Good Grief! 100M per day?


Look, I know you folks like my little jazz clips I have posted here, but did you think we would be the ones to push it over 100M per day? Hey, some one did, might as well be us that takes credit for it.

Seriously though, this company has literally beat everyone to the top of the video sharing space. And no one seems to know why. Early MySpace embedding... maybe, but looking at the stats climb precipitously in the last 3 months makes me not too quick to embrace it. It is an amazing site to place your video portfolios, so get on 'em.
Technology News Article | Reuters.com: "SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - YouTube, the leader in Internet video search, said on Sunday viewers have 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 late last year, YouTube has come to hold the leading position in online video with 29 percent of the U.S. multimedia entertainment market, according to the latest weekly data from Web measurement site Hitwise.

YouTube videos account for 60 percent of all videos watched online, the company said. Videos are delivered free on YouTube and the company is still working on developing advertising and other means of generating revenue to support the business."
