New Online Video Stats Indicate that 2008 will be a Breakout Year

The fantastic PEW Internet and American Life Project has a new report out about online video trends. Some key highlights:


  • 48% of adult internet users have been to video-sharing sites such as YouTube, up from 33% at the end of the previous year.

  • Daily traffic to these sites has doubled since the end of 2006.

  • 30% of young adults (18-29) watch video on sites like YouTube on a typical day.

  • 20% of adult men also visit video sites on a typical day.



Meanwhile, according to this report from December, 57% of online teens are visiting these same sites regularly.

While none of this is especially shocking to me, it's further evidence for the assertions that 2008 will be a watershed year for online video consumption. 50% market penetration is generally considered the turning point for every major new technology, from the phone to radio to tv; and now it's hitting online video.
