In a recent survey by Universal McCann on Social Media, to the question "Thinking about using the internet, which of the following have you ever done?", the number of people who have watched video clips online is:
Daily: 22%
Weekly: 37%
Monthly: 16%
That makes a total of 75% of the 'Active Internet Universe' (their term, not mine) who watch clips relatively frequently.
However if you're considering where to put your video company assets online are only two rules you really need to know:
- It’s all about YouTube
- It’s all about YouTube
But brands are making big waves using online video, either is an entirely positive way or otherwise. For example, this clip of disney videos is corrupted in a powerful and wonderful AvenueQ-type way. In no way is this part of the original Disney philosphy:

However, if you are new to online video and want to know how you can still produce cost-effective clips at reasonable quality, then this guide by Duncan Riley may well help.

People who are a sensation in youtube who later become a popular celebrity is proof of how vast, effective, and popular it is to post videos in youtube.
Thanks for your comment.
YouTube can be great way to get content out to the masses and get feedback very quickly (good & bad!)
I guess I hope that talent will find a way to surface, regardless of the medium used.
The blurring of the media boundaries between the web and television has now happened and I believe it will continue, with video dominating the web as bandwidth continues to expand.
