Half of All Users Watch or Share Video
by Tom Anthony on Jan.10, 2008, under General Posts
I found an interesting statistic in Website Magazine today. According to the Pew Internet and American Life Project, 48 percent of Internet users have visited a video-sharing site like YouTube at least once to watch or post a video. That number is a giant leap from 33 percent in December 2006. They also state that 15 percent watch or post a video on a typical day, up from 8 percent last year.
A couple of interesting finds:
- Men are more likely to have used a video-sharing site – 53 percent, compared to 43 percent of women.
- 70 percent of users under 30 have used the sites, compared to just 16 percent of those 65 and over.
- About 25 percent of Americans have recorded video, and of those 14 percent have uploaded their videos – up from 4 percent in 2006.
Video production and uploading is getting easier every day. It has been a long time coming but speed (bandwidth) is finally not the huge hurdle it was when I first got into the Internet Business. Cool.

- Steve’s BuddyI believe the Holidays are about faith and family and not necessarily about the dollar value of the gift. So I wanted to give some very personalized gifts for the holidays this year for many reasons – mostly because I did not want to fall into the trap of buying some generic piece of crap at Wal*Mart and calling it a Christmas present. I decided to […]
