Dailymotion Blog

So, as one of our competitors launched a French version yesterday, we would like to announce that, according to Alexa, Comscore, and Nielsen Net Ratings, we have the largest audience of any online video site in France.

We would also like to let you know that earlier this week we charted as 48th most-trafficked website in the world according to Alexa (June 18, 2007 data based on page views and visitors), and the 14th most trafficked French website according to Nielsen (all categories together).

We owe these strong figures to you. Thank you. We will look forward to offering you ever-better features and services in the months to come.

Hello All!

For a few months we have been working on an updated version of Dailymotion, and today we have the honor of presenting you with our new beta.

At http://beta.dailymotion.com, you will find:

• a larger site, to better promote your work,
• a clearer site, re-designed for ease of navigation,
• a more useful site, which offers related videos, a faster search engine, new group and profile page layouts, a unified upload page, and the much-awaited option of choosing the video featured on your profile page.

This is just the beginning of a new era for Dailymotion, as we have other features and functionalities in the works… Just hold tight!

If you would like to let us know of any bugs in the beta - or if you would like to congratulate our team on the new version - you only need one address: beta@dailymotion.com

We released a new feature this week allowing you to know what is the percentage of the video processing. The status is displayed on the player page and when it will reach 100%, the page will automatically reload and show your video.
We hope that you will like it !
