Pew Internet Report : The State of Online Video

Posted on June 6, 2010 | Leave a comment

Pew Internet has released a new report “The State of Online Video”

OVERVIEW

Seven in ten adult internet users (69%) have used the internet to watch or download video. That represents 52% of all adults in the United States.

Driven by the popularity of online video among 18-29 year-olds, there have been dramatic increases since 2007 in the number of American adults watching:

  • Comedy or humorous videos, rising in viewership from 31% of adult internet users in 2007 to 50% of adult internet users in the current survey
  • Educational videos, rising in viewership from 22% to 38% of adult internet users
  • Movies or TV show videos, rising in viewership from 16% to 32% of adult internet users
  • Political videos, rising in viewership from 15% to 30% of adult internet users

On the other side of the camera, video creation has now become a notable feature of online life. One in seven adult internet users (14%) have uploaded a video to the internet, almost double the 8% who were uploading video in 2007. Home video is far and away the most popular content posted online, shared by 62% of video uploaders. And uploaders are just as likely to share video on social networking sites like Facebook (52% do this) as they are on more specialized video-sharing sites like YouTube (49% do this).

Yet, while video-sharing is growing in popularity, adult internet users have mixed feelings about how broadly they want to share their own creations. While 31% of uploaders say they “always” place restrictions on who can access their videos, 50% say they “never” restrict access. The remaining 19% fall somewhere in the middle. And while there is almost universal appreciation for the ease with which video-sharing sites allow uploaders to share video with family and friends, a considerable number (35%) also feel they should be more careful about what they post.

Indian Readership Survey 2010 Q1

Posted on May 5, 2010 | 4 Comments

afaqs! informs about MRUC’s IRS 2010 Q1 survey conducted by Hansa Research

Media Research Users Council (MRUC) has released the first quarterly report of the Indian Readership Survey (IRS) for 2010. IRS 2010, Q1 provides insights about the media consumption habits of Indian consumers and the overall interaction of the Indians with various media. The study has been conducted by Hansa Research in collaboration with MRUC.

The report points out that the time spent on traditional as well as modern media is going up. An average Indian, who interacts with media, spent 125 minutes on various media platforms in 2010; as opposed to 117 minutes spent in 2006 – a growth of around 7 per cent.

"Almost everywhere, there has been a growth in time spent – by gender, by almost all age groups, as well as by SEC groups. Also, women are driving this phenomenon more than men," says the report.

The surprising thing is IRS is such reputable Media report in India but MRUC’s own site is not updated on IRS post 2008 and Hansa Research site is throwing up error in registering for IRS topline download report for the 2nd day in a row.

I was more interested in knowing about internet but with 1.5 pc reach is 2008 to 2 percent reach in 2010 there’s no great news.
