Video Sharing Website Grow

The Pew Internet & American Life Project has just released findings showing that 48% of internet users have been to video-sharing sites such as YouTube. In 2007 48% of internet users said they had ever visited a video-sharing site such as YouTube. Pew conducted a similar interview and found that in December 2006, 33% of internet users said they had ever visited such sites. 15% of respondents said they had used a video-sharing site "yesterday" - the day before they were contacted for our survey. A year ago, 8% had visited such a site "yesterday."

So from a community perspective this is good news, I think. More people are going to these sites and I hope it is because there is more compelling content. The growth of these sites also points to the need of individuals to share in a media rich way. We are seeing the evolution of a delivery platform of information. Blogs are to news papers as pod casts are to talk radio as video is to TV. Fun question will be what is the internet to the internet?
