended his hysterical video spoof series on Arrington and other Silicon Valley luminaries.)

As I said in the interview and also in a testy post I did, TechCrunch owner AOL is a lot to blame here, especially in CEO Tim Armstrong’s impugning the ethically sound writers at the popular tech news site who don’t deserve this mess.

Here is the video:

Netflix Still Dominates Video Streaming Market

Netflix reigns supreme in game consoles and other connected devices while Hulu depends solely on PC-based streaming. This is according to the latest data released by Nielsen. 58 percent of Netflix users watch Apple posts WWDC 2011 keynote video [Streaming Video]” href=”http://itpopular.com/apple-posts-wwdc-2011-keynote-video-streaming-video/”>videos on mobile or connected devices compared to 11 percent for Hulu.

All of Netflix’s 25 million subscribers have access to the service on connected devices. This is different for Hulu where non-PC streaming is a premium feature for Hulu Plus. At present, Hulu Plus has a million subscribers.

According to the data, Sony PlayStation 3 game console gets 30 percent of all Netflix traffic. In second place is Xbox 360 with 25 percent. Wii is said to have 10.75 percent of Netflix traffic but it should be noted that the Wii doesn’t support HD streaming, which means Wii users consume less bandwidth.

It doesn’t matter whether Netflix is viewed more on the Wii or the PS3, what is important here is that devices such as Google TV and Apple TV don’t matter to the consumers. They would watch Netflix, Hulu or any other video streaming service on devices that are already available for them. They don’t need additional devices just to stream video content from providers.

Vuclip: iPhone tops list of worldwide video consumption

At last night’s MobileMonday in Jakarta, Nickhil Jakatdar, co-founder and CEO of Vuclip flew down from the United States and presented some insights into mobile video consumption. Vuclip is a company that delivers mobile videos to any video-enabled device.

While it’s dwarfed by YouTube, Vuclip still delivers more than 350 million videos per month to more than 25 million viewers in 200 countries around the world. It’s primary markets include India, Saudi Arabia, United States, United Kingdom, Indonesia, and Mexico.

Jakatdar’s visit coincides with the release of Vuclip’s latest Global Video Insights report which the company makes available on a monthly basis. The report reveals that aside from a dip in February, the number of mobile video consumers have been on the rise this year.

Vuclip had delivered just over 200 million videos to mobile devices in January and in June that number had crossed 350 million, a 175 percent increase in six months. The number of viewers went from 18 million in January to over 25 million in June. That means the average number of video views per person had gone from around 11 per month to 14. In a single month, Vuclip delivers 750 terabytes of video.

Jakatdar remarked that by 2014, smartphones and other mobile devices will pass traditional computers as the primary devices in which consumers watch videos. Currently, the iPhone is the top device for watching video in Vuclip’s environment.

This corresponds to a report released in May 2011 by FreeWheel which discovers that 80% of mobile video consumption in the US happens on an iOS device with 30 percent each on iPhone and iPod touch and 20 percent on the iPad.

Vuclip’s report however only saw the iPhone’s rise in June overtaking the BlackBerry 9700 as the top mobile device to watch videos. Outside the United States, various BlackBerry models still dominate the top five devices followed by assorted Nokia phones.

Unfortunately Vuclip’s report does not say the proportion of videos consumed by each device, so there’s no information in terms of consumption share, although the report does say that the iPhone is the leader in Singapore, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates while BlackBerry leads in Canada, the UK, and Venezuela.

“July marks a major inflection point in the smartphone race,” he said. “While we know Apple is a media darling in North America and Europe, it’s interesting to see that it’s now become an increasingly popular smartphone in international markets in terms of mobile video consumption.”

He pointed out that there are four stakeholders in a video environment. Those are consumers, content providers, OEM, and advertisers, so anyone delivering mobile videos will need to consider those four factors.

He added that content providers can monetize through premium services such as movie or music video portals, video ringtones and video alerts. While delivering feature length video over mobile network is still a long way away especially in emerging markets, he said providers can work with movie distributors to deliver short clips from the movies for example.

In Indonesia, the top most watched videos belong to the entertainment category, followed by news, celebrities, music and sports.

Youtube And Other Top Video Sharing Sites Suffer Huge Drop In Visitors

It’s fair to say that video sharing sites like Youtube, must not like the summer months.

According to marketing insights company, Nielsen, video sharing sites took a hit in terms of unique visitors starting June. One of the biggest losers was Youtube, who saw a 3 percent drop in month-on-month numbers leading up to the June period.

According to Nielsen, who also conducted studies into the numbers of other major video sharing sites, the drop in visitors is directly attributed to the summer. Across the US, schools break for the summer holidays, and since the bulk of the video viewing population are of school age, the correlation is not unfounded.

The only video sharing site that saw an increase in visitors was the College Humour network, which saw an increase of 23.2 percent in unique visitors. Still, sites like Youtube can take comfort in the fact that the drop in numbers is entirely seasonal, and doesn’t reflect any structural change in how its visitors see the site. Indeed, the Nielsen study, as well as data collated by Experian HitWise, show that Youtube is still, the biggest player in the video sharing arena. Youtube is particularly popular in the UK, accounting for 1-in-5 visits among internet users in that country. What’s more, Youtube is the fastest growing social network in the UK.

With soaring temperatures raging across the US, more and more people will abandon the comforts of the house for the great outdoors. This might add to the declining video viewership, but things should pick up again after the summer, so the likes of Youtube shouldn’t be too worried.

Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary demo video released

Last month Microsoft announced Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary at E3 and in case you weren’t paying attention then, it is the HD remake of the flagship Xbox game to celebrate the game’s 10th birthday. But besides just upping the graphics in the game, Microsoft also spent some time to develop new features for the game so that people who’ve already got the first Halo: Combat Evolved will have a reason to make the purchase as well (i.e. Kinect support).
