We conducted our Youtube Experiment during March 20, 2011 (Sunday) from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.


Category:
Above is the video category in Youtube, Sports is the most uploaded video while News and Entertainment follows.




Commonly used tags:
The image above contains the commonly used tags used by people when they uploaded the video. We noticed that most of the up-loaders used the title as their tags and they have a long list of tags.




Length of Video:
We found out that majority of the videos uploaded were less than a minute, but many also uploaded a 1 to 2 minute video, and there were lesser people who uploaded a long video.




The common video up-loaders are in between the age of 20 to 30 years old while the teenagers trailed behind, the 30 to 40 years old, however, are not the up-loader type.




As we can see, United States of America(U.S.A.) has the most number of uploads, followed by United Kingdom (U.K.), Japan and Netherlands. Most of the other countries have just 1 or 2 videos uploaded that day.




English is the most used language in the videos, while Arabic and German follows. The Others are the videos with background music or it may be a silent video.




* When we conducted the experiment, we encountered two videos which were blocked. 


Summary:

  • Category: Sports has the most number of video uploads
