Online video is having a profound affect on the way we distribute and consume information.
1. 10 Billion videos watched in US Dec 2007
2. 52% of all web traffic is video (source: eMarketer, Dec 2007)
3. 141 million Americans viewed online video in December
4. There are over 1.5 BILLION Internet connected computers, worldwide
5. Video listings show up in all search engines, Google in as little as 10 minutes after they are submitted
Look how the Bejing Olympics moved online for a major portion of the audience. The number of videos viewed per month in the United States alone jumped from 10 billion to more than 15 billion during the Olympics. In many cases, watching events online usurped commercial television for the first time ever.
The recent U.S. Presidential campaign is another case where Web video played a pivotal role either debunking rumors the mainstream television media gave too much credence to or elevating stories they couldn't or wouldn't cover—not to mention providing a way for voters to watch candidates' interviews and debate performances on their own schedules.
Is it any wonder Web video is also transforming the way businesses market their products and services?
