Facebook 5th Largest Provider of Videos, 9 June 2010

“Facebook is now the 5th largest provider of videos. They had over 41 million unique video views in the month of April 2010—that’s more than CBS, Microsoft, Hulu, Viacom, or Turner (the rest of the top 10).

Facebook is the number 2 referrer of traffic to YouTube, accounting for more than 16% of YouTube’s views. Just to put that in perspective:  Google is the number 1 referrer to YouTube, sending the video portal 18% of the overall traffic. And it drops off considerably after that, with MySpace taking the third spot by accounting for a measly 4% of YouTube referrals.” — Jeremey Scott, ReelSEO
