Googlified

YouTube just released a new tool called YouTube Insight that let’s users to view “detailed statistics” of the videos that you uploaded. You can see statistics like the number of views per day, and break it down by regions. According to the Official Google Blog post, you can find the tool by “clicking under the ‘About this Video’ button under My Account > Videos, Favorites, Playlists > Manage My Videos.” (YouTube won’t let me log into the site right now because they are “performing site maintenance”.)

Sounds pretty cool and Analyticstic!

Googler Ario J. says, “[A]n engineer hands out mint vanilla and cayenne chocolate flavored ice cream that she made in her 20% time!”

I heard that “most people don’t even have a 5% project”, as Hans Cardinal, who claimed to be a ex-Googler, commented on a ValleyWag post titled, “Googlers vent: Working here sucks, too”. Maybe it really depends what project(s) the Googler’s working on (and the Googler’s position in the company).
