<h3>How Do I Get a Pinterest Invite?</h3>
<p>So people have been asking. This Pinterest thing seems to be the newest fad and <a title="Pinterest Growing Statistics" href="http://www.cleancutmedia.com/internet/pinterest-moving-up-the-social-media-ranks">Pinterest growing pretty fast</a>. How can I get an invite so I can try it out or at least figure out if it is something worthwhile?</p>
<p>Pinterest is a &#8220;virtual pinboard&#8221; used to share images from around the web. Many businesses are now using it as a way of attracting visitors to their sites. Pinterest is already growing to be a big traffic driver for a lot of retailers as people &#8220;pin&#8221; up products they like or things they find artsy or beautiful.</p>
<p>Ok enough talk, so how can I get an invite!</p>
<h3>Two Ways to get an Pinterest Invite</h3>
<p><strong>1. Ask around for an Invite!</strong><br />
It&#8217;s cool. It&#8217;s not like begging for an invite to a party you aren&#8217;t invited to. You&#8217;ll be surprised how many of your friends are already on Pinterest and pinning away. Just ask people on Facebook, Twitter and see if one of your friends already have an account. Then when they offer, first accept the invite, open your account then say &#8220;Why didn&#8217;t you invite me earlier! You hid this from me! You are not my friend!&#8221; JK.</p>
<p><strong>2. Ask Clean Cut Media for an invite!</strong><br />
We are happy to give away a few invites, but we&#8217;d like to give it to our most engaged readers so here is what you can do to secure an invite from us. It&#8217;s easy. See below!</p>
<blockquote>
<h3>Securing an Invite from Clean Cut Media</h3>
<p>1) <strong>Leave a comment below</strong> telling us how you plan to use the account! (valid email so we can invite!)</p>
<p>2) <strong>Follow Us on <a title="Clean Cut Media Facebook" href="http://www.facebook.com/cleancutmedia" target="_blank">Facebook</a> &amp; <a title="Clean Cut Media Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/cleancutmedia" target="_blank">Twitter</a></strong> &#8211; and send us a note via one of these accounts asking for the Pinterest invite!</p>

<h3>Twitter Can Censor Your Content</h3>
<p>Twitter has announced through it&#8217;s blog that it could &#8220;reactively withhold content from users in a specific country&#8221;. Basically, twitter is saying it has the right to remove content if it is against the laws of a particular country or if needed by special request.</p>
<p>This created a bit of controversy.</p>
<p><strong>Is upholding Freedom of Speech important enough to break local laws?</strong></p>
<h3>Twitter Controversy &#8211; Freedom of Speech &gt; Local Laws?</h3>
<p>Freedom of information advocacy groups criticized the decision, afraid that it curbs the freedom of information and expression. Their concern is that it opens a dangerous precedent. Twitter&#8217;s response is that as they enter countries &#8220;that have different ideas about the contours of freedom of expression,&#8221; that they need to comply to such laws. One example is France and Germany banning pro-Nazi content. Of course, there are more controversial bans such as China&#8217;s famous suppression of information regarding Tienanmen Square, and more recently the killing sites discussing <strong><a title="Beijing Games China Ban" href="http://www.cleancutmedia.com/advertising/china%E2%80%99s-2008-beijing-olympics-media-part-ii-beauty-is-king" target="_blank">human rights issues during the Beijing games</a></strong>.</p>
<p><strong><a title="Google Censorship in China" href="http://www.cleancutmedia.com/internet/google-stands-against-chinese-internet-censorship" target="_blank">Google famously refused to cave into China&#8217;s censorship rules</a></strong> thus was never able to gain ample market share in the region. However remember China is a unique case of extreme censorship control.</p>
<p>Twitter has said that they have not used this ability yet, but if they do, they said &#8220;we will attempt to let the user know, and we will clearly mark when the content has been withheld&#8221;. They also admitted that some country&#8217;s views on this issue is so divergent that they won&#8217;t be able to exist there at all. China is one such country where twitter has been banned altogether due to being a source of news the government does not look kindly on.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cleancutmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Twitter-Logo.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-1891 alignright" title="Twitter Logo" src="http://www.cleancutmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Twitter-Logo.png" alt="" width="188" height="70" /></a></p>
<h3>Questions to Ponder about Twitter</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Is Freedom of Speech being violated considering this Local Laws of other countries may differ?</strong></li>
<li><strong>Should we demand Twitter to uphold Freedom of Speech, if it means ignoring Local Laws if other countries?</strong></li>
<li><strong>Is Freedom of Speech a right that goes beyond Laws, a higher right that everyone deserves?</strong></li>
</ul>

