;;;; if it's not difficult, it would be nice to see -10k video views

;,;, down into your 50 categories. the more important data would be ;;;; categorizing a small random # of video views into the categories ;,;, specified below (actually, only private vs public, and % of views ;;;; where there may be a copyright issue; the language types we can guess ;;;; at based on your country data, and category would be covered by the ;,;; above 10K video request) ;;;; ;;;;;; As for the growth rate dropping off, if you look at the history of ;,;;;; views in the past 12 months, we have hit certain artificial ;;;,;, bottlenecks that are lifted when we add more database machines,
;;;;;;image ;;;;;, servers, web servers, and video servers. In this case, we have had
;,;,;, an interrupted supply of servers from our vendors and we're running ;;;;;; at 0% capacity on image servers and web servers for the last 2
;,;;;, weeks.
;;;; ;;;; just quickly eyeballing the data (i didn't compute growth rates), it ;;;; looks like the slowdown started about 4 weeks ago, not 2 weeks ago... ;;;; is there are a different explanation, or did the slowdown actually ;;;; start 2 weeks ago?
;,;, ;;;;;; On the ops side, did you want me to wait until the conversation with ;;;;;; your folks to do the deep dive there? i could also do it through
;,;,;, emaiL. i wanted to know what you meant with the "what securities
;;;;;; are
;,;;;; in place"? Is that pertaining to the physical security of our data
;,;,;, centers? Of our machines? Or of the software securities such as ;;;;;; firewalls and IP-address blocking? ;,;; ;,;, it'll be easier to get a couple of folks on the phone with you. i'lI ;;;; have names tomorrow. they'll probably want to ask those questions ;;;; above and more... ;,;, ;;;;;; Thanks.

;,;,;,;, - please categorize playback sources: embedded in pages (at least
;;;;;;;; broken out for myspace) vs emailed vs discovered on youtube
;,;,;,;, (search or ;;;;;;;; browsed)
;;;;;;;, - can you provide a random sample of playbacks (say 500), and ;,;,;,;, roughly ;;;;;;;; categorize them by categories including private, potentially ;;;;;;;, copyright ;,;,;,;, issues, language spoken, and type of video (music video, news, ;;;;;;;, user-generated, etc); if easier you can give us the URL's and we'll ;;;;;;;; categorize ;,;,;,;, - can you categorize a larger random sample of playbacks (say
;;;;;;;; 10,000)
;;;;;;;; into your 50 topic categories? if you need to do this manually, a ;;;,;,;, smaller set is fine ;;;;;;;; - are the most frequently seen videos.. "Browse Video Today, This ;;;;;;;; Week, This Month, All Time"... really the most frequent, or is ;,;,;,;, there ;;;;;;;; some filtering? if it's correct, it gvies us a sense of the most ;;;;;;;, commonly played back videos, so we don't need to ask for any ;;;;;,;, additional info on what videos are played most frequently ;;;;;;;, - roughly in which countries are videos getting played ;;;;;;;; - why has your growth rate dropped off this month relative to last ;;;,;;;; - what metrics do you track? (Uploads, registered users, active ;;;;;;;; users, revenue, advertisers, int'l breakouts, etc). please provide
