The high costs of running YouTube. - By Farhad Manjoo - Slate Magazine - 1 views

  • But YouTube's problems point to a larger difficulty for many Web startups: "User-generated content" is proving to be a financial albatross.
  • There's a simple reason for this: Advertisers don't like paying very much to support homemade photos and videos
  • At YouTube, the relationship can be backward: The videos that get the most clicks—and are thus most expensive for YouTube to carry—trend toward the sort of lewd or random flavor that doesn't sit well with advertisers.

  • Probably not—YouTube sells ads on fewer than 10 percent of its videos. Credit Suisse estimates that 375 million people around the world will play about 75 billion YouTube videos this year. To serve up all these streams, the company has to pay for a broadband connection capable of hurtling data at the equivalent of 30 million megabits-per-second—about 6 million times as fast as your home Internet connection.

Facebook May Be Growing Too Fast. And Hitting The Capital Markets Again. - 0 views

  • The company is likely spending well over a $1 million per month on electricity alone, say experts we’ve spoken with. Bandwidth is likely another $500,000 or more per month on top of that. The company has earmarked $100 million to buy 50,000 servers this year and next. And sources say they’ve been buying one NetApp 3070 storage system per week just to keep up with all this user generated content. At up to $2 million each, that adds up quickly – we’ve heard estimates that they may have spent as much as $30 million this year alone with the company. And the icing on the cake – earmark another $15 million per year in office and datacenter rent payments.

How to Setup a Streaming WebCam - 0 views

  • world for you.  Services don't necessarily need to be as expensive as they might seem.  WebCams can be served from dedicated, measured usage or the new Media Server Bundles
  • A really nice touch to any WebCam is multiple cameras!  Ask the video equipment store for a automatic switcher.
  • with at least 150k reliable upstream bandwidth available.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • If your webcam has a steady stream of visitors for more than 230 hours/month (~57 hours/week), you will be better off on a dedicated plan.
  • Dedicated plans only pay for bandwidth capacity (max simultaneous viewers), regardless of the amount of data actually transmitted.
  • You can estimate costs of measured plans (including Media Server Bundles) by total viewers/month and their average viewing time.  Measured plans also let your webcam burst more bandwidth during peek usage periods then what a comparable dedicated plan might allow for.  For example, if your webcam receives 10,000 viewers/month and they average about 5 minutes each, then you're only transmitting about 38.98GB/month.  This can only cost about $100/month for ~49 simultaneous viewers @109Kbps.  Maximum costs can be controlled by specifying a maximum number of simultaneous viewers when you subscribe to the publishing point service. Please visit our streaming media estimator to help determine which service plan is best for you.

Unit Structures: Selling Social Networks - 0 views

  • Nevertheless, partnerships, successfully implemented, do seem to be a solid monetization platform for social networks.
  • We've already seen micropayments implemented in Cyworld.
  • For example, when offering upgrades via micropayments, always offer a free upgrade as well as the paid upgrades. This gets the user in the mindset of purchasing - and once they see that everyone else has the free upgrade, they will want to express their individuality by purchasing upgrades.
