According to the report Google sites were responsible for the ">viewing of more than 10 billion video clips for the month, about 40% of the total viewing. 99% of the Google clips were watched via YouTube.
Also in the top five were Microsoft sites (547 million clips, 2% market share), Viacom Digital (539 million clips, 2% share), Hulu (488 million clips, 1% share) and Fox Interactive Media (380 million clips, 1% share).
Other interesting findings include:
• 81% of US consumers watched an online clip
• On average, viewers consumed 582 minutes of video (9.7 hours)
• YouTube saw 120 million consumers log on
