      <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/watchmojo-logo-apr09.jpg" />Canada-based <a href="http://www.watchmojo.com">WatchMojo</a>, creator of professionally produced instructional and topical videos, <a href="http://www.prweb.com/releases/2009/04/prweb2307854.htm">announced today</a> that it has passed over 50 million views across all their video properties online. WatchMojo has developed its distribution model to take advantage of multiple online social network and media sites, like <a href="http://www.hulu.com">Hulu</a>, <a href="http://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo!</a> Video, and <a href="http://www.youtube.com">YouTube</a>. Videos range from instructional, to parody and even extreme sports.</p>]]>
      <![CDATA[<p><center><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CnFpSELWNCI&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CnFpSELWNCI&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object></center></p>

<p>The company states that growth has nearly doubled in recent months, taking 26 months to hit 25 million views, and 11 more months to get to 50 million. This was done while keeping their production costs almost at the same level, and growing ad and license revenue by 50 percent. <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com">TechCrunch</a> has more analysis on their blog <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/04/07/watchmojocoms-videos-watched-more-than-50-million-times/">here</a>.</p>

<p>Although WatchMojo has its own site where their diverse line-up of content can be viewed, they also maintain a profile on many major video sharing and social networking sites. For example, their custom <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watchmojo">YouTube channel</a> has over 2,500 videos available, and their <a href="http://www.hulu.com/companies/62">Hulu Channel</a> is divided into categories featuring their best content. They also provide videos for display on digital signs that can be seen in malls and other public places. </p>

<p>In relation to the total number of videos being streamed each month on a site like YouTube, WatchMojo videos aren't a significant percentage - yet. According to <a href="http://www.comscore.com/press/release.asp?press=2444">ComScore</a>, YouTube has served over <em>5 billion</em> videos over its lifetime, and it is estimated they stream over 100 million videos a day. However, if you think of that total as a 'market capitalization' figure for video services like WatchMojo to shoot for, then the sky is the limit.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Phil, </p>

<p>Thanks for the coverage... and really like the market cap analogy / observation.</p>

<p>Indeed, when you realize how little of our library is on some of these sites (even YouTube "only" has 2,800 out of out library of 4,100 published videos) then indeed the sky is the limit.  And what to say of a site like hulu, which is growing rapidly but only has 400 or so clips.</p>

<p>In turn, even our own site only has 4,100 out of the 5,000 or so clips we have shot but not have had the time to publish.</p>

<p>Himanshu, </p>

<p>Good to see you are a loyal and longtime viewer, thanks for the support and feedback.</p>]]>