<p>Google confirmed that YouTube is now averaging 4 BILLION views per day. They also confirmed that 60 hours of video is uploaded into the site, every MINUTE.</p>
<p>Back in 2010 we were awed that <strong><a title="YouTube Statistics Billions of Views" href="http://www.cleancutmedia.com/video/youtube-statistics-2-billion-views-per-day-infographic" target="_blank">YouTube hit 2 billion views per day</a>,</strong> bringing up many discussions about whether <strong><a title="YouTube Statistics - Help or Hurt?" href="http://www.cleancutmedia.com/video/youtube-statistics-the-ultimate-time-suck" target="_blank">YouTube was helping or hurting our culture</a></strong> as a whole.</p>
<p>Then Back in May 2011, a mere 8 months ago, <strong><a title="Youtube Birthday Statistics" href="http://www.cleancutmedia.com/video/youtube-statistics-growing-like-a-man-child-infographic" target="_blank">YouTube celebrate it&#8217;s 6th birthday</a></strong> by citing YouTube is averaging 3 billion views per day and 48 hours of video uploaded per minute. Incredible. At the time, YouTube cited this is equivalent of every US Resident watching at least 9 videos per day. That is EVERY US RESIDENT. That means if some guy without internet is not watching a video, someone is watching 18 times. But now at 4 Billion Views, YouTube has seen a 50% increase in views in about less than a year. At this rate, they would probably hit 5 billion within 6 months.</p>
<p><strong>Is there a ceiling to this? </strong></p>
<p><strong>How many videos can one person possibly watch in a day?</strong></p>
<p>That is an insane about of videos. We really need a resurgent of hobbies or find some meaningful work! Anyone have any good stories of replacing mundane video watching with something productive?</p>
<p>Ironically having said that, below is a YouTube video highlighting this latest milestone. HA! Add another view to that figure.</p>
<p><object width="560" height="315" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sHPfc6whaSk?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed width="560" height="315" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sHPfc6whaSk?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" allowFullScreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" /></object></p>
<h3>Confession Time</h3>
<p>So a little confession time. Let us know below in the comments &amp; poll:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>How many videos do you think you watch a week?</strong></li>
<li><strong>How many times have you gone to youtube to watch 1 video and ended up watching 7?</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Don&#8217;t leave out those outliers where you watched 25 videos with your two friends around the couch!</p>

<h3>Do you know who has access to your Facebook? Your Twitter? To your Google Account?</h3>
<p><strong>What Apps, Programs, Websites have you given access to over time that you have forgotten about?</strong></p>
<p>You may be surprised how many apps have access to your account!</p>
<p>With the new year, take a few minutes to see who has access, and clean it up! A new site called &#8220;<a title="Privacy Settings" href="http://mypermissions.org" target="_blank">mypermissions.org</a>&#8221; provides links to the various settings pages. It&#8217;s quite simple. No login needed. Just click on the link to go to your settings and see who is linked to your account.</p>
<p>If you are so lazy or so fearful of clicking over to another site&#8230; I have provided the direct links to your setting pages below. Just click on the links below, log into your account (unless you are already logged in) and you should be at your settings/access page. Just click off the ones you don&#8217;t want accessing your data! A fresh new start for 2012.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><a title="Facebook Privacy Settings" href="http://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=applications" target="_blank">Facebook Settings</a><br />

<p>Google has released it&#8217;s Zeitgeist 2011 statistics. Google Zeitgeist highlights the top search trends of the year. I also see it as a snapshot into our culture because it really highlights recent fads, what sparks our interest and what grabbed the most attention. Whenever I see these lists, it&#8217;s a mix of excited curiosity and a bit of sadness over what grabs the most attention in our society. Take it as you will. Here is the top 10 list with some notes and comments for reference.</p>

YouTube is celebrating it's sixth birthday and the statistics are in... It's a man child.

