Today Brightcove and TubeMogul released the Online Video & the Media Industry Quarterly Research Report for the third quarter of 2010. The report examines online video discovery, usage, and engagement data from a sample of nearly 2,000 news and entertainment websites.

In Q3, we also included a special feature focusing on the peak days of the week and times of day broken out by each of the media industries we cover. 

Notable findings include:

Discovery

• Facebook now refers more video streams than Yahoo! for the aggregate media sample. This marks the first time the social platform has surpassed the search engine and content portal. Facebook accounted for 9.6% of all referrals, making it second only to Google.
   

At Brightcove Account Management, we're always looking for better ways to keep our partners informed. As a team, we share these little tidbits internally and I thought it might be fun to broaden the distribution. If you have suggestions, please shoot me a note or add a comment.

At the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this morning, Brightcove will announce an exciting new distribution opportunity for professional media publishers. Through a seamless integration with the Yahoo! TV Widget Engine, Brightcove customers can now use their existing account and workflow to publish and maintain branded online video experiences for the living room television - no additional design or development work required.
