[Air-L] YouTube Data

[Main]

Have you tried Webometric Analyst? It's free software available from Wolverhampton University. I've not played with the youtube function myself but I have seen research which does similar things to the project you describe. You will need to download the manual and I recommend Mike Thelwall's work on webometrics to help make sense of the program.

Subject: [Air-L] YouTube Data

Hi everyone,

I have been lurking on the list for about a year now and really enjoying
the wealth of insights and information, but this is my first addition to
it. I am currently working on a project which would like to track the
network of some YouTube videos, so that includes things like referrals from
other videos, embedding videos on external sites, video comments, text
comments, etc. I would also like to use any demographic data available. Can
anyone inform me about the reliability of the statistics provided on
YouTube itself for each video, or point me in the direction of some
publications on the subject? Additionally, if anyone is aware of any
programs that would allow me to view the network between groups of videos
or research that has been done in this area I would be very appreciative.

Thank you in advance!