A mere two years ago, we wrote a post called "YouTube Statistics - The Ultimate Time Suck". This article is currently the one of the most popular posts on Clean Cut Media. However it is amazing how quickly YouTube has grown. 90% of the YouTube Statistics you see out there are clearly outdated... thus here we've gathered some of the most current data, straight from YouTube and from articles dated in the last month. Enjoy!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop --><h3>Mobile Marketing Statistics</h3>
<p>As a professional who has been in the online marketing world since it&#8217;s birth, &#8220;mobile marketing&#8221; was the &#8220;next big thing&#8221; touted in every marketing conference for the past 6 years. I was always skeptical because, mobile was ALWAYS mentioned as the next big frontier, but I saw no medium in which the marketing ads could be delivered. There was no evidence or the numbers to back that claim.</p>
<p>Then came the iPhone, which changed everything. (RIP Steve Jobs).<br />
<img class="size-full wp-image-3675 alignright" style="margin: 3px;" title="Steve Jobs picture RIP" src="http://www.cleancutmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/steve-jobs-picture-RIP.jpg" alt="Steve Jobs picture RIP" width="240" height="301" /></p>
<h3>Apple iPhone (Steve Jobs) Ushers in the New Age of Mobile Marketing</h3>
<p>Those who are just now reading articles about how Steve Jobs was a great visionary may not realize how much he really revolutionized every industry he touched. He isn&#8217;t just the CEO who introduced the iPod or the bringer of the iPhone. He literally led the way in creating products and ecosystems that created brand new industries and as a result thousands and thousands of jobs. Numerous companies out there can give some credit to their existence and growth to much of what Steve Jobs contributed to the technology sector. Think about the 100s of companies centered around building apps, or building games for the phone, apple product accessories, geo-location marketing companies, or mobile marketing service agencies. Think of all those companies centered around some product or service related to the digital music / mp3 market which not that long ago was owned by big media, then by organizations like Napster. Think about whole divisions created to tap into and create applications on tablets or all the cool little startups utilizing the social mobility of smartphones. Think about all the executives out there, innovators in their own right, sharing how Steve Jobs helped them conceptualize and grow their own companies. Apple products drove the strategy and goals of other competitors from big music labels, computer makers to phone carriers. The list goes on and on. There is a reason why Steve Job&#8217;s death has had led to such huge ripples across the nation. RIP Steve Jobs. Thanks so much for everything.</p>
<p>Just one of such industries that changed forever, is the mobile market.</p>
<h3>How did the Apple iPhone change the mobile landscape?</h3>
<p><strong>Smartphone Becomes the Norm:</strong><br />
To put it simply, the iPhone made having a smartphone the norm. Only a few years back, very few had smartphones. Smartphones were reserved for the executives of big companies, mainly in the form of the blackberry. No one thought about using it as a &#8220;personal&#8221; device. It was too expensive, too hefty, seemed a bit complex. It was seen as a &#8220;professional&#8221; device. Everyone had flip phones and were content.</p>
<p>Then the iPhone became the &#8220;apple&#8221; of everyone&#8217;s attention. (oh no you didn&#8217;t!)</p>
<p>Simple. Affordable. Snazzy. Hip. Apple said, hey you want it. You need it. You can get cool apps on it. You can play games on it. You need a calendar. You need to access email instantly. You need it to watch videos. You need it to text with a bigger screen. All of syncs with your computer really easily so it&#8217;s easy to use. It was cool, it was hip, the iPhone.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3676" style="margin: 3px;" title="Steve Jobs iPhone" src="http://www.cleancutmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Steve-Jobs-iPhone.jpg" alt="Steve Jobs iPhone" width="292" height="251" />Steve Jobs drove Apple to create a product that is simple and affordable for the public. Just like the iPod, iPhones took the basics of what mass consumers use (surfing the net, watching videos, taking pictures, texting), and created a product that did those things well and made it easy to use. While most of the technology world was still competing over adding more and more complex features, Apple focused on the core-uses of the consumer and made it simple and easy. Suddenly smartphones became a personal device that everyone must have. As everyone started to buy iPhones, other mobile phone competitors jumped on the bandwagon, recognizing the shift in the market. Now everyone and their mother, and their teenager daughter has an iPhone. I&#8217;ve seen kids still in middle school with the iTouch giving them free access to the internet. Which I have problems with, but that is another story.</p>
<p><strong>Easier to Browse the Internet</strong><br />
The iPhone has also made it much easier to browse the web. Once checking the internet on your phone was so painful, that often it was just not worth it. You would have to click 24 times just to get to the article you wanted. It would be hard to read, the links were the infamous blue, taking up half the screen. Clicking on it was impossible unless you had petite fingers. Not to mention the tiny screens where web formats would break or a unfriendly page of blue links dominated the user experience. It wasn&#8217;t worth it. Don&#8217;t even get started on the ads. </p>
<p>The iPhone suddenly made surfing the internet, easy and simple. It was just like browsing on the computer, just on a smaller screen. Full browser, full experience (minus the flash! save the complaints!). No more nasty mobile ad formats and spammy links or 14 clicks to get back to the homepage. Surfing the net on the mobile phone became a reality.</p>
<p><strong>Created an App Ecosystem</strong></p>
<p>The iPhone also did a fantastic job courting developers and creating a whole &#8220;app&#8221; centered world. All kinds of creative apps were developed, as well as numerous ways to connect with the consumer. There are so many interesting and creative geo-centered applications, interest based apps, productivity apps, and all of these apps became an avenue in which marketers can use to engage the users.</p>
<h3>Mobile Marketing becomes Legit</h3>
<p>What Steve Jobs and Apple did was legitimize ads on mobile phones. With the iPhone, it put smartphones in the hands on the consumer, it provided a good browsing experience like nothing before, and created an world of applications which opened up even more avenues to reach the consumer.</p>
<p>For the last year and a half, mobile marketing has become a huge play in the online marketing world. In fact in most industries, Mobile Marketing paid traffic you can find on Google alone will be greater than all of the traffic from Yahoo / Bing Paid Search combined. The quality has dramatically improved because users can actually read, click and engage the companies that serve the ads.</p>
<p>So for all you working in some field related to mobile marketing, give a little thanks to the innovations of Apple.</p>

