Where are YouTube Video Watchers? Creators now know; can host LBS ads

The New York Times describes the new feature which allows video creators to learn when and where their creations are being watched. The program called YouTube Insight provides daily updates down to the state level in the U.S. and by country in the rest of the world. Geographic data is provided in thematic maps. No word yet that I've found on which is being used to determine location of the viewer, but there are many options.

The Times writer suggests the tool can be used as a pilot - to see where a band might be popular or if a political speech resonates in one area. Next up for YouTube, tools for creators to see from where on the Web watchers come.
