Why Video?

Old Spice Commercial

YouTube, the leader in Internet video search, said last year that viewers are now watching more than 100 million videos per day on its site, marking the surge in demand for its “snack-sized” video fare.

Since springing from out of nowhere, YouTube has come to hold the leading position in online video with 29 percent of the U.S. multimedia entertainment market, according to the data from Web measurement site Hitwise.

YouTube videos account for 60 percent of all videos watched online, the company said. …

In June, 2.5 billion videos were watched on YouTube, which is based in San Mateo, California and has just over 30 employees. More than 65,000 videos are now uploaded daily to YouTube, up from around 50,000 in May, the company said.
