Univision/YouTube Partnership Is A Bigger Deal Than You Think
Did you see the headline earlier this week that YouTube had struck a deal with Spanish Television Network, Univision? If you’re a typical American, you might have passed right over it. Maybe you noted it mentally, but figured it wasn’t terribly important to you since you don’t speak Spanish.

July Biggest Month Ever for Online Video, Hulu Tops Time Warner Cable
July was a big month all around for online video (according to comScore) but perhaps it was the biggest month yet for Hulu who, according to various research, surpassed Time Warner in viewership during the month.

The video contains 40 minutes worth of spots.
Just in case you didn’t hear me… that’s 40 minutes of ad videos inside your magazine. I can barely stand to watch 4 minutes of TV commercials between segments of Lost, let alone 40 minutes of ads that aren’t even sandwiched between other pieces of video content I’m actually interested in.

Youtube Content ID – Major Media Companies to Sell Video Ads
Thats right! Now, according to an exclusive that I just read on Techcrunch: “YouTube is trying to convince them that love is better than war by giving them a cut of advertising revenues from their videos that appear on YouTube, regardless of who put them there.”
