Washington - Some 57% of U.S. Internet users have watched videos online, and about one in five (19%) do so daily, according to a new telephone survey of 1,492 Internet users conducted by the Pew Internet & American Life Project. Among those who have broadband both at work and at home, 75% said they watch or download video online. More than half (57%) of Internet users said they share links to videos they find with others, and 75% said they receive links to watch videos from others. News is the most popular form of online video, followed by comedy. Just 7% of all users said they had paid for some form of online video, a figure that rose to 10% for the 18-29 age demographic. The survey also found that a "motivated minority" of online video viewers -- mostly young adults -- actively exploit the participatory features of online video, such as rating content, posting feedback or actually uploading video themselves.
