More television viewers are turning to the Internet to watch
videos, films and TV episodes, according to a new survey.
In the past year, YouTube has widened its lead as the top destination
for online videos, while search engines and television networks
have gained ground.
Approximately 65 percent of the 2,455 U.S. adults surveyed by
Harris Interactive said they have watched a video on YouTube,
compared to 42 percent during the same time last year.
"Viewing videos online seems to inspire a sense of adventure,
particularly among younger viewers," Joan Barten Kline, a
spokeswoman for the company, said in a statement.
More than one-third of viewers overall and half of those 18 to
24 said there is something they really enjoy about discovering
a cool video online.

"They seem to take particular pride in their finds online
and share them with friends," Barten Kline added.
More than 42 percent of YouTube viewers said they visit the site
frequently, up from 33 percent last year.
Apart from YouTube, which most people favored because they felt
it had almost every video they could find, 43 percent said they
have watched a video on a TV network Web site, followed by 35
percent on news sites and less than 30 percent on search engines
such as Yahoo and Google.
Social networks such as MySpace and Facebook as well as music
site iTunes also had a lower share of online viewers.
