Video sharing: Most watched videos on YouTube in 2009

The most watched video on YouTube this year is: Susan Boyle - Britain's Got Talent - a music contest in the UK. Susan Boyle is one of the contestants... She is rather chubby and does not have the looks of Britney Spears. But she can sing alright... A big buzz that got 120+ million views!

Music or Music video is indeed one of the most watched categories on the net. A new online video portal has recently been launched to meet this growing demand: http://www.vevo.com/

The most watched commercial video is that of Evian: Evian Roller Babies with 27+ million views. Overall 5th position in the 2009 online video chart.

Video sharing: Stella Artois video series

Not just 1 online video commercial but a series of 8 YouTube videos that somehow combine a stylish 60's sensibility and environmental message. Stella Artois has certainly succeeded in creating a strong image and a universe of its own. With these series, we see how we can utilize different techniques (short movie, documentary, tv show...), more subtle than 'direct' product advertising, to draw the consumer.

Watch the series here! There is even a special series dedicated to ORIGAMI here!

Video sharing: Sony Bravia - A Colorful Viral

A beautiful way to start the day, the week, the month... full of colors. This video was put online 3 years ago and has been watched some 2 million times... A video is considered to be 'viral' if it reaches 50 000 views. In Lebanon, very few videos have reached that number (for now!)
