Hulu's Explosive Growth Continues

YouTube still No. 1 in streaming video arena

May 14, 2009

- Nielsenwire


NEW YORK Hulu continued its explosive growth trajectory, increasing 490 percent in total streams year-over-year, from 63.2 million in April 2008 to 373.3 million in April 2009, making it the fastest-growing brand among the top 10.

Even so, YouTube continued to rank as the No. 1 video Web brand with 5.5 billion total streams in April.

"Historically, short-form, clip-length video has ruled streaming on the Web, as demonstrated by YouTube's top spot month after month," said Jon Gibs, vice president, media and analytics, Nielsen Online.

He added: "Hulu, along with pure-play providers like Veoh and the TV networks, have spent the past two years trying to convince consumers that the Internet can be a good place to watch full-length programming as well. April's strong showings of Hulu, Fox and ABC suggest that consumers are beginning to listen."

Hearing Little Good Economic News

March 19, 2010

One reason why people feel glum about the economy and, hence, their ability to spend: Little of the economic news they hear is unambiguously upbeat. Polling this month by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press asked respondents to characterize the news they're hearing these days on this topic.
