TV strike seems to push video on web

I have personally been watching more video on the web because I got a beta invite to hulu for one thing, and it is a no-brainer that video that is organized and searchable is going to be more attractive than having to search for one's own (at least for a digital immigrant like myself.) As a blogger/teacher/online publisher, I have found a big push toward live videocasting from the web, as well as just more video apps. I like Miro, as it has been out for some time, but it is evolving to be a better and better app. But enough of the anecdotal stuff, look at the figures on vid viewing for December 2008. 

Other notable findings from December 2007 include:

* 77.6 million viewers watched 3.2 billion videos on YouTube.com (41.6 videos per viewer)

* 40.5 million viewers watched 334 million videos on MySpace.com (8.2 videos per viewer)

* Online viewers watched an average of 3.4 hours (203 minutes) of online video during the month, representing a 34-percent gain since the beginning of 2007

* The average online video duration was 2.8 minutes

* The average online video viewer consumed 72 videos

I'm intrigued that there were an order of magnitude more videos viewed on YouTube, even though the site had less than twice as many viewers watching.