Not only is it fun, but it actually shows you the capabilities of the product itself. Magic Bullet Suite 11 is a tool with built in visual effect plug-ins that are easily implemented into any video product. The company brought in an indie filmmaker named Seth Worley to create this piece called "Plot Device" to show off some the different visual effects. Love sharing some good clean advertising!

<p>Check out this viral video from Red Giant Software highlighting the use of their Professional Video Tool, Magic Bullet Suite 11. It&#8217;s well done and fun to watch! Not only is it fun, but it actually shows you the capabilities of the product itself. Magic Bullet Suite 11 is a tool with built in visual effect plug-ins that are easily implemented into any video product. The company brought in an indie filmmaker named Seth Worley to create this piece called &#8220;Plot Device&#8221; to show off some the different visual effects. Love sharing some good clean advertising!</p>

<p>Magic Bullet Suite 11 is professional toolkit for filmmakers designed by film director Stu Maschwitz. I highly recommend this product for anyone working on a budget or desire Hollywood quality results for their short films and videos. It&#8217;s convenient, easy to use, and really makes things look awesome with very little effort. Magic Bullet Suite helps with color grading, color treatment, removing noise, and adding tons of simple effects such as adding specific glows, lighting, flares, vignettes, shadows and so on.</p>
<h3>Intel &#8211; The Chase Commercial</h3>
<p>Agency: Venables Bell &amp; Partners</p>
<p>Another well made commercial created by Intel to build up buzz around the 2nd eneration Intel® Core™ i5 processor. It is another video where an fun action spot is created but has the dual purpose of showing of the performance capabilities of the product itself. It isn&#8217;t as well-done as the previous video, but clever none the less and a creative idea worth sharing.</p>

Social Media is in a very interesting stage of it's life. Many companies have jumped in. Some are showing great profits, others just see it as a good "brand" play, while others are skeptical just dipping their toes and seeing what happens. It reminds me where SEM and SEO was just 6-7 years ago when businesses would hire interns to figure it out for them. But look where online marketing is now...

