Web video viewership balloons by two-thirds
By: Walaika Haskins

This is according to a comScore report released Wednesday, 16 April, at the annual meeting of the National Association of Broadcasters in Las Vegas, USA.

The comScore data shows that the number of videos viewed online has risen by two-thirds since February 2007. Roughly 73% of Internet users in the US viewed video online in February.
