Online Videos Taking Over In Light of Writer’s Strike
February 13, 2008
I was shocked at the number of people on the internet who have been utilizing YouTube and other online video sources in the recent months. I found this article on Mashable.com, which explained that 10,156,199,000 videos were watch online in December, from nearly 141 million users. The article also speculates that perhaps the shift from television to online viewing is increasing due to the Hollywood Writer’s Strike. I know that I personally have been spending more time online using social networking sites such as Facebook.com, or UGC sites such as YouTube.com, since my favorite shows are either not shown or on reruns currently. I bet there are many students in our class who can say the same thing. And now with IMS 201, I am learning about more websites to visit in my free time!
