Nielsen Report is in - Video on Websites take over

The Nielsen Report is a very well respected report on new media happenings and the results are in.

I have reviewed some hot golden nuggets from that report:

1. In the last year alone, time spent on social networking sites has surged 73%. That's a massive jump.

2. The number of American users frequenting online video destinations has climbed 339 percent since 2003 - What this means is that online video is the future.

3. Time spent on video sites has shot up almost 2,000 percent over the same period.

4. In February, social network usage exceeded Web-based e-mail usage for the first time. Can you imagine the implication of this? Hello Twitter messages, good bye email!

5. There are 87 percent more online social media users now than in 2003, with 883 percent more time devoted to those sites.

6. Mobile consumers of video have risen from 28.6 million in 2007 to 49.7 million as of February 2009

7. IPhone has a U.S. audience of 5.1 million unique visitors.
