Tag and Title Study - UPDATE

Now I would like to say that my study is going well, but I'd be lying. It's moving pretty slowly, as you can see at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWc5vNEa6eo it currently has 220 views and 6 comments, which isn't bad I suppose, but I was expecting more.

But you never know, there me be some sort of indiana jones surge and everyone is interested, so we'll have to wait and see, I think views will pick up eventually.

Well that was the update, please comment and return for more updates on the study.

Cheers

Do tags and titles effect the number of views on youtube?

That is the question, does the tags and title of a video on youtube effect the number of views? If you look at a youtube channel like forrestfire101 you would say, yes they do, because this guys videos aren't much, and practically all of them are Indiana Jones related.

So heres what I came up with, I formulated an study a few days ago where I make a brickfilm that isn't very high quality animation wise and plot wise, and make it star wars or indiana jones related, then see if I get thousands of views. If I do, then the answer to the question is yes.

So here is what I came up with, check it out, if this video gets thousands of views then my hypothesis is correct:

I will continue to monitor this and update my blog if anything drastic happens with this study.

ARE WE ALL GOING TO DIE? - Large Hadron Collider

So are we all going to die? I'm personally hoping that there will be a small black hole and it will take ages to suck us all in so we can just watch it.... But thats really unlikely? :p

The people over at wired seem to think nothing is going to happen, which is a good theory considering the odds are 200 million to one or so.

Heres an interesting comic I found:



So what do you think, its a day before it happens (10th sep), do you think we're all going to die from this thing?

I personally think...... Maybe.

Big Brother Finale - Rachel Wins

I don't generally watch this programme, but I thought I'd watch some of the last ones. And it is sometimes pretty funny. Anyway the results were tonight, and I was pretty shocked at the results (I was a Rex fan because he's just plain funny when he's taking the piss out of people).



Anyway 5th place went to Darnell, I wasn't very shocked at this, hes a boring housemate and I don't see how he got to the final. He came out of the house in a skirt and he had a pony with him anyway, I didn't see the point but whatever.




4th place was for Rex (Which I was surprised at because I thought he'd win) however he had a proper gay pose for the cameras, and he's apparently loaded anyway so he didn't really deserve to win the cash.




3rd place went to Sara, I was also shocked at this, I thought she was one of the winning contenders, along with Rex, but I guess I am wrong. I'm not going to deny it either that I think she is pretty Fit. When I heard the cheer for her last week, I thought she was certainly going to be 2nd or 1st.





The runner up of big brother went to, MIKEY. This was a surprise, I thought the first blind man in big brother would win, but obviously not. He was a pretty funny guy and he was blind so that was a bonus :D






The winner of big brother, which came as a MASSIVE shock to me, who would have thought that boring rachel would have won something. She was often said to "Sit on the fence alot" and I agree with this, she was just one of the worst housemates. How could she have won, its not typical of winners of big brother, they usually have something about them that makes them different from everyone else (Tourettes eg)





Basically this years big brother was not bad, untill the final, rachel did not deserve to win.

So yeah what are your views? Who did you want to win? Do you like rachel? I personally don't.

Don LaFontaine Death - Video Tribute

The famous Voiceover Master Don LaFontaine has died at the age of 68. The official cause of the death has not yet been released, however it is such a shame that this man has died. His voicework was wonderful and he made movie trailers more gripping and interesting, just by the sound of his voice.

I created a short tribute video to this man at the following link, because he is so great. So It would be good if you would watch this and remember the hero.
