Is it ok to ask my friends if they watch my videos? Or should it not matter since they're my friends?

I'm coming in to your videos later in the game and just starting to watch them, so I can't speak to a trend or anything, but I will say that I've noticed that, over time, with gaining more and more friends, people want to see succinct, special videos... if that makes sense. Short videos with some spark to them (one little tidbit, etc.) seem to have better view count for me. People like silly, short, to the point, that kind of thing. I think once people get to know you, they don't necessarily need a MeToday every day (gasp, I know), but just a snippet of what's new or funny or unique about this particular day. I have a better time of it now that I'm working with Viddler, but before I know that I was overwhelmed with content at one point and just stopped watching MeTodays over 4 minutes... I couldn't physically make time for it, because the more friends you have, the more overwhelming it is.
It's also possible that people are watchin

Anyway, sorry for sucha long comment and maybe some of that will help or make sense. I think with more and more video blogging friends, you eventually reach a critical mass and sometimes people don't take the time to comment or watch every single video. It's just a matter of time availability sometimes. I don't think it's a statement about how much your internet friends enjoy what you have to say. :)

On YouTube, I'll friend everyone because there's the option to subscribe to shows/people as well. Thus being able to watch the subscriptions without falling too behind.
E-mailing you closest friends is a good idea if you want to know how/why they watch your videos on an individual basis.
When I see a new video from a friend, including yourself, I know it's going to be cool; so I'll watch it.
