Microsoft research on Internet user profiling could lead to tools that help repressive regimes identify anonymous dissidents, the Reporters Without Borders advocacy group warned last Friday. Microsoft's new algorithms correctly guessed the gender of a Web surfer 80% of the time, and his or her age 60% of the time. "In China, it is conceivable that this type of technology would be used to spot Internet users who regularly access such 'subversive' content as news and information websites critical of the regime,"

Comscore's audience statistics, which advertising agencies use to decide how to allocate campaign budgets, are already uncomfortable reading for many websites. Compared with a site's own internal logs, the New York company's user panel can appear to significantly undercount monthly visitors. The news just got worse. According to an internal study, the company is double-counting the geekier users who delete the cookies which track their web usage, and thereby show up, repeatedly, as new users. The bottom line? Even Comscore's modest numbers may be overstating a site's audience by a factor of 2.5, on average. And the geekier sites, already the ones that complain most that old-school measurement services miss their gigantic audiences, have the most inflated numbers.

Why profiled on Startup Review
YouTube, one of the most successful exits of the Web 2.0 era, needs little introduction. YouTube’s single biggest contribution is that it brought into the mainstream the concept of sharing videos online. YouTube shot into limelight when Google acquired it in Oct 2006 for $1.65B (in stock), the largest exit for a consumer Internet company in 2006 and Google’s biggest acquisition to date. On a typical day, over 100 million video streams are watched on YouTube.
A few notable statistics on YouTube at the time of the acquisition:
• Fastest growing website in Internet history
• On average 100 million videos streamed per day
• 65,000 new video clips are uploaded every day
• More than 13 million unique visitors per month. An average user spends 30 minutes on YouTube and most uploaders are repeat visitors themselves.
• 58% of Internet videos are watched on Youtube
• 20% to 30% of traffic volume is from the US
• Wide range of user demographics, however the largest segment of users is the 18 to 35 year-olds.
• 30% to 40% of the content is copyrighted. There is a clear correlation between eyeballs and copyrighted content.
Interviews conducted: Interviews and public presentations by YouTube employees were used to compile this report
