YouTube Nation

Nearly half of Americans who use the Internet have used a video-sharing site such as YouTube, and daily traffic to watch or post video doubled last year, a new survey finds.

"Some people are still quite comfortable with the traditional online experiences and like the stuff they do online," he said. "They think of the video experience as the things they do on other hardware" - like a TV.



Among other findings, Pew said men are more likely than women to have used a video-sharing site - 53 percent compared with 43 percent. And 70 percent of adults under age 30 have done so, compared with only 16 percent of those 65 and older.
