Where in the world are people watching Obama's YouTube videos?

Today, YouTube announced that users now have the ability to make statistical information about their videos (collected in YouTube Insight) available publicly to anyone watching their videos on YouTube.

The White House quickly seized this opportunity to share information about how their video content is being consumed, and by who. And on the White House blog today, they shared some particularly intriguing information about which of their YouTube videos are popular in which areas of the world. According the White House, "President Obama's video message to the Iranian people on the Nowruz holiday was our third most viewed video overall and most viewed in Iran."

In addition, they note, "the President's speech to the Muslim World in Cairo was also widely viewed and was especially popular in the US, Egypt, Nigeria, and Tanzania."



The White House has posted several other examples on their blog that are worth checking out. And you can always stay up-to-date on who is watching the White House channel by visiting the official White House channel on YouTube, clicking on the video you'd like to learn more about, clicking "View comments, related videos, and more" and finally choosing the "Statistics & Data" link.
