Twitter Traffic More Valuable than Facebook or Digg for Video Publishers - 0 views

“Despite Twitter’s erstwhile reputation as a soapbox for ephemeral thoughts (i.e. “long line at Starbucks…argh!”), the data tells another story: as a platform, Twitter refers among the most engaged video viewers out there. One possible reason for this might be the fact that the service allows one-way following, which means everyone’s feed is hyper-customized, with less noise caused by needless “friend” reciprocation or, in the case of Digg, a crowded homepage. This way, if someone links to a video from Twitter, there is already a built-in selection bias.”

I haven't done a quantitative study as TubeMogul has for video, but I suspect that you'll find the same dynamic for many other types of content like blog articles as well. My personal experience with my own content is that Twitter has delivered a more targetted audience than Facebook or MySpace, so far, and one that is more engaged with my content. I've invested a lot of time in Facebook and MySpace presence, so my hope is that they can still re-tune to address my needs, but for now Twitter works.

This doesn't surprise me at all. When most people are on twitter...they are looking for good content to watch, interact and share with their audiences.

是啊，毕竟twitter主要是做分享的工作，甚至远远超越了它最初最期望的"与好友保持联络"的初终。可以说，是twitter，才让分享精神第一次真真正正的站起了来！