<h3>Social Media Usage by Small Businesses</h3>
<p>Social Media is in a very <a title="Social Media Growth Statistics" href="http://www.cleancutmedia.com/internet/social-media-statistics-video-growth-impact" target="_blank">interesting stage of it&#8217;s life</a> in terms of how it is used by different businesses and organizations. It&#8217;s <a title="Social Media Statistics Business" href="http://www.cleancutmedia.com/internet/growth-of-social-media-statistics-video-socialnomics" target="_blank">growth is undeniable</a> but the level of usage varies across the board. Many companies have jumped in. Some are showing great profits, others just see it as a good &#8220;brand&#8221; play, while others are skeptical just dipping their toes and seeing what happens. It reminds me where SEM and SEO was just 6-7 years ago when businesses would hire interns to figure it out for them. But look where online marketing is now&#8230;</p>
<p>A full fledged social media play may not be for everyone, but no matter what business or organization you run, there is great benefit of using this medium to interact with your customer. Whether it is to drive sales, gain brand exposure, to get feedback from customers, or perhaps to lower cost of customer service, there is numerous ways social media is being used with great results. See this nifty little video below:</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="560" height="349" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CttFgE913PE?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CttFgE913PE?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>

<li><strong>Increased Exposure: </strong>88% of social media marketers found social media increases their exposure</li>
<li><strong>Increased Traffic &amp; Subscriptions: </strong>72% of social media marketers found increased traffic and subscriptions</li>
<li><strong>New Partnerships: </strong>56% reported gaining new partnerships via social media</li>
<li><strong>Improved Sales: </strong>48% of small business owners saw improved sales as a direct result of social media efforts</li>

<li><strong>Those who spend 6+ Hours per week are TWICE as likely to generate social media leads </strong>as those spending less than 5 Hours per week.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Starbucks Plenta and Micra Sizes</h3>
<blockquote><p>“Whether customers are looking for a large or small size, the Plenta and the Micra satisfy all U.S. and Canada customers’ needs for more and less coffee,” said Hugh Mungis, Starbucks VP of Volume. “Our size selection is now plentiful.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Starbucks last year announced that in response to consumer requests for more sizes, that they would add two additional sizes. The Micra at 2 ounces and the Plenta at 128 ounces. The Plenta looks pretty much like a KFC Bucket. Awesome. This came after the announcement of the new size Trenta at 32 ounces which help give a bit of legitimacy. Check out the hilarious sizes below. April Fools!</p>

<p>Surfing the web when bored? Bored of surfing the web? Google Chrome last year differentiated itself by offering the latest plugin to add SOUNDS to your web browsing experience. It provides audio feedback depending on what you do and what you browse. April Fools!</p>
<p>The hilarious part is that the sounds are ridiculous and often really annoying. You can still find it here: <a title="Google Chrome Sounds" href="https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/kkfibincabhfblmkmhcabnlghmncdcaf/" target="_blank">Google Chrome Sounds</a> &#8211; Try it out, let us know in comments what you think!</p>

<h3>Videonuze &#8211; In Unprecedented Deal, Google and Apple Team Up to Privatize the FCC</h3>
<p>Videonuze came out with a hilarious post that Google and Apple has bought out the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). The FCC is the government agency that usually governs the media &amp; broadband business sectors. It also helps controls the rules and regulation of business transactions. Here is an excerpt below. Funny piece. April Fools!</p>
<blockquote><p>VideoNuze has learned that Google and Apple have teamed up to privatize the FCC in a transaction preliminarily valued at $42.5 billion. Though the U.S. government is already widely believed to be controlled by corporate interests, this is the first time that a formal deal to transfer ownership of a government agency has been contemplated. The deal has far-ranging implications for the media and technology industries, not to mention for American democracy. VideoNuze has gained exclusive access to the details.</p>
<p>&#8230;In a follow-up interview, Apple&#8217;s CEO Steve Jobs added further detail, &#8220;I was sitting in my office micro-managing the legal weenies on this HTC lawsuit aimed at gumming up the Nexus One&#8217;s rollout when my iPhone rings with Eric&#8217;s caller ID. Ordinarily I wouldn&#8217;t even answer that back-stabbing, lying sack of you-know-what&#8217;s call but I wanted to rub his nose in our big legal plans. So I nonchalantly answer the phone, &#8216;What&#8217;s up dirtbag, looking for some more of Apple&#8217;s product ideas to steal?&#8217; And he&#8217;s like, &#8216;yeah, whatever, look, here&#8217;s why I&#8217;m calling.&#8217;  And then he proceeds to tell me about this cockamamie scheme that he and those two Doogie Howser co-founder dorks of his have come up with, to privatize the FCC.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
