Online Video Viewing Is Up; One More Competitor for Books
Publishing NewsReader Habits3 Comments
According to a comScore Network study, 74% of Internet users are watching online videos. 134 million Internet users watched over 9 billion video clips in July. The study says that just in the past few months, the monthly time spent viewing videos went from 145 minutes in March to 181 minutes in July.
I hope later today when Part 2 video review of Claudia Dain’s The Courtesan’s Daughter is posted that you all are reading books and not watching videos.

I wonder if the increase will continue, or if we’re in a video honeymoon that will taper off. My video viewing seems to have peaked already, sometime last year. Now I’m much pickier–it has to be something unusual like your stick figure reviews!
Hmm…I’m always watching videos and TV shows online instead of reading books. *g*
Well, according to Google: “Today, 13 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute, and we believe the volume will continue to grow exponentially.”
And I remember back in the days when all we had was singlereel.com and radicalzoo.com. They were actually the web’s first Youtube and Google video kind of sites. My how times have changed!
