Vidmeter was a viral video analytics service that launched in 2007. The site tracked the top 100 Internet videos across multiple Internet video websites such as YouTube and Vimeo.[1][2][3][4][5] During the lawsuit Viacom International Inc. v. YouTube, Inc., Vidmeter published a study showing Viacom videos accounted for a relatively small portion of YouTube's view count.[6][7] In 2008, Vidmeter was acquired by Visible Measures for an undisclosed sum.[8]
