Online movie watching continues strong growth

According to a new survey on 'American Internet habits' reported by the Pew Internet and American Life Project, online movie watching has doubled over the last two years.
35 percent of those surveyed said they had watched a TV show or movie online in 2009, up from 16 percent in 2007. About 25 percent of those watching content said they did so through their TV.

Says VB, "According to Pew, 62% of online users watched video through a sharing site in April, topping the 46% of Internet users who used a social networking site, the 19% who downloaded a podcast and the 11% that updated their status on Twitter."

89 percent of adults 18 to 29 now watch online video, with over 36 percent doing so on a daily basis.

Heh, I do now!! If I miss a show or want to go back and watch the classics, then I'll head over to Hulu to see it. And while it might now be the best site (video stutters and not 720p, WTF) I like it cause I don't have an HDTV right now, so I'll watch on CBS and FOX websites at times to get caught up (I currently work the evening/night shift) so this is convenience for me. Anyways, my 2 cents. - BLUEBOY
