Online Video Viewing Surges While Google Continues to Capitalize

comScore released its December online video viewing statistics yesterday. According to the report, December was record setting for the online video industry, reporting a growth of 13% over November in U.S. online video viewing. YouTube capitalized on that gain, accounting for 49% of the gain.

This increase further distances YouTube from its competitors. According to comScore this is the latest market-share breakdown of online video properties for U.S. online video viewing:
