My Opinion
Social video was definitely one of the biggest trends on the web in 2012. The top 10 brands accounted for a colossal 35 million video shares.

The power brand sharing Happiness all over the world Coca-Cola, made the biggest leap, growing by 485.4% from last year.

Not strange if you see the success of their videos like Unlock the 007 in you. You have 70 seconds:

Of course video shares are a very nice indicator of success, but I think total views (watched) is another important viral KPI.

Talking about powerful social videos in 2012, how about the absolute emperor of social video in 2012 PSY Gangnam Style, who’s closing in one 1 billion views, becoming the most popular video in YouTube history:
