    Wow!

    Absolutely love it!

    YouTube is definitely competing for “time on site ” against all the major social media sites.

    Watching a full length movie on YouTube is more then the average time users spend on other networks.

    Thank You Douglas for an awesome post!

    Dan, you’re spot on. An average time of an hour or more is my initial projection. Youtube is ultimately aiming for the #1 website on the internet, beating its parent company Google.

    Thanks Dan.

    Thank goodness, I dont have to watch them in parts, that’s one of my pet peeves when I watch something that runs for more than an hour at Youtube, that and my affinity with buffering mishaps.
