ajkirwin - that's a great question!
You are correct user numbers are exciting but not everything.
One number that we use to gauge overall usage of the site is the total amount of video watched per month. It can be argued that for an online video site - the volume of video watched is the primary metric by which to define the success of the product.
In October 2008 there were over 2000 years of video watched on Justin.tv.
2000 years equals:
24,000 months
720,000 days
17,280,000 hours
1,036,800,000 minutes
Everyday over 570,000 hours of video are watched on the Justin.tv live video network.
That is quite a feat for an 11 person company don't you think?
- ajkirwin 18y agoSee, now THAT is impressive ;) And I don't really have that many users. 1,840~ activated users at last count. Which puts me between Niue and the Falkland Islands :D
- smanek 18y agoSorry, I'm having trouble reconciling those numbers. Assuming 2.5 Million users: 2000 Years of video watching a month comes out to about 7 hours/month/user. 5.7 Million hours a day comes out to over 2 hours/day/user, or about 60 hours/month/user. I think one of those numbers is off by an order of magnitude ... Or is my my math wrong?
- abstractbill 18y agoYour math isn't wrong, but the assumption that you have to register as a Justin.TV user in order to watch video is wrong.
- smanek 18y agoIn either case, the numbers still don't reconcile. Is the 5.7 Million hours of video/day number right, or is the 2000 Years of video/month right? 2000 Years of video/month only works out to half a million hours per day ... not 5 million. They still differ by an order of magnitude.
