Google’s announcement that it would spend $100 million to create original programming for its YouTube video site was the subject of 10 percent of news links shared via Twitter, topping that category in the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism’s New Media Index for the week of April 4-8.
The plans for YouTube, particularly the write-up by Mashable, were followed by: Facebook, including a Mashable item on how to get a job with the social network, at 8 percent; a Skype survey finding more acceptance of working from home, at 5 percent; also at 5 percent, another Mashable post predicting the state of the smartphone industry in 2015; and completing the Mashable sweep, also at 5 percent, was Twitter’s move to temporarily disable its new homepage April 5 due to technical difficulties.
