MetaCafe- COS Social Media in Review

[COS Productions]

We joined MetaCafe
in Feb. of 2006 when it was young. We have nearly 500 videos posted
there with views ranging anywhere from 50 to 3000.

Those videos with interesting and catchy descriptions seem to get the
most views.

We have subscribers to our MetaCafe channel which is important since
those people will get a notification when we upload a video.

There seems to be a more mature audience for us here. We have several
videos that have over 3000 with the majority of those being
suspense/thriller genre.
This site isn’t as big as YouTube or MySpace, but it has proven to be
reliable with a good number of viewers interested in book trailers.

They do play pre-roll commercials, which is fine, but a little annoying.
You can’t blame them though, they do need to make money and the
pre-rolls are brief. It hasn’t seemed to hamper our view numbers.
MetaCafe has a panel that reviews the video and sometimes they will mark
our video 13+ which is like PG13. That doesn’t seem to hurt the number
either.

There are options for bookmarking but we seldom use them from that site.
We upload via TubeMogul, but check the profile and video performance
once a week from the Metacafe site.
