10 Billion Video Views Online in December
A recently released comScore Video Metrix service report, revealed
that U.S. Internet users watched more than 10 billion videos online
during the month of December, 2007, representing the single heaviest
month for online video consumption since comScore initiated its
tracking service. Google Sites saw substantial growth and extended
its video market share gains, now accounting for nearly one out of
every three videos viewed online.
Erin Hunter, comScore executive vice president of media and
entertainment "With the writer's strike keeping new TV episodes from
reaching the airwaves... It appears that online video is stepping in
to help fill that (alternatives for fresh content) void."
Google Sites once again ranked as the top U.S. video property in
December with 32.6 percent share of videos. YouTube.com accounted
for more than 97 percent of all videos viewed at the property. Fox
Interactive Media ranked second, followed by Yahoo! Sites and Viacom
Digital.
