This morning I wrote about Business Week mentioning WatchMojo.com in an article.  Maybe that’s why I feel guilty and dirty reading this?

Bloomberg LP, the global financial data and news empire created by New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, is the winning bidder for BusinessWeek. continue reading...

WatchMojo mentioned in Business Week article on online video content producers, written by Aymar Jean Christian:

Overdo it and you lose your audience, says Ashkan Karbasfrooshan, chief executive of online video site WatchMojo.com. Overexposure of a product will be more glaring in a three-minute Webisode than a longer TV show. “Are users that dumb to sit through and watch something that is blatantly commercial?” he asks. continue reading...

Indeed, with YouTube “becoming a top choice for music discovery, the labels need YouTube more than YouTube needs them,” but then one has to ask: why do some content owners - such as Warner Music - shun YouTube?

Still a lot of uncertainty and hope (hype) surrounding online video.  I think in many ways, video is a better fit with display ads whereas video ads work better with text content.    

But a new report by eMarketer, as seen on Business Week, released July 16, suggests Web surfers ain’t seen nothing yet. Video ad sales are expected to grow from an estimated $775 million this year to $3.1 billion in 2010 and then to $4.3 billion in 2011.
