YouTube is 5 years old. Here is a compilation of the 20 oldest clips on the site. Seems to me the two Chinese guys (The Back Dorm Boys, or whatever they were called) singing "I Want it That Way" raised the bar.
But a nice one with some great, up-to-date numbers.
Click through to the PSFK post for details, but in a nutshell a former Apple engineer digs through the friend networks associated with 210 million Facebook profiles and discovers some trends by region. Interesting stuff.
Nice presentation by Christine W Huang looks at storytelling in the age of Web 2.0. Well done with some nice examples and thought starters (even though I suspect it would benefit from a voiceover.)
Great chart showing the impact of social on the Web 1.0 “gas giants.” As time spent on YouTube and Facebook soars, it eats into the time spent with old media web portals like Yahoo! and MSN. If according to Yahoo!’s latest ad campaign they’re all about “YOU”, they seem not to have noticed that you have already moved on to other sites that are actually, truly all about you.
Interesting chart depicting all of the acquisitions and investments Amazon has made over the years including, of course, their recent Zappos purchase.
