YouTube Statistics

Business Week's Blogspotting blog referenced Asi Sharabi's blog posting at No Man's Blog where he conducted a content analysis of the 100 most favorite videos on YouTube to determine the mix of content creators.  Interestingly his analysis showed that users created over 50% of the most viewed videos.
