A July Pew report indicated that 57% of U.S. internet users have watched videos online and most of them share what they find with others. The 18-29 age group, at 76%, watches the most online video. Our network blog last100 further reported that 19% of adults watch online video on a typical day.
News is the most popular genre of online video with every age group except for those ages 18-29, for whom comedy is watched more. YouTube is the most popular destination, with 27% of online video consumers saying they watch or download video from YouTube.
It’s on that latter point that this week’s poll will revolve. Read/WriteWeb readers are likely to use a larger variety of online video sites than the Pew audience, so we’re curious what the results of this poll will be. Note that there are literally hundreds of video sharing sites on the Web – we listed a lot of them in our February Online Video Index. So we can’t hope to include them all. But shout out in the comments if your favorite online video site isn’t in the list.
