For the second year, YouTube on Friday unveiled a holiday feature that lets users create hosted video cards to send to friends and family. Users can select this option from any YouTube video, or from a special page that houses selected community videos and links to a user’s own clips.

How YouTube Broadcasts Your Taste in Videos: The slogan of YouTube is “Broadcast Yourself.” I’ve got to wonder if many YouTube users are broadcasting information about their tastes in video far more widely than they understand.

Google’s video site lets you subscribe to a “channel” — a collection of videos from one person or company — so you can get reminders about new clips from sources that interest you. When you do this, your user name and photo are usually listed on the page of the channel you are subscribing to. And there is no way for you to keep your subscription private.

That means that if you have some reason to want to follow videos from channels like Youth Suicide/Domestic Violence Health, ProstateCancerMD , Bankruptcy Attorneys or Best Resumes of New York, anyone in the world could find out. [...]

The YouTube privacy policy is misleading because it implies that information is disclosed only after users take an explicit action to add features to their channel:
If you choose to add certain features to your channel page, then these features and your activity associated with these features will be displayed to other users.

Sim, YouTube videos get widescreen treatment: YouTube has expanded the viewable width of all videos appearing on the site, creating an image that viewers will likely associate more with a movie theater screen or high-definition television.

YouTube Rolls Out Post-Roll Video Ads: YouTube, which has never had trouble growing an audience but hasn’t yet figured out the trick for monetizing them thar eyeballs, is adding a trick from the old playbook: post-roll advertisements. As we understand it (and this has been confirmed with the company), if you don’t click on an overlay ad when it shows up in a clip you’re watching, the video ad it would have played rolls automatically at the end of your video. Previously a post-roll video wouldn’t play without being initiated by the user. This type of ad started rolling out over the last few weeks.

More Americans watching video online: The study found that the number of American consumers watching video streamed through a browser had soared over the past year, from 32 percent a year ago to 63 percent today.

Stars tune-in to Web video, advertisers still shy: The Internet, and the experimental low-budget dramas and comedy shows it spawned, has emerged as a refuge for Hollywood players such as “Family Guy” creator Seth McFarlane and comedienne Illeana Douglas who are seeking creative autonomy.

But because of advertisers’ reluctance to spend on unproven Web-based shows, making money from them remains a challenge even for productions with top talent, experts said.

YouTube and Pulitzer Center look for best video journalists: Contestants have until October 5 to submit news clips three-minutes long or less that must focus on stories largely overlooked or ignored by traditional media. The Pulitzer Center will judge the competition and plans to trim the contestants down to 10 finalists following the initial round.
YouTube viewers will eventually choose the winner.

Uefa launches offensive as YouTube piracy soars: UEFA, European football’s governing body, has attacked file-sharing websites YouTube and Flickr for failing to prevent fans from uploading footage of games.

Alexandre Fourtoy, chief executive of Uefa Media Technologies, compared football’s piracy problem to that of the film and music industries, warning that it could harm the game. Speaking at Uefa’s international broadcast centre in Vienna, Fourtoy said: ‘Piracy is a big problem. There are pirates who steal content to build up a business of their own and we act against them all.’

Video Annotations are a new way for you to add interactive commentary to your videos! Use them to:
* Add background information about the video.
* Create stories with multiple possibilities (viewers click to choose the next scene)
* Link to related YouTube videos, channels, or search results from within a video
* All of the above!

You control what the annotations say, where they appear on the video, and when they appear and disappear.
