Online streaming video is around the world. Every person can afford watching online TV or video on demand (VOD) just having an Internet access. As we already mentioned the Internet gained popularity both young and old (read the post: Internet Access vs. Streaming Video Online).
Internet users have a chance to find and watch video on the web by means of a number of ways. Today it is easy for you to gain access and take delight in digital video content on the go at work or at home.
The majority of Americans with Internet access watch video online, but most of them prefer watching short clips, rather than full-length TV shows or movies.
According to the resent poll (by techweb.com), U.S. residents ages 12 and up in February and followed up in March with those who had downloaded or streamed video content. The marketing research group’s biannual study found that online video has gone mainstream.
More than half of Americans with Internet access (44% of the overall population) has streamed video online. More than one in four has downloaded a digital video file.
“Clearly the YouTube phenomenon has caught on with Americans, and given their appetite for video, the ability to select and watch exactly what you want online has become a strong lure for many consumers,” Brian Cruikshank, executive VP of the Ipsos Insight Technology & Communications practice, said in a prepared statement.”
People appear to be watching more digital video on PCs and mobile TV phones, while avoiding traditional video delivery. Teens and young adults store 20% of their video collection on hard drives or have burned content onto DVD-R.
It’s evidently that internet users prefer short video clips, and YouTube is probably the force behind the popularity of short clips. Seventy-five percent of people who stream video have streamed short news or sports clips and 40% have accessed YouTube. One in five people who stream video has visited MySpace and Google Video, according to the report.
But according to our poll the first place took really Youtube and then goes Myspace, but Google is an outsider.
